A view of the center of České Budějovice from the Black Tower. The square itself has an area of 1 hectare and is one of the largest in the Czech Republic. České Budějovice is probably most famous in the world for BUDVAR beer, which is brewed here :-) Many people also know the city from Jaroslav Hašek's novel The Good Soldier Švejk. From České Budějovice, the first horse-drawn railway on the European continent also led along the route Č. Budějovice - Linz - Gmunden. Salt was driven on it and was also used for passenger transport.

Pelotas, Brazil. Settled amid lands of natives Minuano and Carijos, my hometown, Pelotas, exhales reinvigorating energies of youth--from its traditional universities that attract students from all over Brazil. The picture I chose showcases exactly that: a pleasing summer day at the central square, youngsters enjoying life pre-Covid, the German clock tower, and the remarkable central market in the background. It also represents nature, the sub-tropical vibe. Life. Friendship.

My hometown, Hue is an important city in Vietnam, that is known as an ancient capital city with a lot of history stories. UNESCO recognized Hue palace as a World Heritage Site. Have you ever been running/ walking around your city or town and quietly just taking in the scenes around you? For example, when I do this, I notice the cyclists working really hard to drive passengers around the streets, the tourists slowly drinking tea/coffee along the roadside. Those things to me among others make up something very Hue in vibe. That I mean by this statement is with other cities like Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi you can straight away get overwhelmed with a sense of this is busy 24/7 and that is great that’s their vibe. Hue on the other hand is slower paced more involved you have time to think to smell to react to what is around you. There is the difference between farm and city here you can see it’s a place all people come to be together no matter who you are. I love this city with all my heart.

One of the favorite places of my childhood is the Fuente Luminosa de Higuerote, my parents used to take me in the afternoons to ride my bicycle and wait for its colorful water jets to turn on. Its designer was the French engineer Maurice Rotival. Its design emulates three intertwined waves, and has a height of approximately 10 meters, the floor and walkways that surround it were originally made of colored vitreous mosaic. This fountain is architectural patrimony of the state of Miranda, it has a hydraulic and illumination system that today does not work, but in its years of splendor it offered a spectacle of water jets illuminated by colored lights, practically unique in Latin America. Today, in spite of its abandonment, it still conserves its majestic beauty. Greetings from Venezuela.

My hometown is Karimban. Karimban is a small village in Idukki, India. This place is geographically known for its mountainous hills, amazing waterfalls and dense forests. In our district there is no airport nor any railway stations. The people in this place are very attached to nature and its wildlife. Even though its a small and simple village, i am so lucky to born in a place like this cause its peaceful here and thats the thing lacking in this machine world. Like Isaac Newton said Nature is pleased with simplicity,and nature is no dummy. I have posted some incredible photos of nature and scenic views from my hometown earlier in hive as well as in @phortun comment section. But for this contest i thought of sharing a picture of my small and underdeveloped village. But in this photo also mother nature added some brightness. In this picture you can see a mahindra thar in the front of the shop. Its an offroading vehicle. About 50 percentage of the people living in Idukki have to drive through muddy and tricky roads inorder to reach there houses. So offroading vehicles are more popular here.

This is the Jacques Cartier Bridge, located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was inaugurated in 1930, but is actual name was given in 1934 after a petition was made to change it in honor of Jacques Cartier, a French navigator who was the first European to explore the St. Lawrence River.

My home town is Byron Bay, NSW, Australia and today I am not going to show you our famous beaches because I think I have shown you all enough of our beaches that you are all familiar with nor am I going to show you my little town cause there is nothing really interesting to show apart from houses and shops but I am going to show you Cape Byron lighthouse which is our icon of Byron Bay town. The Cape Byron lighthouse was built in 1899 and has been in operation since 1901 when it opened, it is not a real tall lighthouse standing at 22 metre high, the reason been why it wasn't built any taller is because it sits 94 metres above sea level on top of Cape Byron Headland giving it sweeping views all over the Pacific Ocean from up there and shinning all over Byron Bay town. It use to be operated manually by resident keepers in the early years but today it is a automated lighthouse and has gone down as one of Australia's Historical sites.

Currently I'm living in a coastal city, Danang. But my hometown is DakLak, a province in the highland of Vietnam. When I think of my hometown, I immediately think of green and yellow. Green is the color of trees, my hometown has a lot of trees because it is a mountainous province. Yellow is the color of the afternoon sun, the afternoon sun in my hometown is very beautiful. Below is a photo of me driving my grandfather's motorbike on the way home under the shade of trees in the afternoon. It is the image that sticks to my mind every time I remember my homeland. By the way, the photos about your hometown are very beautiful.

Missed this round hopefully get in on the next round. Nice photos presented here will give them some upvotes.
