2. It's a boathouse outside my family's cabin in CT.
I wish it was summer and that I was there. The other three pics are from inside the cabin.

My parents had one at their resort. Loved to sit on top and sun...

23. Burp! Food poisoning with that?
I have only been in a Taco Bell restaurant once. I didn't eat there. I just used the bathroom and washed my hands.

42. Try being vegetarian and traveling across Texas and New Mexico
A lot of times it's either Subway or Taco Bell. Often it's only one of them. Or you can try to local restaurant and get laughed at when you ask about vegetarian options. "HOney, we put meat in our iced tea here!"

39. thanks, I'm a photographer, but I almost never set out to take nature
images, as I respect the hard work and dedication of the (very few) photographers who really do it well.

But that image presented itself, and I'm quite happy with it; it seems to say something beyond just "beauty".

48. You're right -- It says much more than "beauty."
It's an invitation, a meditation, other-worldly.

It's a very small island in the Florida Keys.

35. I'd need air conditioning, sorry! I don't find any here... looks like
Phuket, Thailand. At least they had a room airconditioner in the bedroom. Otherwise, I would have died...

Looks like a beautiful place.

30. I think this is self-explanatory
Considering I just spent $600 on my car today, even though paycheck was short because of the snow days I had to take off.

I am hoping the guy comes with the pile of money, too.

32. Arriving here...


The Pennsylvanian Union Train Station, designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham, features a masonry exterior, marble floors, ornate terra cotta and plaster work, a central atrium covered by a large skylight and a spectacular entry rotunda. The beautiful example of early 20th century architecture is located at Grant Street and Liberty in downtown Pittsburgh.

The Pennsylvanian Union Station underwent a massive renovation in 1987 and is included in the National Register of Historic Places. The upper floors serve as a 12-story luxury condominium building, with the first floor serving as special events space. Amtrack still runs trains out of the basement of this magnificent structure.

36. A shelf?
I, personally, would not want to rest on a shelf. I'd rather rest on the couch or chair, but not the shelf.

50. I wish I could be there, too. I haven't been to Kauai, yet.
I took the photos I posted. They're all from my family's cabin in Stonington, CT. I wish it was summer again and I was spending my days swimming, tubing, snorkeling, fishing, tanning, boating, shooting air rifles and blowing up very large fireworks.
