Stereotypical pics of your region
You know what I mean, everyone in Paris rides a bike, wears a beret and carries garlic round their shoulders.
Just had an idea... Welcome to Europe!: (Strasbourg cathedral)  another place that strikes me, all these pics come from the same city Bern in Switzerland:     ... i still think Strasbourg is the one though, as far as stereotypes go it hits every nail away from the reality  .

nice selection raggedy. those stereotypes are pretty accurate though!
CANADA: west coast (mountains and ocean)  the prairies (3,000 miles of flyover!  ) toronto, everyone knows the CN tower... [img]http://www.*******************/north-america/canada/images/s/canada-cn-tower.jpg[/img] then some french stuff, don't know what's the stereotypical montreal/QC piture. i'm guessing the stereotype for canada as a whole would be something like lake louise, pristine nature or something ...?

I think in the UK many people see us as snoby stuck up people that either play golf, or rugby whilst drinking tea and disscusing polotics. Well the truth is far off, in the main city areas and in large towns we are either stuck with this...
The Chav   Or this... The Emo   Both of these people are always looking for a fight in there own way, Chavs by being themselves and destroying everything in there path. And Emos by vandalising grave yards and cutting there own wrists for fun

Cali, Colombia:
These are some of the stereotypical pics of the city (commonly photographed): The financial skyline in the north (there's a residential skyline in the south):  The Cali tower (tallest in the city with 42 stories):  One of the city's soccer/football stadiums (the other one is almost finished):  Panamerican venue (where the 1971 panamerican games took place):
