Hope I'm doing this right as I have not hosted before...I may need someone to step in on Saturday as my son is on a 600 mile bicycle trip and I think we may head out to find him. This subject is dear to my heart because i am so curious about where everyone else lives. Basically, introduce us to your town...if you live in a very rural area then show us your neighborhood, favorite hang-outs, whatever is unique, different...or what really identifies your home town. If someone wanted to move there ...what sites would you show them?? Even just street shots will work...just try to give us a feel of where you live. Add a description on your posting..maybe some facts ....in any case..Have fun!! And Welcome to Anchorage, Alaska!

St-Romuald-des-Etchemins. My fave. Sad news though, the City of Lévis decided to take all the small villages under its wing around here however I still live in St-Jean-Chrysostome back up from St-Romuald and we are still small villages but only pay our taxes in Lévis
Love the way you capture light on the water

Jefferson City is the capital of the U.S. state of Missouri and the county seat of Cole County. A small portion of the city extends into Callaway County. It is the principal city of the Jefferson City metropolitan area, which encompasses the entirety of both counties. As of the 2010 census, the population was 43,079 making it the 15th largest city in Missouri. Jefferson City was named after Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States.
In 2013, Jefferson City was named America's "Most Beautiful" Small Town by Rand McNally.
Jefferson City is on the northern edge of the Ozark Plateau on the southern side of the Missouri River near the geographic center of the state, in a region known as Mid-Missouri. It is at the western edge of the Missouri Rhineland, one of the major wine-producing regions of the Midwest. The city is dominated by the domed Capitol that rises from a bluff overlooking the Missouri River to the north. Lewis and Clark passed beneath that bluff on their historic expedition upriver before Europeans established any settlement there
The second, third and fourth pictures are from the top of the Capital.

Nice shots-Rufe! :thumbup: :thumbup:
I like this subject. Laska always good to view the images from your home area.
My town is Washington Crossing...It is where Washington Crossed the Delaware River from PA to NJ to win the battle of Trenton during the revolutionary war.
This is the final resting place of some who fought and died and went unidentified...there is a lovely view of the river just beyond. Not a bad place to rest for eternity

Beautiful shot,Nan! Like the composition!

Thanks JJ
The River plays a big roll in life around here.
People fish, kayak, tube and swim..There is a whole festival dedicated to SHAD.
Here it is swollen and brown after a rain but still beautiful with a rainbow
You covered your town well.

Goodday RIVKA Thanks for this challenge should be fun.
In the early 1900s the federal government with drew land from the Wind River Reservation, opened it to homesteading and Riverton was born, this year the EPA a federal bureaucracy (note non-elected officials) decided that never happened. Placing Riverton back on the reservation the lawsuits have just started, golly I love politics.
For those who are interested.
http://www.rivertonwy.gov/ duckduckgo or google Wind River Reservation
duckduckgo or google Fremont County Wyoming
A few photos from the archives may get some new ones.
My daughter visiting last Thanksgiving this sign is located west of Riverton so if you are driving in from Yellowstone or Teton parks you pass it.
Why does it say Rendezvous City the site of the last fur trading Rendezvous in the Wind River Mountains is here
Fremont County 100th Fair parade 2013
I have Photo of the last train that stopped here in the mid 1980s
