Inspired by the Cook-out thread, I didn't want to derail it.

I'm interested in what embark conditions do DF fans live! Open Google Maps, find your home and post the nearest Google Streetview or Panoramio location here (there is a "Link" command, upper right). You don't have to tell us which of the homes is yours! 

Feel free to comment upon other people's embarks, envy them, pity them, whatever. Have fun!

Mine embark conditions here!

How do you get the link?

Also, not posting exact street.

[ILikePie]

Here we go, Google maps is slow, so I'll post actual pictures.

We call those Dimri, it's a long chain of about ten ugly aqueduct-like towers. They light up in colors at night.

Those are Lookie, someone decided we need out own set of twin towers.
I'm gonna link the last one because it's so huge. Modi'in from up in the hills, not a very pretty place to live, I prefer Tel-Aviv myself.

Spoiler'd since it's so unsightly, also this isn't the exact part of town i love, but this is a nice part of town.

Around where I live. Not giving the exact location for security.

[kaijyuu]

Somewhere around here.

[breadbocks]

Well, yes. If we are discussing the world we embarked in, I live here.

We had a bit of a weapons crisis. Good news is it's over.

General area of course.  You can see my college and the Speedway pretty nicely in the pic.

Hmph, no matter how hard I try i can't get that little stick figure guy to show a picture of the speedway... oh well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytona_International_Speedway  Wikipedia has a good enough pic.

You live in a biome with palm trees!? You lucky bastard. All I get is conifer forest and snow. I do get almost unlimited deer, though, so that's a plus.

Well they aren't native and it's really a desert biome which is an uncomfortable reality people around here would rather forget...

I used to live in coastal forest biome, I still miss it.

So uh, how do we get link the place? I enter the name of the city, but the address stays the same. What am I missing?

You don't copy&paste the URL in the browser. Instead, there is a Link command in the upper right corner of Google Maps. Click and see.
