      One thing particular about this area is "the lake", which is about 4 miles west of my house.
      Lake Michigan.

      I could go 25-50-75 miles south, and the lake will still be to the west.
      I could go 25-50-100-150 miles to the north, and the lake will still be to the west.
      When standing along the shore, looking at the lake, it is as far as can see to the left, and as far as can see to the right, and cant see across to the other side (60-90 miles), the entire horizon, from left to right is all water, it might as well be an ocean, I know is not as big as an ocean, but standing there looking, it looks about the same.

      Not too many places, but are some where can get a somewhat unobstructed view.

          Having trouble with this one....I used one possible back in December for the "...show a bit of the personality of where you live" theme.
          Don't want to use it again.

          I know what I want to share...It's the thing I love the most about living here. Just can't seem to figure a way to get a bike involved in a photo.

              This is a "Landmark" right up the road from me, in the "BIG" town of Toto...

                Thanks Steve. It was challenging to get the light just at the right time so you can still see the bike and Sandia mountains but with most of the city lights on.

                That's on Route 66, or Central Ave, just as you come over the hill into town from the West.

                  I can ride out of my driveway and this is typical of what I see.

                    I have another picture in mind, but in the event I don't get to take it or it doesn't look right, I give you this entry of my bike plus others in front of West Virginia's infamous www.hillbillyhotdogs.com, which is 7 miles from my door. I've also left our mark there (see second and third photos).

                      Jan 5th, 2017 we drove all day through driving snow, to get to our new home in TN.
                      Two weeks latter, I was on a bike, 30 minutes from home, visiting Big Ridge State Park.
                      Warm weather riding in January...and great roads to boot.
                      This is from that day, January 18th at 12:15pm.

                        I almost took a pass this week. I have no good pictures of my bike in my hometown and when I go out I leave it as quickly as possible.
                        But we (the family) do like to spend the occasional summer evening at the beach, thought Asbury is not our default spot.

                        Sunrise at Asbury Park. In the last decade or so the town has gone thru quite a comeback, and is now a popular spot. Going into detail is not the realm of this thread, but interesting history reading.

                        Convention Hall is the building in the background .
