Holy crap it’s really coming down now…

I think I’m gonna call a cab.

I am going to have to visit finland someday. Those trees are beautiful. We do not have trees like that here. They’re all short and shrubby.

[ODaily]

You’re not (too) far from the forest. I’m in SW Arkansas.
Best pic I’ve got right now.

And yeah, I’m originally from Kansas so I definitely feel ya.
Although, on the flip side, the deer here are tiny poorly fed things, comparatively speaking.

[ThePolishedTurd]

I’ve been out to Arkansas before the trees and hills there are very nice. I’m out in west/central Texas so its mostly grasslands here. Bonus is I get to stare at the windmills pretty much anytime I want. They’re pretty neat to watch at night. Its like a bunch of UFOs just blinking away in the skyline.

[ODaily]

I miss the prairie skies. This used to be my view out the front door.

My family still lives there, and there’s one place where I can stand and see windmills in 3 different counties.

Seattle is a great mix of evergreen and deciduous

@amal

Seattle

Seattle is in Japan …

[amal]

No, just a little bit of Japan in Seattle

[NoUsersLefft]

Middle of Nowhere Tennessee has its moments (some from home some from elsewhere)

[Zwack]

The Oregon Coast has it’s moments.

This last one was taken when a wildfire was just a few miles away. The north end of town was evacuated, and we were in the “be ready to go at a moment’s notice” area.

[Coma]

Germany has it’s moments…

(I’m a very lucky person, living a short walk from a nature reserve - I just love that forest)

[miststlkr]

Vancouver is very similar to Seattle, but with healthcare.

Just cause we are showing locations. I genuinely feel Afghanistan is a gloriously beautiful place.

Edit to add: I don’t speak shit for Dari or Pashtun, but the card game Hearts is a universal language. I sat on that roof top behind me, for a few nights, just playing the game hearts with the afghan soldiers, and drinking tea.

I’ve always wanted to play with a real SVD,
I hear the civvy remakes are garbage

[Backpackingvet]

I had the opportunity to shoot their RPG.

I was one of the few soldiers who tried to treat them like our own, and relate to them.

I was declined the authority to shoot the RPG, due to “their error rate”

I am 99% sure my commander was just jealous.

@Backpackingvet

Yea I don’t think I’d want to mess with those…

A nice newly manufactured one maybe, but I’ve know enough to steer clear personally

[Backpackingvet]

Eh, at the end of the day, I would either not care it malfunctioned, or I would be collecting that disability.

Either way I’d be alright.

[Eriequiet]

I’m fine with a lot of sketchy things, explosives not so much lol

Plus there’s sabotaged munitions floating around that was left to be salvaged,

My luck Id decide to try the frag, that was swapped with a smoke fuse

Not to mention, sometimes you get fucked up… but don’t get disability

Yeah I’m fine with real sketch things. No problem there. Prolly not the best for me.

@Eriequiet

Plus there’s sabotaged munitions floating around that was left to be salvaged,

Sure, but it was the same ones he had to shoot.

Fair, might not. But still.

Still would shoot it today. You make a great point, not trying to say there is no risk. I just don’t care that much about it malfunctioning
