You guys are f--king impossible. :)

Forget I did it. ;) Move along, nothing to see here...

they all look the same. only london looks good and berlin.

Istanbul is not capital of Turkey. Sorry! :)

Beautiful idea and thread




But why did you put Kazahstan in Europe?

they all look the same. only london looks good and berlin.
What are you talking about? :weird:

Cool idea, and beautiful photos. Thanks!
But, I think some photos don't do the cities justice. They could be much better.

well not the same but vey similar. only albania picture and sarajevo were different. skopje too and istanbul and berlin and london. they were unique. most of them looked like they were in the same city.

^ Ahahaha, oh my God! I put Istanbul instead of Ankara... :D One moment...

Just a small mistake there. What you have as Andorra la Vella is actually Pas de la Casa, a town near the French border. I was there a month ago.. ;)

Nice thread!

You know, it was labelled Pas de la Casa but I thought: How many cities could Andorra have? :D

I'll fix it.

But why did you put Kazahstan in Europe?

Wikipedia did it, not me. :D

Woooooooooooooooooooowwww Andora La Velle is ugly as hell :puke:

If Prnjavor became a city state it would be a finer capital.

You forgot Vatican City!

You forgot Vatican City!

I didn't forget it. The CIA World Factbook didn't have a little flag for Vatican City so I didn't add it. :D

You know, it was labelled Pas de la Casa but I thought: How many cities could Andorra have? :D

I'll fix it.
I know, hehe, but they have a few. I was in 5 or so myself, but there are more. Andorra isn't as small as one might think..

^ ohhhhh ok, that makes a lot more sense.

Vatican city, Vatican

they all look the same. only london looks good and berlin.I agree with you. Sometimes I watched pictures what she post here, and I must say, she is expert to post or to made bad pictures.

Very often she posted pictures from Bosnia and Herzegovina and if I don't know how that country look like according to pictures posted by Sarajka I will say Bosnia is so ugly.

Just look photo from Paris? It is really art to found on net so ugly picture of the city like Paris or some other cities presented here by Sarajka.

I find the Sarajevo picture ugly..bad colours and position.
The Moldova one:puke:
But the rest are great photos :okay:

^ Hehehe, yeah it's a big conspiracy.

I actually believe that if I find a picture of Paris ugly enough, everyone who views this thread will think Sarajevo is more beautiful, larger, and historically important. :)

Actually I tried to find weird, unusual views of the cities everyone already knows - like Paris, but also including Berlin, Moscow, Madrid, Prague, etc, etc, etc. It would've been the same for London but I was so exhausted after 2 hours of finding European capitals that I just took the first 800x + photo that I could find.

well if this is Europe, I'm a cosmonaut

I find the Sarajevo picture ugly..bad colours and position.
The Moldova one:puke:
But the rest are great photos :okay:I find almost every Sarajevo pictures what she posted so ugly with bad quality, colours and positions in general very ugly pictures.

^ Well I'm sorry I don't have any photos of steeples at sunset and WELCOME TO CAPAJEBO signs. ;) But I love Sarajevo as it is.

sorry to criticize. thanks for the pictures and you worked so hard on it too.

Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armienia and Azerbijan doesnt belong to Europe.

But I love Sarajevo as it is.Are you sure that you love Sarajevo like it is or just you have so bad taste?

Well, do better or shut up. :)

Wrong thread. :D

Are you sure that you love Sarajevo like it is or just you have so bad taste?

Take it easy =|

Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armienia and Azerbijan doesnt belong to Europe.

Thank you oh Euromaster Maciekwr for singlehandedly deciding on and enlightening us as to the boundaries of an entire continent. :yes:

Beautiful thread,but some countries don't belong to Europe!:Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbijan!

Beautiful thread,but some countries don't belong to Europe!:Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbijan!
Heh, I agree with you, but the boundaries of Europe are very elastic, so I guess it's okay to include them too.

I’m not too happy with the Sarajevo picture. I think there are many better ones especially that have the Old Town in them. It really is an interesting thread nonetheless. :yes:

Beautiful thread,but some countries don't belong to Europe!:Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbijan!

You know that this is a discussion that has occupied many threads before. It's a matter of opinion.

But take a look at the member states of the OSCE, the in fact only pan-european organization we have... who do we see as members??? Exactly..

Great pictures:)
I see as Georgia and those other countries as belonging in Europe....like some people will say that Turkey doesn't belong to Europe, but then why is Southern Cyprus in the EU?

they are not in Europe. Politicaly and economically.

Nice idea. Interesting pics. Every city is so distinct one from another, barely any similarities. Just shows how interesting Europe is.

And Kazakhstan is not in Europe, there's no argument. Others are debateable.

How about the Council of Europe?

Agree :cheers:

Same story... only country not in the COE is Belarus.

What happened to Brussels ? Power-station damage ? They should turn off this ugly blue lighting first.

they are not in Europe. Politicaly and economically.

I get so tired of this :sleepy: ......


@Sarajka: Don't you think it's a bit sad for the Albanians to choose that picture for Tirana?

