So I thought that possibly some of you would like to share your pictures of Ohio with people from all over the world. I thought that we could help show people how beautiful Ohio actually is and what it has to offer. I decided to create a photo blog that everybody can contribute to. You have the option to submit your pictures that will then be posted on the blog with credits to you as well as a link to UrbanOhio. If you dont feel like doing that you can also just post the picture on this thread and I will do the work for you. Again feel free to join in and show the world Ohio.

 

Here is the link to the page.

 

If you do feel like posting a picture on this thread, please leave a description of what is in the picture. Thanks

Okay guys I changed things a little. I have one of my pictures up to show you an example of how things would work.

Nice first picture!  I like the idea, although I have no pictures to contribute. 

No one feels like sharing? You guys are worse than 5 year olds :laugh: Im just kidding so dont get mad lol.

^I submitted some photos yesterday from my tumblr account.

 

*Edit* By the way, I see that you have posted both of my submissions, is there any way that you can credit me?

Yeah I went back. It didn;t show up the first time. Do you want a link to your tumblr or your UrbanOhio name?

This is from the annual holiday toy train display in downtown Cincinnati, last year. It's in the lobby of the Duke Energy building, which is a cool place in and of itself.

 

Don't you love that little boy's face? :-)

 

(The only thing missing from the photo is a train...oops.)

Thanks! Also, my tumblr name is fine.

Thanks! I put it up. Look good to you?

I think it looks good, I can't wait to see more and more photos on this site.

Yup, thanks. I'll remove it from my post since it's on tumblr now.

Yeah, it's going on right now. It's seriously cool. I remember my dad bringing me down there as a kid and loving it.

 

Last year (probably this year too) they had a camera on one of the trains, and a TV on one of the walls in the lobby showing the video from the train. The coolest thing about it was how, since the models are so detailed, it looked like the train was going through a real town. Save for the gigantic people standing by, who you could also see. So the other cool thing was that kids could watch the monitor while other members of the family waved at the train cam as it went by.

 

The lobby itself is pretty sweet, including a couple relief murals on the walls depicting the city and the river.

People have liked the pictures posted so far. Anyone else feel like sharing?

Was the website deleted? If so, we should remove this thread from the top.

Wow this is old! Haha. And yeah people didn't want to participate so I ended up deleting I believe. And yeah it should be taken down due to these circumstances. Wish it would have taken off! Would have promoted both our cities and state as well as UrbanOhio.com. Oh well
