Hey you, where do you live?
Lunchbox:
I live in a new house in an old neighbourhood right across the water from a pretty, gritty city.
We're so close that I leave home at 8:20, I catch a bus to get to work by 8:30. I'm always late anyway. I blame the buses.
I spend 5 days a week in a tall, tall building surrounded by other tall, tall buildings and with the rush of commuters and tourists along every footpath.
It's kind of a relief to get home to my rickety tree-lined street.
Across the road from our house, where I catch the bus in the mornings, is a huge old abandoned power station. It looks amazing. Every day I try and figure out how to get in there without getting caught, every night I am terrified by its danger and loneliness...
and wonder what it would be like to climb one of those chimneys, what it would be like to fall from one.
On the weekends we go for long walks to undiscovered streets, houses old and new, all beautiful no matter their state.
Sometimes we venture a little further.
Sometimes I miss my hometown, all grass and cows and long-limbed eucalypts. But I can still find green places here. I just have to look.
In the end I love my adopted home, with all of its beautiful grandeur...
... quirky surprises...
...and so many exciting secrets.

Wait dude I thought that was like a summer thing? Now I'm double jealous because you live there all the time? (edit: this a response to SWM, Lunch was too fast)
Behind my flat is Greyfrairs Kirkyard which is the graveyard where Greyfrairs' Bobby sat on his owner's grave until he died waiting for his owner to come back. This story inspired the saddest Futurama (or even TV) episode of all time. It's also the graveyard where Burke & Hare dug up bodies to sell to the medical school of the University before they started killing people to make sure the bodies were 'extra fresh'.
Aurjay:
I live in a place that has all the beach but none of the ocean. We have snow capped mountains and blistering heat sometimes in the same day. Rattlesnakes and Rabbits are abundant, shade is not. Very quiet town yet 10min drive away is the deadliest city in the world.
Eris:
I will go take photos of where I live after I have finished doing my cleaning. It may be a while.
