And for newbies, here are the rules from the original thread:

1. Maximum two images per forumer per day.
2. No offensive pictures.
3. The photos should have an urban character. That means preferably not pictures of your dog, or your last mountainclimb.
4. The photos must be taken by you.
5. You are encouraged to describe where and when it was taken, but this is not necessary.
6. Apart from this, they can be from anywhere in the world!

@Janis_LV: Great shot. Did you take it? Btw I've been in that "mill". ;)

Not my pics, but they are with author's permit put here.

Strange, because it was already told to you that only pictures made by you can be posted.

Janis_LV - the picture should be taken by you!!!
Today from me - two very different places of Riga:
First - guards at Riga Castle, 31st December 2004:
http://img132.exs.cx/img132/1161/rigaspilssargi31dec049cv.jpg
Second - one of faraway secondary centres of Riga. This is Sarkandaugava some 7 km to the north from the centre. It has got some 300 Art Nouveau and Ecclecticism buildings - most are simple but some are very ornate. Street network has not changed over the last two centuries. Unfortunately these smaller "centres" still are very poor. Simanja Street last summer.
http://img132.exs.cx/img132/8301/simanjaiela16mai045bx.jpg

@Gatis: Your last picture is just great - those buildings and people "in action" between them look very nice and very "real". Big contrast between that old wooden building and green tree in the background looks very nice too. :okay:

Thanks, Edd! Btw... all the people in picture looked quite khm "rundown", when they approached... Depressive place. Will look over the pictures from last summer - there are bits of everything all over the city

Actually I like that area, for me it is not depressing at all. :) I even think that it has some unique, nice atmosphere. For me the most depressing place should be the area with big, grey, neglected commie buildings and no greenery around.

Great concert picture, those conditions are helluva hard for taking pictures, but that's excellent, especially the timing AND composition.

soviet magic! :( Great pic still

By the way, it should be possible to take kinda same picture of TV tower with commies in Tallinn also(Teletorn above Lasnamae commies) ;) .Great shot Mantaz, sky is great on that pic.

Such a shame what the Russians have done to Vyborg. It was Finland's most international city ! :( :( :( :(

Nice pic though ! ;)

Yeah, second largest and most international and beautiful. Maybe we could sometimes make new Vyborg thread, or smthng..

^^ahh i used to hate these trolleys! :D
fortunately now we have supercool modern ones! with tv's and stuff! :D

well we also have tv's - actually pIII pcs in our old cool Tatra trams ;D

And i thought those old trolleys are no longer in service :)

It was my last day in Vilnius and when that old one appeared behind the corner, I was almost sure that next time when I'm in Vilnius, there will not be those old ones - so I thought it was my last chance and I took my camera as quickly I could and took that pic. :)

^^ahh i used to hate these trolleys! :D

It's nostalgy! :D

They look a lot like the Hare Krishna-sect. Hare Krishna is weird western version of Hinduism, not Buddism.

funny thing about IT industry. In CIA world factbook Information technology is marked as 1 of our industries... i dont see that for Finland nor Lithuania :P

I don't see IT as no.1 industry that country should have or be proud of. As for IT in Lithuania, you can see that computers are produced here :eat:

For comparison, Lithuanian industries
metal-cutting machine tools, electric motors, television sets, refrigerators and freezers, petroleum refining, shipbuilding (small ships), furniture making, textiles, food processing, fertilizers, agricultural machinery, optical equipment, electronic components, computers, amber

Estonian industries
engineering, electronics, wood and wood products, textile; information technology, telecommunications

Acording to CIA factbook, the USA doesn't import oil either ;)

But this is urban photo thread. There has been enough of these discussions already.

@Artis, I looked your pictures of Istanbul in a4d.lv already. This was impressive - Turkish forumers show here some other Istanbul, not that one you showed.

This made me think - may be I am also showing some other Riga, not the real one???

^^ Well, in every city (especially of not really rich countries) you may show different things... and different things may be interesting and nice (at least for some openminded people)...
All you show in pictures is true somehow, but don't reflect the reality in its whole ever.

Western Tallinn... Highrise commies of Mustamäe and Õismäe in the background...
uh... Õismäe is actually cold Väike Õismäe, which means Little Õismäe, anyhow, it isnt just called little for no reason... there was plans for SUUR Õismäe.. meaning Big Õismäe... it would have been absolutely colossal... THank god that didnt happen...

It's the 30s exposure which "turns the water into ice". Quite nice efect, IMO. :)

Very good one! Because the wind and long exposure, those trees are quite hmm.. interesting. ;)

Trees look interesting indeed in that pic.

Ok, here`s my attempt to make a night shot...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v708/SanderZro/Other/kirik.jpg

What settings did you use sander?

Wow ch1le! Something different from you this time - a park (?) scene. Very nice one.

Ah, Moolio, ch1le has taken quite a few nature shots of late, and very beautiful ones at that. :okay:

I know, he recently bought the same camera that I have. Unfortunately my EF-S 18-55 mm lens has been getting fixed, so I haven't been able to take shots lately. :( I'll get it back by tuesday.

thanks for the comments... the picture is taken at the Danish Kings Garden, I had the pleasure of drinking beer with some dear fellow forumers at a bar next to it ;)

What settings did you use sander? Flash off. Night mode. Focal length: 5.8mm. Exposure time: 2.000 s. Aperture: f/2.9. ISO equiv.: 232.

Very nice, Jape! That's one of the best photos I have seen taken by you (not to imply anything :D).

Jape totally awesome photo

Thanks. :) But it's not BW because BW fits so well to it, but because I totally failed with color balance.. ;) I don't like it so much, so some day I will take a photo with (almost) similar composition, but when sun sets to make better colors.

Here's a photo, taken from same place with my Canon EOS 300D DSLR - too bad I don't have zoom in it (the last one was taken with Nikon Coolpix 4800 - 36-300mm tele).

I thought kreuzberg was a commieblock-ghetto kind of-area?

No, just in the western part of Kreuzberg you can find some commieblocks.

Anyway, Kreuzberg is very dense, a lot of immigrants live there(especially turks) and you can find this buildings I posted in my last post(called Altbauwohnungen) everywhere in Kreuzberg.

Berlin really looks awesome, gotta check out the German parts of the forum for more pics :)

I'm not sure if this counts as an urban picture, but it's pretty cool that the Copenhagen city hall tower and one of the Radisson SAS hotel highrises are visible between the two CPH airport hangars. :)
http://images1.jetphotos.net/images/h/HS-TGZ.jpg.54035.jpg
THAI's new livery isn't bad either. ;)

/\ is that your pic?

/\ wow, that's a livery i havent seen!

/\ is that your pic?
No, I'm not Anders Olsen. :) I found it over at www.jetphotos.net.

Sideshow_Bob,

THAI are repainting their planes and it won't be long until all 744:s that come to CPH and ARN are in this livery. I've spotted the new tails more and more from my commuter trains in the mornings (the trains pass CPH airport, just to the right of the hangars in the photo, and the aircraft tails are visible from there). :)

/\you are only supposed to post your own photos here...

Moolio,

What lens? It's been a while since I saw your photos... nice comeback. ;)

Moolio,

What lens? It's been a while since I saw your photos... nice comeback. ;)

It's the EF-S 18-55mm kit lens. ;) My friend used a 70mm lens with his D70, and his photos turned out a lot better. 55mm simply isn't enough for distances like that especially in noctural photos. They become all fuzzy like this.

its a okay photo :)
is that friend Toni ;)

i dont think its toni's photo.... it just doesnt look like his style

/\ nah, its moolios photo, but he mentioned "a friend" ;)
