I wanted to share the photos of Izmir, the city I live in, and hope to see how do your cities look like :)

P.S. Please do not post photos which are more than 600 px in width.

Shortly, Izmir is Turkey's third largest city (About 3 million inhabitants) and second most important port. A city of palm-lined promenades, avenues and green parks set in sweeping curves along a circular bay, Izmir has an exceptionally mild climate and many fine places.

well, I live in SF, so I'm sure everyone's seen what this city looks like. Just picture it with more homeless people than you can ever thought possible and you'll have the whole story.

thats a wonderful place seawise. beautiful pictures. This is my hometown. Quite a different looking place. We just don't have buildings like in your city. but the houses are super colorful. lol. :) Everytime someone visits our city, they go downtown on a street called George Street, and if you drink, you drink a glass of this black liqour called screech and you have to kiss a cod (fishhead) if you are new to the city. funny huh? lol. Its not a requirement obviously, its done as a funny type of entertainment. we also have our own dictionary for the words we have. See it at this link. http://www.heritage....ry/d1ction.html
Here are the pictures!

Thanks apresico :). Well i am not really a big fan of big buildings indeed. I loved the colorful look of your hometown. Hey a lot of trees kept alive, that is great. How is the climate there?

Yer mate its true, Australia does rock. But it is slowly becoming America's side kick so soon any unique image we once had will soon be lost, along with innocent lives fighting an unnecessary war.

seawise: it is decently warm in summer (we only have 3 months of summer) and in the winter, snow is piled up over our heads. way over our heads. lol. we get a lot of blizzards in the winter, but summer is wonderful. As well, there are no natural storms like hurricanes or anything, so its quite a peaceful climate besides for the snow. We have a LOT of trees. its really nice.

Snow is great. We don't have much of that here in İzmir. We have 4 months of summer July and August is crazy hot. We have many beaches to the Aegean Sea so everbody's and they are 40 minutes at most by car. The winters are not very tough here, mostly rain and sometimes even sunny. When it snows everybody enjoys it cause it is rare :). We also have a beautiful spring. But autumn is really windy.

Sergey, you don't have hills in Kostroma as far as i can understand from the pics right? It seems plain and also the buildings are in a very regular order. Unplanned construction is becoming a big problem in my city.

no, the whole area is very plain. as for the city planning, the central part of the city is very organized (see the plan) as for other parts, I guess it's more or less like in other places :)
