A Swedish midsommer May-pole
May-poles used to be erected before May and there used to be fires on Midsummer. But the fires didn't look that good on Midsummer as it already was warm and very light. So the fires moved to May, and the May-pole to Midsummer. This pole is two weeks old. It was green as it should on Midsummer. The building behind is Herrgårn (www.linkmeet.com/_Herrgårn).

(Of course it somewhat breaks rule 5)

3. [Lady of Lore]
The U.S. Blend of cultures to create a unique one
This chior is made up of people from all over the world, Germany, Ireland, Spain, Mexico, Japan, etc and they can come together in schools to sing in chior together to sing Christmas Madrigals in several languages including one in Korean. It is through the combining of everyone and the acceptance of people from the world that makes up the "American" nationality. There is no specific physical appearance of nationality that is American, all the varieties compose it. Without it we are nothing.

Mount Susitna: Anchorage, Alaska; United States.
While I may be from the United States, I'm also from Alaska, and we're known to be a different breed. This picture illustrates how even Alaska's biggest city nestles comfortably in the heart of nature. Alaska, as well as the United States as a whole is still a growing frontier.

Ever been to Louisiana?
I am not sure this picture really needs a whole lot of explaining.

8. [Ocean Soul]
Castle
I didn't want to submit the typical beer and leather pants photos :P So, this is something that also represents Germany: castles and half-timbered houses.. lots of trees and nature.

North and South
From what I see on TV I think Italy presents a distorted image of what it really is, there's a lot of confusion between the north and the south, so different in culture and landscapes. we feel it, and you can see it...

- First thing that pops into someone's mind when Turkey is mentioned is, for some reason, all those stuff from the Ottoman era and anything that has to do with Islam. Well, I was going to challenge that view at first, then I said to myself, "why even bother?" and went ahead with more traditional stuff.
- The first picture is from inside the Hagia Sophia. You can see both Greek Orthodox Christian and Ottoman-style Islamic decorations at the same spot, together with tourists. Quite a contrast I'd say.
- Second is the Great Blue Mosque.
