OT: Pictures of Home

[KiwiGriff]

As I walk to work, listening to hockey podcasts and reading the HF board while looking across the harbour, I thought it’d be cool to see photos from you guys. This is Wellington Harbour, with the rowing club coming in from their morning out. New Zealand has a history of rowing achievement.

Do you guys have great photos of where you live/work/come from to share?

PS im not creeping on you, I don’t want street addresses haha.

I want the ocean that close to me when I retire (which is pretty damn soon).

Admittedly more of a home away from home.

The land you see on the other side of the water is the USA.

There’s a lot of nature and whatnot around my city. Most nice pictures you’ll see are of Lake Superior.

Here's a picture of my neighborhood, taken by my kite.

I have a bunch more from around my area at my website, Southern Maryland Kite Aerial Photography.

thanks for the nice pics, are there any advantages of using kite over drone? flight clearance?

Very awesome. We were there on vacation a few months ago. I was very impressed how well they handled covid

Fewer restrictions/scrutiny, and similarly, the general public tends to be appreciative of kites but wary of drones. Another consideration is that you need a fairly big and expensive drone to lift a decent quality camera. With a kite you can do it for less than $100. Plus I just enjoy flying kites.

I've only ever eaten at the one in Derby

I took these in July at Gratwick Park in North Tonawanda. My car was stuffed to the gills with things I was moving but when I saw all the kites I decided to stop and take a break.

I thought they were random people at the time. Later I found out that Great Lakes Kitefliers Society of Western New York is based there and they're out every other Sunday.

The water looks so flat!

The water looks so flat!

But it's actually slightly curved.

@Buffaloed
When my dad moved from Pennsylvania to NT for work in the late 1950s, all that Gratwick Park land was a garbage landfill. They filled over it and built the park.
Grew up there. My first non-summer job was on River Road.
