I love cities... love travelling to different cities, love photographing them, love observing them and figuring out how they work. Where do you live? Where are your favourite places to be in that city?

Me-
Berlin, Germany
I'm new here, but so far my favourite places to be are:
- any of the beautiful parks here, reading a book
- quartier 206, a mall with wonderful designer brands and bags!
- cafe bravo, a cafe with glass walls and ceiling
- wandering around everywhere, window shopping!
- in bed with a cup of tea

Well, I live in northern Michigan and don't live in a huge city or anything, and we have a lot of great access to the outdoors. Most of my favorite places have to do with places to go hiking, or little spots on the lake (we're right on Lake Superior), or places to go snowshoeing. There's a little coffee shop that I could spend all day in. I also love my parents' backyard (they recently added this tiled outdoor patio area with a waterfall, pond, flowers, etc).

Austin, Texas
The Town Lake hike/Bike trail... great people watching, jogging, walking, dog walking spot, lots of shade, all around a lovely lake.
Local coffee shops... I love Ruta Maya, which often has free, family friendly entertainment in addition to great coffee and pastries.
South Congress... locally known as Soco.. a great "strip' of vintage shops, restaurants, trendy boutiques, etc. kind of has a "carnival" atmosphere on weekends. great for shopping and people watching.
My neighborhood.... I live in a nice 'hood pretty close in, and I love to walk and run through my neighborhood with my daughter in the jogging stroller
Barton Springs Pool... huge, naturally spring fed pool, great swimming, cold water (68 degrees year round) great people watching.
Sunset Valley farmer's market... great, fresh, locally grown produce every Saturday.
Neiman Marcus Hermes counter.. for obvious reasons.

Nah, just kidding.

The Hague is a very relaxed city, although a little quiet. Favourite places include
* Taking my kids to the petting zoo (there's many and they're open and free throughout the city)
*Riding to a restaurant for dinner on my bike or down to the "beach"
*Shopping in De Bijenkorf, along Denneweg or Nordeinde
*Going to Mauritshaus or the Escher Museum
