This week the theme is something typical/traditional from your country. As this is an international forum, it will be interesting to discover other places :)

Olly

Great theme! I think I will go take mine this evening, since I hurt my knee and can't go jogging for a few days..

DUH....
After reading this a little too quickly earlier today I came back because I was just a tad confused.
I thought it was Tropical/Traditional instead of Typical.....I was wondering what in the heck I was going to do with the whole tropical thing being in Ohio and all!!
Spent way too much time thinking about that one! LOL

This is my picture for the theme of the week. A guitar player in the country somewhere in a place called Mafuiane.
He took a Castrol can to make is own guitar.

Im going to have to do some brainstorming for this one... right now all I can think of is Hockey lol.

I'm doing some serious brainstorming as well! For some reason, I can only think of some negative things typical right now, LOL. Is this a trick, Olly? :D

Beautiful photos Sophia :)
I am hungry now after seeing the photo of the restaurant. LOL

Courtney: you have many choices, like an American car, a pick up, a bottle of coca cola etc

Here is another photo:

It is a Citroen 2CV, a typical French car (with the Citroen DS and SM). There are still many of them around in London, more than in Nice per example (and in Nice you see more Mini, the original version, than anywhere else!).
More about the 2CV at http://www.citroen.com/CWW/en-US/HISTORY/LegendaryAndClassical/2CV/2CV_1/

Well you see a lot of these around the Ottawa area for sure. Everyone loves to stop at a chip stand. I have a couple more pictures in mind but may take awhile to get them.

Olly,
That looks like a 4-door Volkswagon Bug!

A 2CV!!We hardly see one in Athens anymore.Classy car :)

Here's mine! http://www.megapixelworld.com/photography/showphoto.php?photo=1246&cat=500&ppuser=20

What is more typical than Hooters? :D

Courtney what is Hooters,is it a restaurant?I live so far away and i don't know it :)

Well Courtney, I'm sure going to enjoy your explanation :p Maybe their website says it all "Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined". LOL www.hooters.com

Well Courtney, I'm sure going to enjoy your explanation LOL!

Hooters is indeed a restaurant that serves "American" style food. The attraction (so I'm told) is the waitresses. They wear very short shorts and small tops and have a very large chest "area" :D If anyone is familiar with Pamela Anderson (she's Canadian!) -- that is what comes to mind :)

Courtney, I'm impressed! Your explanation was descriptive but within the bounds of decorum. Your picture is great by the way, it's so perfect for the theme!

Courtney thanks for the explanation.Would they allowed you take photos from inside?
Looking the site that Lisa mentioned i just remember that i have seen something like this on tv before :D
Your photo fits great to the theme of the week

Would they allowed you take photos from inside?

Douma, I am pretty sure they would let you take a picture from the inside if you were a customer.

Courtney, I'm impressed! Your explanation was descriptive but within the bounds of decorum

Whew, thank you. That doesn't always happen :)

:) Hooters!! we have one here but I haven't been in there yet and I don't think I intend to either LOL good place to keep your better half out of:)

Heres my themed pic :D Its a (badly taken, as zoomy as my camera gets) picture of the Sky Tower and a stick poking out of the mud flats lol. Its Auckland city central surrounding it. I cut off the top off the tower though! Oops!

I would say this is a tradition, skating on the Rideau Canal, its the longest skating rink in the world. It has made the Guiness Book of Records. You can skate, walk, push sleighs. Best of all you can eat some Beaver Tails
http://www.razzledazzlerecipes.com/canada/beaver-tails.htm. In the summer you can boat or take a tour boat or job along the shore.

We have the Royal Canadian Mounted Police but not so easy to get a picture of them. :)

Colleen your photo is very nice and skating to work is the best way to start the day,fun and athletic :D

I like the way you framed the photo with the city and the stick :)

lmao Courtney good one. Actually my nephew went to Hooter sfor his 12th bday.. he has a picture of the hooters girls holding him from the legs to his head.

BTW its a good thing ppl dont actually go there for the food cuz it SUCKS

The food did not suck at the one I went in Orlando. It was pretty good :)
If you want food that really sucks, come to London and I will show you some places I got sick for two days with fever...

Lisa, those are really great pictures dipicting the south west

Lisa your photos are wonderful!!

Does they sell the cattle heads,people buy them for decor or something else?

They do sell the cattle heads. I didn't ask how much. :p I've seen people using them as decor in their garden or at their front door and it kind of reminds me of old western movies. However, I don't think I'd ever buy one!

I have seen that on tv and i thought that they don't use them nowadays,but it's very good people keep the tradition :)
