Sweet, a Swedefag.
I'm saying that because Åland should belong to Sweden, there's nothing Finnish about it. sooo, Fuck you.

>>101245
Yeah, I know. All Ålandfags want to be Swedish anyway, and people aren't too positive against Finnish people. My mom is Finnish though, so I've luckily grown up with a not so narrow-minded perspective.

there was no snow this winter

Oh shit, i learned about the Aland island in high school history. Minor partial success of the League of Nations and shit.

>>101271
*islands

>>101271
Haha, it was one of the few times the League of Nations actually managed to do something.

But this wasn't supposed to be an Åland thread. Isn't anyone up for the idea? :(

Finns actually offered booze to the league of nation guys. Its nearer to sweden than finland and they all speak swedish.
Could you elaborate a bit on your attitudes considering us "real" finns? I thought they werent that bad

It's a very nice place. I can't imagine living anywhere else.

how do you like winnipeg?

Nej men Åland är en stor del av Finlands finladssvenska kultur (8-9 procent av befolkningen e kanske inte mycket men när hela den 8-9 procent är packad i samma hörn av Finland så är kulturen rätt stark här) Själv är jag finlandssvensk Åbo-fag in case du undrar.

TL;DR and/or doesnt speak swedish - Åland is still a big part of Finland's swedish speaking minority (around 8-9 percent I think it is) but this 8-9 percent is clustered into one corner of Finland, making that culture rather strong in this area (southwestern Finland which is where I live)

Sorry for not being able to contribute to the thread :(
Anyway, Åbo - Finland-fag here.

>>101588
Really cool view!

Freehold, New Jersey

Sorry for my screen in the shot, but there is not too much to see out my window anyway. Its winter and cold, but it rarely ever snows, and if it does, it rarely ever sticks.

>>101670
A big WTF is in order. Why are there still boats in the water? Ice could fuck up the hull big time.

>>102444
thoose woods look like a good place to shit some brix at night

>>102444

I grew up in Manasquan and attended several juvenile hearings in Freehold. We used to get snow when I lived there...

>>102446

Yeah, I'm sure the Swedes don't know anything about boats and ice, not to mention that water clearly is in fact water, not ice.

Beijing

New Mexico

>>101316
Wow suburban Ottawa all looks the same. I've seen those same houses near/off/around Meadowlands area and in the South Keys area. How boring.

>>102463
We still do, but not like 10 years ago. This time of the year its just cold and dry. Rains a lot more in the fall now and less in winter.

Norfolk, VA.

Pardon the extremely shitty cell phone pic. I lost my camera.

>>101668

Only faggots live in park slope

>>101280 But this wasn't supposed to be an Åland thread. Isn't anyone up for the idea? :(

I'm sorry but I just have to know this, YLE or SVT? Since you are in Finland you should be getting YLE, but you speak Swedish so SVT seems like the better idea.

>>102474

Good eye, sir. I live just off Meadowlands.

>>102508
SVT. I can't even see YLE in my room since I don't have a digibox.

>>102550
What the hell happened in that snow? It looks like there was a scuffle and someone was dragged off.

>>102562
Kids sledding. The pic is from 3 stories up so its a pretty fun steep hill to go down.

>>102577

Looks like we're getting another foot of snow tonight/tomorrow, man. remember to flip up your wipers.

>>102444
Oh cool, a Freeholdian, what's up? Fellow Freeholdian here, it's too dark to post, so this is the most recent pic I have.

Too dark in NJ to take any pictures. Sorry.

>>102446 Why are there still boats in the water?
Because thanks to global warming or some other shit the winter was really mild this year and there was barely any icing on that river. But just infront of that bridge is where they take up the boats to the nearby marina yards, so it's quite possilbe that it was there to be taken up from the water, even though it's a bit late in the year for that.

>>102520 SVT. I can't even see YLE in my room since I don't have a digibox.
Whoa! back the fuck up. First of all, do you mean SVT Europa? Because SVT is all digital in Sweden, no analouge broadcasts anymore. And if you do mean SVT, don't mooch of my TV-license! :P

>>102619
Lol, round hill.

I'm like 4 miles away.

>>102783
Scratch that I live 2.3 miles away.

I mean regular SVT. I dunno, it somehow works for some reason. I get about 14 channels just like that, which range from SVT1, TV3, TV4 to Discovery Channel and BBC News.

>>101670

Åkersberga?

i`m in a suburb from Bern, Switzerland.

Yes, we have cows.

>>102793
Nice chemtrails, bro

>>101582
because its fucking boring as shit.

>>102890
I... i just found that beatiful.

