I'm not going to show you pictures of where I live because I live in the Chicago suburbs. If you've seen one American suburb, you've seen them all; it's nothing but subdivisions and strip malls.

So instead, here's a picture of "the Bean" in Chicago:

The artist actually named this sculpture "Cloud Gate" or something, but everyone calls it the Bean.

I've lived all around the world, and I have to admit that I like the architecture of Chicago. The working class vibe is nice, but I could do without some of the segregation.

Thanks for sharing. I sometimes see the bean in movies and wanted to google maps it but never could find it. Chicago is a beautiful city, I agree.

This is my neck of the woods right outside of Austin in Texas Hill Country. I was born and raised here by a very Texan cowboy and a proper Brit mum. I recharge every time I go home to visit. And yes, those are grapevines. There's a wonderful winery in the "neighborhood."

Sweet googley-moogley, but that is some nice color-mapping on that first image!

The Hill Country is very colorful! Especially during Blue Bonnet season! A major drought a couple of years ago really knocked out all of the color, especially Fall colors. But it bounced back last year.

Yeah, I know it's beautiful. Have plenty of friends from there, but I was really admiring the work of the digital photographer.

And I should have said tone mapping, not color mapping. Shame on me for using the wrong term. :p

I wanna try the puffy tacos!

Also, Texas has the largest population of Korean-Americans. I have to imagine that boolgogi made with good Texas beef tastes marvelous.

Alright, now I made myself salivate.

I didn't know that about Korean Americans. Hmmm. I thought that would be Atlanta! In fact, in a suburb there is a Mexican Korean supermarket! Seriously! The produce department is so awesome and a little disconcerting, while the meat market is downright scary.

If you go to a restaurant for boolgogi, look for one that lets you make your own lettuce wraps at the table and offers lots of different pickles on the side.
