Hello Stillwater, an enjoyable short flight and flying over all those islands offers great sights too. I can see myself flying this sector more often too.
Regards, Herman
Absolutely. Be it real or virtual!

That feels a lot like Victoria, BC, but I have not seen it before.

Fantastic shots from your holiday, Rodger. The scenery looks great and the trees are a real teaser!

Let me guess… American west coast, but not California?

Happy Birthday guys. I am sure John reads this and celebrates, but I don’t know if @Jarrad Marshall is ever visiting this forum nowadays.

larger cities in Germany are becoming increasingly unsafe
Maybe we should comment this for the international readers: This is a relative statement, not easy to compare with other contries, continents - or just other places.
I do not like all those people I see around some places, but I do not see a negative development over the decades - and I will not set it in relation to really unsafe places.

One comment: We were standing in front of the (closed) Civic Theatre. As we began to feel sad, because we will probably not return again, a guide cam from the inside. He told us that there would be a private event, but if we were quiet he could guide us through the (famous) foyer. Where he gave us loads of nice stories and information. Great!

Total guess, but going New Zealand - Auckland Landmarks.
Aaaah, I feared it: Tooo easy 😞 As I said, pictures are either iconic (like the Civic Theatre) or totally unknown.
Now it is, again, up to @paulk to make it more difficult!

someone else wants to give us something go ahead.
Just as to fill the time... I´ll jump in. But if you find some, you are welcome to take your turn at anytime, Larry!
Having Orbx city sceneries (only Orbx, no 3rd party!) on the menu opens up the choice quite a bit. The trouble is: The pictures are either iconic (easy to guess), or totally remote. Let´s see how fast you can allocate these...:

Great post, and indeed this is a way dramatic movies from the 60s may start...

my pre-retirement at the age of 57. Since only 2 weeks moved with my wife and dog(Tequila) more inland to a smaller town(20000 inh). Now comfortable in a pretty large flat with 2 terrasses and my own place for virtual flying and other PC-things.
That sounds really good, Johny. From the pre-retirement (I wish we had such) to your home and your dog. Really good...
I just imagine you enter a bar, the dog misbehaves and you shout his name...

I knew this is going to be a hot topic, and the posts above show that. I would not like to turn it into a "city versus land" discussion, but I can just remark: We live in a quiet place, where often the birds make the biggest noise around sunset and sunrise (while we are sitting with a glass of something on the balcony, I mean in the evenings).
In a circle of about 500 m we have all kinds of doctors, a hospital, numerous pharmacies, 5 supermarkets, dozens of restaurants of all kinds, 5 bookshops 2 childrens playgrounds, 3 schools (all levels). I join the above comments: We (nearly) never go to the city center - why should we, everything is here.
Our kids always had their friends or party locations in handy distance, either walking or by bike.
We commute to work via bike through the main railway station, which is a 5 min ride (or 20 min walk) away, though I had to use the subway (2 stations) yesterday because of rain. And this railway station has a high speed train (ok, German speed) connection directly in all 4 directions: Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Munich. Around the station we have numerous cimenas, theatres and the opera. In addition, the airport is a 15 Min taxi ride away. Before Covid I left home 60 Minutes before takeoff, but now the processes in airports are much slower.
I think we have the best of all worlds. Others think the same in a different setting. So there can not be final judgements, just observation reports in this thread.

A good initiative, Franco - I would love more liveries for the Blackwing.