@all the others: Please, of course, there is always a better picture to represent you city, but there are more threads than just this one

whats up with the albanian photo. did sarajka and myzeqari get into a fight.

http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/8712/14zw.jpg


oh..I can see a lot of skyscrapers here!

I think someones jealous.... :)

Even though I think there are pictures of Madrid which represents better the city, I just love the idea of this thread!

Thanks Sarajka for making the effort of gathering and sharing unusual pics of every single European capital city. Sensational indeed! :)

oh..I can see a lot of skyscrapers here!It is nice picture and nice objects to make fun with them? You are family to Berlusconi?

The odessy continues. Now the photo of Turkey's capital actually shows Turkey's capital. :) I went from Istanbul, to some village in Ankara province, to - finally - Ankara itself. :D Thanks for the help, System_Halted.

And thanks for the support, guys! :D Viva Real Madrid! :D

why such bad picture of albania. what did myzeqari do sarajka.

^ No need to talk about that. I'll fix it for you. :)

Men it's capital of EU. I should be proud of it :) .

thanks for the pics. i finally got to see what the smaller countries capitols look like.

interesting thread.

Very interesting, well done. :okay:

Armenia is not in Europe and same goes for Cyprus.
Cyprus is in Asia, the only reason they include it as european is because of the greeks there but Cyprus is deffinitely not Europe and the capital looks very ugly.

Skopje, Macedonia

Correction: Skopje, FYROM

Cool thread.. I'm a sucker for this kind of overview stuff.

Here some comments though:

I would try to finde more characteristic pics for:

Vienna: although it's a typical example of what is to be found in the city, maybe an overview pic would be better.
Minsk: It's a great pic, but I think it shows a way to small side of the city; I don't have the impression that Minsk is all that cute-scandinavian like.
Budapest: Definaly. I would post a pic showing the Danube, and the impressivness of the city.
Reykjavik: I don't know the city, nor am I attracted by anything above the line Hungary-Croatia-Italy-Spain :), but I assume Reykjavik has more? Or am I mistaking.. :s I dunno. :)
Rome: Nice, but could do better.
Chisinau: Every city can be shown from that perspective.. why didn't you post a pic of a Parisian ban-lieu? So to be fair, I would find another pic. (not that it will make a big difference I'm afraid, but still.. ;) )
Bucharest: Also, can do better I think. Not better in the 'nicer'-sense, but I think a pic can be found that shows the city more accurately.
Belgrade: Nice, but can do better.
Kyiv: I've seen far better pics of that square. :)

By this point, you are thinking "WTF.. why didn't you make the thread yourself then". ;)

^ No, I'm thinking...

The whole purpose was just to show a little bit of every capital city in Europe, not the best picture of each, it's not possible. :)

I, for example, love the photo of Sarajevo, but I'm the only one who's mentioned it that does. ;) You'll never get anyone to agree.

I also had to find pictures that were, or could be resized to be, 800x600 horizontal, to keep everything neat and pretty.

My specific rebuttals... :D LOL

Vienna: Everyone already knows what Vienna looks like, so I decided to show one specific part of it.

Minsk: It's a picture of the Old Town, everything else is commieblocks.

Budapest: Everyone has seen that angle, with the river and the parliament; this is something a little different. :D

Reykjavik: Who cares? :D

Rome: I love this picture. :)

Chisinau: You try finding a picture of Chisinau. LOL

Bucharest: I agree, it's a horrible picture but it is of the main bldg in the center of downtown.

Belgrade: Whatever. It's a fine picture. :)

Kyiv: Yes, but this is taken during the celebration. :D

Armenia is not in Europe and same goes for Cyprus.
Cyprus is in Asia, the only reason they include it as european is because of the greeks there but Cyprus is deffinitely not Europe and the capital looks very ugly.

:blahblah: I am not going into the debate of 'Is Cyprus european', but your bashing of greece/greeks is getting really boring. :down:

what the heck!! Ankara is not in Europe!

Chisinau: You try finding a picture of Chisinau. LOL

Bucharest: I agree, it's a horrible picture but it is of the main bldg in the center of downtown.

I can find a better one of these two if you want.

Also there a lot of commie-block less pictures of Minsk. What are you talking about?

There fixed. ;)

Enjoy.

What bs; I was just trying to help with the Moldova and Bucharest pictures.

PLEASE PUT IT BACK; I BEG YOU

^ It's not just you, Pen. Just about everyone was bitching about something. And I didn't save the pics - there's no way to get it back without doing it again and it took hours the last time so...twice, no. :D

But I would put it back for you, if I could, I promise.

:( O well. Maybe I'll make a thread for it as a continuation

Mila....
For what it's worth - thanks for a nice thread!
I personally don't see anything wrong with it (WTF ppl?)

appreciate the alternative selection of pics - I mean everyone could post Eifel, Brundestag, etc. etc. etc. and get away with the conformity, but not you, noooo...
Which is a good thing - Thanks ;)

I'm kinda surprised at the responses - again - WTF PPL???

Hey, thanks. :D

You made me feel a little less like an alien. :D I thought - what, NO ONE gets it?

I can understand why you took the pictures down, but it's still a pity. It was a great thread, I think.
