Where I live.

[reptileparadise]

I guess it will be quite difficult for some to take a picture of their neighbourhood...an example...this is where I live...not really a street or anything...

[Stefan-A]

Of course Google Earth didn't have accurate enough shots of my neighborhood(s). :rolleyes:


So I threw together a quick 360 montage of where I study, taken from the exact spot where I found the toad last night.
That's my school (about half a dozen buildings) on the other side of the fence, that's my car and the house in the last two shots is where I live 5 days a week.

[adamanteus]

So that's a good "all round" view of where you spend your time!:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

I like to consider it my own personal limbo. :D

Fortunately, I'll only be living there for another 3 or 4 weeks. :)

[adamanteus]

Hi All, I've started this thread on the suggestion of a couple of other members. It's a chance to show us all where you live! I have moved one or two posts from another thread, just to kick things off a bit.:)

[abcat1993]

Does anybody know how to take pictures of the screen on your Microsoft computer?

[Stefan-A]

Alt + Print Screen (Prt Scr) does the job. Then just choose Paste in whatever program you use to edit pictures.

[abcat1993]

OK, I'll take a picture on google earth later since my comp has issues. There aren't any real pictures of it, but here it is Winnetka, Illinois - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnetka%2C_Illinois)

this is what I see from the front door

and this is what we see from most of our windows

all this will change in a couple of months

[adamanteus]

This is my house, taken from Google Earth.

[adamanteus]

And this is my building site, where I am working at the moment.

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//537/medium/Site.jpg

[drache]

what kind of building will it be, James?
it looks like there is a lot of development going on in that area

[adamanteus]

This site is a large school and a small housing estate. I'll be on this one for another couple of years.

[infernalis]

Here is another really good thread that "died" come on let's wake it back up.

I have some nice photos taken from airplanes, I'll put them up soon.

Here is an old one, before I built the race track. The coloured lines represent where the tracks are now. The field is where we are holding the world meeting.

If you look close, there are paths around the place, long before the tracks were built.

[reptile3]

Nice place Stephanie.

thanks, we have a nice HUGE sink hole in the front yard, going to work on it in the Spring this year!

[Snake lover 3-25]

wayne which one's your house???

[infernalis]

Here it is again.... The "tax map" view, all the green part is my land, and where we shall gather in July:D

The satellite picture is only part of it, I still keep going after the creek that is not shown in the top photo.

The neighbor with the wraparound driveway is the biggest pest I know, and I own half of that driveway.

And this picture shows (the big circle) where I find a lot of garter snakes. The Barn and camper are mine too.

Sometimes here.



http://koti.mbnet.fi/thamnoph/photos/chrono/weeks.jpg

Sometimes there.


Occasionally in these two locations:
http://koti.mbnet.fi/thamnoph/photos/chrono/sometimes1.jpg

http://koti.mbnet.fi/thamnoph/photos/chrono/sometimes2.jpg



And in the summer usually in either of these locations.

Hmm, your summer home looks like hell, Stefan!:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

Hmm, your summer home looks like hell, Stefan!:rolleyes:
Bah.

Red dots: Spots where Vipera berus are sighted semiregularly, green dots: Natrix natrix.

http://koti.mbnet.fi/thamnoph/photos/chrono/summers1-snakes.jpg

http://koti.mbnet.fi/thamnoph/photos/chrono/summers2-snakes.jpg

Blue areas: good fishing spots.

http://koti.mbnet.fi/thamnoph/photos/chrono/summers1-fish.jpg

http://koti.mbnet.fi/thamnoph/photos/chrono/summers2-fish.jpg

[infernalis]

I'd love it there.

[Sid]

Here's where I call home.

[infernalis]

What species of fish Stefan?

[Stefan-A]

What species of fish Stefan?
Pike and perch. It's basically all I try to catch.

[adamanteus]

That'a a lot of red Vipera berus spots, Stefan.... can I summer with you this year?:D;):rolleyes:

[infernalis]

Perch are great eating and Pike are great fighters.

My daughter owns the family cottage, we have those, musky and bass as well.

[Stefan-A]

That'a a lot of red Vipera berus spots, Stefan.... can I summer with you this year?:D;):rolleyes:
Well, I have been visiting those spots regularly for the last 30 years. :D The sightings accumulate. ;)

It seems that we're going to have a couple of mild winters in a row and to top it off, last year was great vole year.

[Stefan-A]

Perch are great eating and Pike are great fighters.

With ultralight gear, both are great fighters. :D

[infernalis]

With ultralight gear, both are great fighters. :D


Ever seen one of those diawa mini rigs, the one that only takes like 4-6 lb test line?

