Only in...California

fuent104 · 07-23-2011, 12:06 AM

I'd like to see some photos that could only happen in one specific place (or type of place). For example, I've never seen this in a state other than CA. Of course, I've never lived anywhere with bamboo trees, but you get what I mean. What could only happen wherever you are?

Hey that happens a lot in Mexico! haha I've had to chop down several maguey leaves at my parent's house because of it. Next time I'll post a picture to show.

Happens here in Sydney too

I took a photo of it, but it's not as pretty as yours.

I don't know if outhouse races on frozen lakes in winter go on elsewhere but are a popular "sport" at Adirondack winter carnivals in northern NY.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad you like the shot.

That is hilarious!

Interesting challenge. I may have to think about this and venture out into the heat.

Well, I guess when it cools down a bit I could go take some pics of the crocodiles and the alligators sharing space behind our library. Then again I could just take some pics of the snowbirds when they come back to town. Old folks in some amazingly skimpy bathing suits in sub 40 degree weather sunning themselves like it was 85 degrees outside that's pretty odd no matter which way you look at it!

Only in Loretta Kentucky will you find a small fortune in prime Bourbon, Maker's Mark Whiskey aging in oak barrels.

Awesome. Way to get into the spirit.

Only in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka or Fukuoka, Japan, during a Grand Sumo Tournament. The banners are displayed outside the arena during the 15 days of the tourney.

Shouldn't this thread be in the Mini-Challenges or some such area?

daacon · 08-02-2011, 02:29 PM

It probably should be moved but I'll play here for now ...

Only in the Great White North (well not really - but hey it's my first entry)
