[Discovery / Photos] Where do I come from ?

[guyabano]

Hello,

an boardmember which I really appreciate now (after some starting querels) give me a good hint to share one of my hobbies on this board: Photography!
I enjoy taking my camera everywhere we go, and I always come back home with loads of new pics. Some are snapshots but some are also very expressive.

Let me take you to a tour from the place I live. Let's see who find out.

Streetmarket in the city


another view of a neat place where this market is held. It is called 'Place d'armes' (could be translated as Armory Place)


Needless to say, if is Fallseason based upon the color of the leaves on trees

Since our country is very small, this is the parliament where the goverment reside. This statue is front represent a great leader of our country in 2nd World war. Let's see who knows history and find out who I talk about.

Souvenir shop of a local theme park. The icon of the park is also the name of it. I think, some will recognize this kangoroo !


A gentle ride for kids. Nahhhh, nothing for boys. What boy like to ride in a pink teacup, even though, there is one ??

Our country is also called 'Gibraltar of the north'. There are lots of huge medieval fortresses and one of the famous architects of those where 'Vauban' (but not this one).


now who recognize this? It's not my homecountry, but just neighbour country !


one of the four pillars of the Eiffel Tour so you get an idea, how huge it is

or is it austria.

[guyabano]

or is it austria.

holland has no castles !
Austria neither !

Come on people, I gave you really good keywords, plus you can see the flag, red/white/blue, and plus the fortress architect 'Vauban' and the lady statue !
These are really good keywords

[Ummu Sufyaan]

according to my research, you live in luxenburg city.

[Malaikah]

It is gorgeous!!!!!!!! Mashaallah, thanks so much for sharing!

I reckon it is Luxembourg too... and no wonder it looks so well developed too!

[Woodrow]

The flags in front of the Parliament building are Luxembourg, plus the nickname of Luxembourg is "Gibraltar of the North" so I also guess Luxembourg.

[guyabano]

oh well, right ! I know it's a very unimportant country, but at least, we live peaceful . Thank you for showing some interest
