Tardis is a police Box that's a telephone box ![](/images/emoticons/tongue_smilie.gif) [geek mode]T.A.R.D.I.S. can form any shape, to blend into the "background" but The Doctor's tardis is stuck as a 1950's UK Police Call Box. The device to change shape is broken. (Therefore, this UK Red telephone box might well be another T.A.R.D.I.S. - or perhaps the current Doctor has fixed the transformation - after all, he made the St. John's Ambulance sticker re-appear after 20 or so years) The Master's T.A.R.D.I.S. was at one stage stuck as a Greek Column, not sure if it still is. Time travellers, can fix planets, not T.A.R.D.I.S. shape changing[/geek mode] Oh, as to the "where in the world" keep it up, I will try to find some nice pics soon | | | Signature? We don't need no stinking... hang on, this has been done... blast [oooh now in Widescreen] Ah... well you see.... I thought I'd say something more interesting... but cannot think of anything..... oh well And to those of you who have disabled viewing of these signature files "hello" (or not) Registered: July 27, 2004 | | | Last edited: by FunkyLA |

Please keep posting them - I hope we get as many posts as the dog and cat photos! Well, since you asked for more pics... Where I grew up is near Bee Spring, Kentucky. There's not much in Edmonson County besides the lake & the cave. There's no interstate, no stop lights, no Wal-Mart, it's a dry county, there's one fast food joint (a Dairy Queen), and only about 2000 more people live in the entire county than the town I live in now. And if I won the lottery I would buy a lakefront lot and move back in a heartbeat. I MISS living on the lake. Here is a view down the road you would turn on to get to the house I grew up in. Back when we lived there it didn't have a name and was gravel. ![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Hudson_Road,_Bee_Spring,_Kentucky.png/800px-Hudson_Road,_Bee_Spring,_Kentucky.png) While this isn't exactly our backyard, it's a close approximation. Our house sat on a lakefront lot on Nolin Lake. This is a shot of Nolin Lake State Park. ![](http://www.kentuckycrosswords.com/Learn/placepics/Celrl-09.jpg) Of course, this being Edmonson County, the best known (heck, only well known) part of the county is Mammoth Cave! ![](http://www.visitusa.com/kentucky/images/mammoth-cave/frozen-niagara.jpg) ![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/42/Mammoth_Cave_Mammoth_Dome.jpg/400px-Mammoth_Cave_Mammoth_Dome.jpg) | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. -- Thorin Oakenshield | | | Last edited: by Danae Cassandra |

| Posted: | | | | I live in Pacifica, California. Pacifica is just south of San Francisco on the coast of the Pacific. This is Linda Mar State Beach: ![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a36/jlproffitt/pacifica-1.jpg) We're known for having a Taco Bell on the beach: ![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a36/jlproffitt/TacoBell-1.jpg) This is the Linda Mar valley, my neighborhood: ![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a36/jlproffitt/Pacifica_California_aerial_view-1.jpg) I live about a mile inland, so no, I do not live in the apartments that are falling into the ocean: ![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a36/jlproffitt/Spectators-riveted-as-Pacifica-buil.jpg) My wife and I retreat to her inherited family home in McCloud in Northern California on Mt. Shasta. It's an old mill town which was company-owned until the 1960s. My father-in-law was the town pharmacist in his pharmacy at the end of this building until the early 1980s: ![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a36/jlproffitt/sep07_travel_mccloud_2.jpg) The above is Lake Siskiyou, which is about 10 miles away in the town of Mt. Shasta. Another view of Mt. Shasta from McCloud: ![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a36/jlproffitt/mccloud-1.jpg) Remember the train bridge scene in Stand by Me? It was filmed here in McCloud. Sadly, the McCloud River Railway, operating until recently as a dinner train, has been shut down. The track of the historic railway was sold for scrap. ![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a36/jlproffitt/mccloudtrain.jpg) "Baby Blue Marine" was also filmed in McCloud in the early '70s: ![](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a36/jlproffitt/baby_blue_marine.jpg) | | | ...James

| Posted: | | | | I have nephews who were extras in Baby Blue Marine, the two youngest kids saluting the flag in the internment camp. James has a photo of him & Mark in costume on his fireplace mantle. | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.