I think mine is still in the basement of the cottage, with one of those, even a bluegill seems like a big pike.

With all the google earth going on, try "Waneta Lake" in New York

[Stefan-A]

Ever seen one of those diawa mini rigs, the one that only takes like 4-6 lb test line?
I have seen a lot of small ones, but the one I use for perch uses a 0.20 mm line (we usually go by diameter rather than strength), about twice as strong as that line.

[reptile3]

Sid I think I see you waving...LOL love the green grass... we don't have that here!


Here's where I call home.
http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/105_Robin_Cir_Starr_SC.jpg

[infernalis]

after much fiddling around, I got these from google earth tonight.

My facility shows up nice. I drew in property lines to give you an idea of what we have available for the world meeting.

And the tax map again for camparison.

[Snake lover 3-25]

wow wayne lol you have a wierd yard t's very interestingly shaped:p

[ssssnakeluvr]

here's my yard....we have since removed the large red x from the back yard.....:rolleyes:

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//504/medium/myhome2.jpg

[infernalis]

wow Wayne lol you have a weird yard it's very interestingly shaped:p


OK Shanley, Here's why...

The original owner gave her son a small lot to put a house on (Purple) then when she sold it to my grandparents she gave her son some extra land first(light blue) and then cut a 3 acre lot off for herself(yellow)

Then after 2 years she sold the yellow lot (wish I could get it back). The couple who own the yellow lot have been trying for six years to shut down my track. They don't seem to care much for the noise:rolleyes:

I will say this much, the bigger part behind the house is my favourite place on earth, I want my ashes spread out there when I'm gone.

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/map11.jpg

[mtolypetsupply]

Hmm, your summer home looks like hell, Stefan!:rolleyes:

No, this is hell...

toms river, nj - Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=toms+river,+nj&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=46.898798,77.519531&ie=UTF8&ll=39.954293,-74.140077&spn=0.021515,0.037851&t=h&z=15&iwloc=addr)

okay, not hell, but I have to say there are way too many people here for me. Wayne, if I make it to the meeting, I may not leave. How much to rent a tent site year round????

[infernalis]

Wayne, if I make it to the meeting, I may not leave. How much to rent a tent site year round????

A never ending supply of pinkies, and you got a deal.:D

[Snake lover 3-25]

aaa ok i see lol so it all used to be one huge lot!!!!

[infernalis]

Yep, Well I am appreciative that I get the biggest chunk of it ever.:D

It's like my own little country, (Psst. the missile silo is in the side of the mountain)

[reptile3]

I like lots of land... when I lived with my grandparents, they had about as much as you have. It was nice!!!

[infernalis]

Grandparents left it to mom, Sadly mom passed at the ripe young age of 62, this was not supposed to be mine for about 20 more years.

Stephanie, You have a very spacious yard of your own right now.

Wayne, I will pm you my number, can you do the google earth for me?

The marker it puts is like I live in the street..LOL but you will see on the left my house.

we won't tell anyone....:rolleyes:

[infernalis]

Having fun with google earth. Here is the summer home, Now my daughter's primary residence. Notice the huge willow trees hanging over the beach. (The monster estate next door is a million dollar home, The owner rents out rooms for several hundred a week)

http://www.danceswithreptiles.com/cars/cottage_1.jpg

Now the whole lake, this is where I water ski....

http://www.danceswithreptiles.com/cars/wlake.jpg

now for my fellow angler Stefan, A couple of my favourite fishing spots.

The island is easy to get to in a canoe...(James:D)

http://www.danceswithreptiles.com/cars/red_bank.jpg

The fishing is excellent in the canal and the cove at the mouth, weed beds are quite thick so predators hang and wait to ambush prey.

http://www.danceswithreptiles.com/cars/fishing.jpg

[Zephyr]

Hmm... Could some one do the google Earth for me? :D

[infernalis]

Sure Kyle, PM me the info.

Or just go to google, type in google earth, download the free program and it's really easy.

[NetBSD]

everyone should have google earth just for the nights when ya get bored. ive been using it since it was beta and have yet to view 1/3 of the world, lol

[infernalis]

I only wish it could zoom in as close as the military can. It would be nice to see people in the yards.

When I try zooming in on my race track, the water tanks are specks.

For the curious, Just enter "Monterey, NY" 14812 it will take you right here. (Steve)

[infernalis]

per Kyle's request here is his 2 shots.

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/kyle2.jpgAt the top right of the photo, where you start to see a driveway, is my friend Gigi's house. Lots of snakies there. In the bottom right of the pic, on the upper side of the river is where I find butler's (just in that little corner) and on the lower side is eastern heaven all the way down to the next major road. :)

[reptile3]

Waves to Kyle...;)