Hey Bern guy, what's on the other side of that hill?

capreol onatrio
a railway town

eh, give or take

This is a great thread idea, OP. It'd be neat if we could make this a constant thing (perhaps generalize it to 'post pictures of your town' or whatever?)

Too late to take anything right now, but I'll come up with something soon.

Michigan, USA

This is a shitty time of the year to do this, everyone's pictures are gonna be bleak winter landscapes of hell

>>104751

There`s no "other side", theres a plateau on top with wide open fields and little picturesque farms. It`s awesome, you can switch from your typical suburban landscape to the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere by just walking up that hill.

>>104820
God, I'm jealous.

Moved to the Netherlands 6 years ago and living here is good plus I have a great career but I really, really miss "real" nature.

Living in the Netherlands is like living is a huge park.

>>104838
I'd trade places with you, it's cool for maybe the first few days of snowfall but after that it's just bleak and awful. It hasn't gotten above 10 F all week

Fuck you asshole! All you assholes who look out and there is raw foliage and winter snow mounted, where you can run outside free and feel the cold wind, where there is quiet and a sense of ancestral enigmatic spirits whistling by!!!!!!! I live in shit! The surgance of my life draining away in this hellhole!!

From yesterday,
Huntington Beach, California

Might be a bit cheating.
I actually walked up to the main road to get the best pic.
Its from last week in northern sweden in a town called Haralds, happens fairly regularly during winter.

>>105002
This is the actual house though. (pic taken during the same night,)

Oi, where did all pictures go?
Moar!

Great thread OP.

Man, I'm so jealous of you guys. The view from my window is nothing but a bunch of buildings.

>>104820

>>102550
Holy shit another NHfag in /trv/! I'm in Dover.

>>106601
are you sure you don't mean wisconsin?

>>106601
The UP is basically wisconsin. It's called michigan and when they vote it's counted as michigan but it's basically an extension of wisconsin for anything else.

Use to live there....fucking was cool in the early 90's then all the white trash and beaners from inland came and fucked it all up.

>>106729

Dude thats like 4 hours north from here.

Milford, Delaware -- it's trying to snow, but doing a bad job of it. Didn't stop the schools from going batshit and closing anyway.

>>106731

No you!

Snowed last night, figured I would take a picture of something other than the trees in the back of my house.

Instead, snow covered trees in the front.

I see your neighbor has it, but wheres the american flag on your land?? you dont have one? what are ya some terrerist from al kiduh?

Yeah, im finnish, but i speak swedish, im 'finlandssvensk' and i'd rather live in Åland or Sweden - Fucking finns are racist bastards >_>

>>106835

And to add, im not meaning 'all' of the finns are racists etc, but i keep hearing this shit from my so called 'friends', like "Vitun hurri", "9% of the finnish population are gay, and theres 9% swedes in finland.." blah blah. Getting a bit tired of it, sucks, nothing I can do about it.

I hate you, OP, just thought you should know.

(Amerifag who has an unhealthy obsession with the Islands of Peace)

ps. Seriously, if it's not too much trouble, can you tell me a little about the place? I've always wanted to go there.

>>107071
Uh, yeah, sure. What do you want to know?

How come you even know about the place?

>>107071

I hope Åland is not to you what Japan is to weeaboos: magical wonderland where you can escape when life sucks...until realizing that it's not as good as you think.

As for the finlandssvensk...I'll give any girl a double bonus if they speak swedish too, it's a turn-on. Doesn't bother me that much but then again, I'm from Kuopio which lies in the eastern part of Finland. I've seen more russians than swedes here, even my room mate was russian.

this is not my own photo (i'am at work), but this is were I currently live.

Munich (south), in Bavaria, Germany.

>>107076

I'm a geographer at heart, and islands have always fascinated me. Åland (much like Madeira, Faroe Islands, and Jan Mayen) has always stood out for some reason. It just seems so.... unique. So, what's it like over there? Is the place as beautiful as pictures lead you to believe? Is it boring? What do you guys do for fun? And what about the Island Games, you looking forward to that? In all honesty, I wasn't sure what to ask, so this are random questions, more than anything. I guess what I would like to know is, Åland, the crown jewel of the Baltic Sea, what can Anonymous who actually lives there tell me about it? Thanks.

>>107105
Okay, I'll try to answer as much as I can.

>>Is the place as beautiful as pictures lead you to believe?

In the summer, yes, it's absolutely beautiful here. There's the countryside, the archipelago and the nature is all round very diverse. There really isn't any need to go on vacation anywhere in the summer, since it gets really warm and the whole city gets lively thanks to all the tourists. My family owns a sailboat (I guess most households have some kind of boat around here), and it's fantastic to cruise around in the archipelago. Now though, my family has bought a nice summer house on one of the larger municipalities in the archipelago (Föglö, if you know of it), which takes about an hour to get to via one of the ferries, so the boat doesn't get used as often.

