Natural beauty of your hometown

[an anarchist]

Tell me about your hometown. Specifically, the natural beauty there is.

I'll start.

I live in the desert. My town is built on a hill. On top of the hill, I can see the sand dunes. With the sun shining on them, they look like glistening golden mountains.

I used to be in training for the Border Patrol when I was a teenager. They'd take us out to both kinds of desert we have: the sand dunes, and the other kind with cactuses and tumbleweeds and coyotes and stuff. We'd pretty much play hide and seek in miles of desert, learning how to track people.

I'm well acquainted with the desert.

What about you? Tell me about the natural habitat of your hometown.

There's trees and stuff.

We're in the Midwest; its not particularly remarkable, and what beauty was there was torn up for farmland.

But, the nature of creeks makes them difficult to farm too close to, so we have the Katoski Greenbelt going through the west side of the city(and much further out, as the creek goes on pretty far) where the natural environment is still intact, if only for a quarter mile on each side. Its a gently wooded area, with a few expanses of prairie grasses here and there.

This would have been a nice place if it wasn't so disturbed.

I'm a Londoner. One feature of London is that it is an amalgamation of what once were individual villages, many of which had village greens or tracts of "common" land, originally reserved for pasture and not built upon even today. As a result, although London is an enormous urban sprawl, you are almost never more than 15 minutes walk from a bit of green space. Where I live, I have Clapham Common within 5 minutes, Wandsworth Common within 10 and Tooting Common within 20 minutes walk.

The landscape of my hometown is desert. At the bottom of a massive valley, we are ringed with mountains, of which the western one actually has forests and a ski area. There is a small wetland area with water, and lots of bird life to the south. To the east side of the city, through the mountain lies a lake, of which you can boat, jet ski, or fish.

But for the most part, everything else is hard compact sand/dirt, dry brush, and little else. It's also very hot for 3/4 of the year.

Edit: and cityscapes, lots of city.

I'm from a Lancashire village on the banks of the river Ribble. Rural and pretty. Archaeology shows it had bronze age beginnings, it was a roman port and garrison, it's still called by its roman name. I spent much of my childhood swimming in the river or getting on the archaeologist nerves by playing among the Roman ruins.

It has a lovely beach.

I haven't lived there for the last 45 years .. can't afford it.
I'll be happy with the life hereafter, God willing..

A large natural peninsula jutting out into one of the five Great Lakes forms a large natural bay. The peninsula is a state park with no commercial development and long beaches on the lake side, with a marina and lagoons and small bays and inlets on the bay side. The town is on the opposite (shore) side of the bay, with more marinas and restaurants and a small convention center on the bay-front. A truly beautiful place, but with hard, cold winters. I live just to the right of the vary bottom right-hand corner of the photo.

Is a home town the one you were born in, grew up in or currently live in? I always get confused. Each one is beautiful but I didn't know which one to talk about.

Typically it means where you were born, but your current residence is the town where your home is

I was born in Kailua, Hawaii.

This is where I call home for now.

That place is a maze... we got on the wrong exit passing through there over the summer. It was not easy trying to get out.

They'll soon have spaghetti junction reworked. Originally, planners hadn't counted on Louisville becoming a boom town. I guess they figured the 1950s and 60s is as far as was needed for growth. Now, there are more bridges and cars than ever.

I've been here most my life and occasionally get turned around downtown.

I was raised on a farm about 20 miles away from 2 towns, each around population 2000. So I don't have a home town at all. A small slow river with a beautiful valley was only a couple of miles away.

Today I live in a beautiful city with a river (and deep valley) flowing through the middle. Tons of park space here.

Anywhere Pacific Northwest is delightful paradise. I've thought about moving to Northern California. I'm a Willow Creek/Bluff Creek Redwoods and Sierra-Nevada kinda fan. But, the whole coastal region is delightful.

Oregon is amazing. It's got valleys, ocean, lakes, and mountains, all within a few hours of each other. Almost always lush and green.
