Syph's absolutely no life giveaway

Sweety-Sama · **Reply #30 on:** April 03, 2014, 07:46:52 PM

Hey, congrats on a not life!

I'm totally in!

That's the view from our window towards the market. I made this shot a couple of weeks ago while Friday market was on and the church was set on fire. (The stool you tell your sins in) So you see the local fire department at work too.

Here we are at the street before our apartment watching the carnival parade. That was in February.

I will post some pictures on Sunday. We will have a car fair in our street then. Hopefully I find some interesting cars! Last year we could take a look at the fire truck of the NATO air base that's situated here.

Congrats on reaching the absolutely no life mark.

And for once, most of the posts were actually on topic.

We'll have to change that.

As for the pics, just one from me for now plus a few stock ones. I'll try to take a few over the weekend.

A look outside my bedroom window, back yard and garden. Only strawberries and onions growing in the garden for now.

Panoramic view of the old city of Čakovec ( that's where the _ck part comes from

)

And a few pics of Croatian nature and sights on CNN's page from yesterday.

Not right outside my window but a car ride away - the Washington DC tidal basin during the blooming of the cheery blossoms:

Congrats on the 5000 Syph! Thank you for the chance and I have to say I AM SOOOOO IN!!! Heres to the next 5000!

Here is a picture I took from atop a close by mountain.

Here is where I spend my spare time

Many thanks!!
I'm in.
It's a shot from outside my back window. Still a little cold here in NH, that's a frozen lake inlet behind the first trees.

You play dirty gentlemen.

Here's a pic of my town, Piraeus, the port of Athens. I live between the second and the third port on the right (Kastella, between Zea and Microlimanon ports).

a chance at a Syph custom. Most generous old chap

Little old Brisbane, Queensland. aka Brisneyland, aka Bris-Vegas

Congrats on NO life whatsoever. And thanks for the great giveaway.

Here's a deer roaming around the back yard. See them regularly; also skunks and raccoons. Occasionally foxes, and earlier this year a pair of coyotes.

Happy 5000th

Here's a view of the winner of the worst bridge contest at Newcastle upon Tyne, a few miles from where I live.

Mining town Parral, Chihuahua on Mexican Independence Day...

Thanks Syph for the chance.

This is our Town hero Niklaus Thut (please notice how well shaped his "lower back" is

). He led the troops of Zofingen against those Swiss insurgent in the battle of Sempach, all 8 soldiers.

And a bit a wider angle of the town-center.

Lynn LeFey · **Reply #42 on:** April 03, 2014, 11:20:10 PM

First, congratulations. I'm headed into that area myself... soonish.

Second... OMG, this is an AWESOME giveaway! Whether I win or not, it's incredibly generous. Most folks give away something they buy (which is what I'll do at 5k). You're giving away a custom creation, and that is so much cooler.

As for the pic... not mine, but just down the street from me...

Yes, for some reason, my town is home to the world's largest catsup bottle.

Maybe more interesting to the history buffs. Monk's Mound, the largest pre-Columbian earthwork north of mezoamerica.

We take out evening walks in the park surrounding this.

Lafayette? I'm from Jennings area originally but have been mostly living in Beaumont for a while now. Nice to see another Cajun around these parts!

Judging from your pics, always in the middle of snow, I was expecting something like this:

thanks for the giveaway and congrats on 5000

I'd love to own a piece of your work

This is a picture of my truck in front of my house. Can't compare to these great photos.

I'd like to join, if I have enough activity here to participate. Thanks for the chance either way.

Wow, there are some really beautiful pics here

I have nothing nearly as great as many of the pics I've seen, but here are a couple I took from the window in my office at work.

I may try to take some more pics of the surrounding area, but I've got nothing nearly as scenic as what I'm seeing here so far. Great pics everyone

Luna Knife · **Reply #51 on:** April 04, 2014, 03:43:03 AM

Here is my backyard a few winters ago with my 2 dogs.

What a nice idea to have people share from where they are in the world. It makes this community feel closer. Thanks for hosting this awesome giveaway

Congrats! Here, nothing special, just a tree that I like down at the one park near by.. JR

Congrats on 5000, and thanks for the generous giveaway.

First picture is the looking back toward the town where I live from the mountain across the river. Second is at the annual balloon festival about 15 miles from my house.

edursr · **Reply #55 on:** April 04, 2014, 05:40:07 AM

Here is my much loved city, Rio de Janeiro, host of next World Cup and Olympic Games...

I live in a part of the city called Barra da Tijuca, very beautiful and close to the sea, in a 22 flours building, about 5 minutes away from the beach...

I would LOVE to have a Syph modd, thanks a lot for the generosity!!!

Etherealicer · **Reply #56 on:** April 04, 2014, 08:57:57 AM

Wow, so many beautiful places each with its own charm. Now I want to travel again...
