Creative People and Their Cities

I wrote a post last month called "My New Favorite Web Site." It was basically dedicated to a refreshing Web site that features photographs from people all over the world. The creator of the site has friendly competitions, and February's competition theme was "My City." Some really great images came from that theme, I thought. I've pasted my favorite pictures below, but you should really look at the others on the site. (You'll have to click on the "next" link in the top right corner of the post to view each image.)

Not everyone wrote the name of their city, which frustrates me to no end. Consequently, I don't know where all of these pictures were taken. So if you know the places, leave a comment!

One more thing: I've included the winning photo in here. See if you can guess it!

San Francisco

Saint-Savin, France


Montreal


Machu Picchu, Peru


New York City


Absolutely no idea

Somewhere in Connecticut


Cuenca, Ecuador


Paris


Paris


Again, no idea


Can you spot the winner? Incidentally, it was also my favorite. It's the 2nd Paris picture -- the one with the gargoyle in the foreground. I don't know how these photos were judged, but if I find out, I'll let you know.


Thing I'm thankful for: Our beautiful, beautiful world.
