Reminds me of Sacramento, California (except for the snow). A lot of historic (and historic-looking) buildings scattered about with the occasional tallish/modernish building spattered about looking kind of half-hearted and out of place. Sacto's not a bad place, but I don't think I'd want to live there…

The city has changed rapidly in the last few decades. Loads of historic buildings being taken down (and some VERY convenient fires if you follow me) to be replaced by modern stuff and even condos, something I wasn't expecting to see.

It's a pretty old city for North America actually. There's no grid, there was no long term planning and everything was designed for horses and carts on the left hand side and of course, somewhere along the way someone decided that everyone in the Americas was going to switch sides of the road. So getting around downtown is a nightmare, and makes me glad I'm mostly on foot when I'm in town.

not my pic here but EVERYONE captures this view or one from very near this spot; tourists, pro photographers, painters, everyone.

There's a thread of Belfast down the page somewhere, but I'll take a few more pics next time I leave my lolicon love cave here, let you see some other parts.

More P'yong... oops, England. I have difficulties telling them apart.

This one is very nice, I like the contrast. Where is it?

Not the person who posted it but TinEye brought me here:

Yea, further comparison makes it clear that it's Tokyo. Just that building is blocking out most of the Tokyo tower, and obv. it's heavily edited.

The ability for Tokyo Tower to be overshadowed by modern skyscrapers is why they're now building an even larger broadcast tower called the Tokyo Sky Tree. Wikipedia it. Haven't checked it out yet, but hoping to see it eventually.

Did see Tokyo Tower briefly. The earthquake last March somehow caused the top of the tower to get bent… you can see it if you look closely.

Anyone that's a bit of a train dork will enjoy watching this, a webcam in the Aizu-Wakamatsu Station.

Perhaps the most comical bit of the whole affair was; 'The council also disclosed that Hari had not returned the prize money he received of 2000 pounds.'

Because a weak apology solves it all!

I'm sorry, was anyone who's ever actually been to Dubai under the impression that it was anything but a shithole? It's not "hidden" at all. You can tell the first day off the plane that it's a seedy dictatorship and a fucking horrible place to live.

The media likes to focus on the 'playground for the rich' aspect rather than the cloying political fog.

This is awesome on so many levels.

can anyone give me sources on the original anime?

Pretty please?

I think they're just standalone images, the ones you highlighted.

I know for a fact >>909 is just a random picture of Hatsune Miku, and >>910 is actually done by an artist who is famous for doing a lot of these super high detail cityscapes. Reverse image search it and you'll probably find the guy's name.

Someone delete this faggotry.

why IS this entire thread in city? I thought it was disc.

>>981
No idea (not that it is much better either way...)

Photos like these are why I love this board. Their subject matter is perfectly ordinary - both of these are just unassuming normal streets that most people would just pass by without considering them photo-worthy - but in that manner, they capture the life of the city more accurately than opulent buildings or landmark bridges.

This and the previous are Itsukushima Shrine. As you can tell by the last photo, when the tide is down, people can walk up to it, and wedge coins in the cracks in the logs. Made of camphor wood, the current torii at the shrine has stood since 1875! No births or deaths are allowed near the shrine, in order to maintain it's purity.

>>966
My dad sent me a picture a while ago, which I'm too hungover to dig for at the moment sorry, of a Torii which was the only thing in it's immediate area to survive an atomic bomb attack and later the only thing in it's immediate area to survive the recent earthquake/tsunami.

I've become pretty atheist in my "old age" <cough> but stuff like that kinda makes me wonder a little.

About the power of the God-Emperor Hirohito? :p