Oh, and Pommern, the ship in the pic you posted, I live about ten minutes walking distance from it.

>>107105

>>Is it boring? What do you guys do for fun?

When it's not summer, kinda, but not excruciatingly. It depends on what kind of a person you are. People often complain that there isn't very much to do (in fact, complaining is one the things Ålanders (I guess that's what you'd call us) are best at!), but there really is quite a lot, if you consider how few people actually live here. I can't vouch for the rednecks, but here in Mariehamn there's at least quite a bit to do. There are a few bars and clubs, so some kind of nightlife exists. People are pretty keen on all sorts of cultural events. There are a lot of sporting events too, I guess (a lot of people are in to sports, you could almost consider it strange if you're not into sports of some kind). Oh, and people go to Stockholm over the weekend to shop.

I'm not really the type that likes sports or goes out very much (at least not here) so I'm quite content just spending my time with stuff I like (SURPRISINGLY stuff like movies, video games and comics), so I don't mind living here. It's calm, safe and a really nice place to grow up in.

>>107131
It gets cramped, though, and I'll be moving away to study at some university in Sweden pretty soon. As Åland is quite small, everybody knows who you are, and everybody kinda wants to keep others in check. People tend to fall in kind of a pattern, where you smile at everyone, but talk shit about them behind their backs (I guess it's because it's not that nice to be enemies with someone and have to run into them all the time), and there's a lot of gossip going around about whatever. For some reason many people here also fall into another kind of pattern where Åland is really all that matters. Åland is the centre of the universe and people are more interested in talking about their neighbours trip to Thailand than important events around the world and such. That's generalizing a bit though, but it holds true for many.

>>And what about the Island Games, you looking forward to that?

Personally, nah, not really. Like I said, I'm not into sports, but there'll probably be a lot going on in the city at the time, so it'll be nice, I guess.

Uh, yeah, I seem to have written quite a lot, maybe even about stuff you aren't really interested in at all. Hope there aren't too many typos and grammatical errors.

Hmm, I'll tell you what, if there's anything more you'd like to know, I could add just add you on MSN Messenger or something, and we can talk that way.

Backyard, not very long ago.

>Hmm, I'll tell you what, if there's anything more you'd like to know, I could add just add you on MSN Messenger or something, and we can talk that way.

To be honest, I have neither a working e-mail nor IM right now (loaned computer, plus overall faggotry on my part). However, thanks for the offer and the response. Know that it was truly appreciated, as it helped me learn more about the beautiful place you call 'home'. Once again, thank you, Anon, and good luck!

Just taken with my crappy iPhone Camera.

Foggy weather in Munich, Germany.

whoops.. forgot to rotate it.

Switzerland, near Lausanne
Not my photo but I have that kind of view

This was taken about a month ago, still looks the same.

sorry this photo is so poorly taken

took it right infront of my house, which is about an hour north of Los Angeles, the not so shitty neighborhoods

>>107601

i also forgot to add, that hill you can see in the back (which is a lot closer than it looks) was literally set ablaze during the storm of wildfires we had here. You can't really tell but it is in very poor condition.

It was scary as fuck, too. The smoke was literally blowing all over the street you see in the photo and I had to put on a fucking mask to block it. I couldn't even evacuate because the police closed off the roads.

>>107541

where is this, dearest anon?

I call bullshit on like 95% of these pictures. These aren't views from your windows, most of them look like scenery shots from the local park/forest or whatever.

Vasteras, Sweden.

Sunbury, on the very outskirts of Melbourne, Australia.

Not really outside the window, it was taken standing outside the the front door. I took it a few weeks ago. If it was taken today you wouldn't get a glimpse of green, since everything's dried up with the 40C+ temperatures and all.

Failland-fag here:

I still don't get why we have to still keep Åland. It's just a waste of resources for us. Why can't we just give it to swedes or russians allready?

I envy all you people with snow. It's scorching down here in Melbourne, like >>107798 said.

>>107801
You wouldn't say that if you were over here freezing your extremities clean off. Always greener, eh?

>>107803
Well I'd rather be in very cold temperatures than very hot temperatures, because in cold you can get warmer by wearing lots of layers and using a heater or fire. When it's boiling like it's been in south-east Australia for the past 2 weeks, you can sit there naked and still be sweating your balls off.

Its to dark out so have a old pic

>>102890

I laughed little when I saw that building.

>>106623

Fuck. Reminds me of Failland/Finland. Just so damn depressing.
