Ponies Around the World Round 1!


Looking at all of these amazing locations, you start to realize how awesome Earth actually is. We may not have Manticores, controllable weather, and anime eyed ponies running around, but that doesn't mean it has to be boring!  I admit, my idea of exploration has always been caves filled with goblins, and planar bastions of various elemental gods (Rallos Zek being the coolest), but this has sort of broadened my horizons a bit.  I have to admit...I jelly! 

Instead of dumping all of these into one massive post, I'm going to be doing it in sets of ~50. The deadline is still tonight at 11:59 PM PST.

Images that are pre-labeled are first to go up.  I'll do the unlabeled ones separate.  It just makes it easier to organize.  If you want to get yours in sooner, go back to the email thread you sent me, label them, then re-send them.

With that being said, I'm going to go backpack across Europe after this event is over! See you all when season 2 comes out!

(I wish... confound that money thing)

Also please note: There will be another 6 or so rounds coming up.  If you read nothing else, read this! Your image isn't forgotten, it's just in line!

So sad to be on vacation and not have a chance to take a picture with Pinkie-pie on the grassy knoll in down town Dallas.

Avogadro said...

Aww Man! Why didn't I get involved?

Bronies in Seattle! Awesome! That settles it, I am
SO buying a camera for Ponies Around the World part two. I'm surprised that the picture wasn't taken from the inside of the darn Space Needle.

Ponies truly are serious business in Prague, lol! That one's definitely my favorite.

Yay~ More Island Ponies. Makes sense that Rarity was the one taking a vacation in Hawaii.

I have no landmark near where I am but damn it I will go to the highest hill around here with my RD and take a pic!

DareDreamer said...

These are *So Awesome*! Great shots, everypony!

I really wished I could have participated in this, but I've been busy with my summer so far. I could have ask my dad to take Pinkie to Bryant Park in the city, but I didn't want to destroy his masculinity :P

Anyway, I can't wait to see more! :D

Anonymous said...

I thought I couldn't participate in this because I don't own any pony toys.

And now I see pictures of people with pony pictures. Why didn't I think of that?

Killsteal_Wolf said...

Sweet, and best thing is there is still at least 6 more parts to go!

filleg said...

I'm nr 13. :D My non brony friend took the picture. Lulz.

SmittyG said...

I'll see if i can get to London and take some better pics with more ponies.
That San Fransisco backdrop Disney World picture bought back awesome memories, such an amazing illusion.

M1Abrams said...

Okay first things first, 18000000 and still climbing...I don't think its ever gonna stop!

Also, I wish I had done something for this. Could have gotten some great shots of my area while at work. Oh well, too little to late this time. Great pictures everyone!

Sedaheht said...

I'm totally inspired to take my ponies over to the one real tourist attraction in my city.

The second picture was really well taken, the picture of pinkie pie looks like a banner hanging on the building behind the flags, I had to zoom in just to realize it was just a piece of paper in front of the camera.

Surprised to see Buenos Aires, I guess this event may as well serve as a way to discover other french bronies around here.

Prague was nice too, I was there in the end of March.

@Tears of a Valedictorian
I'm not the photographer but I live in Bristol, so I should be able to help you out!

The boat there is The Matthew, not the Thekla.
The Matthew's cool, It's John Cabot's ship.

But the Thekla's cooler. It's just the best music venue ever.

Gigs, on a boat! 'Nuff said, really!
I'm glad you think our city is so awesome!

I own this shirt too :P

@Tr4fficLights Check again - those were all me :D

@Vyuun Cafepress has a bunch of MLP Shirts, as does Spreadshirt

@SmittyG They had a NYC backdrop too, but I didn't get a picture of it

What I'd like to know is where to get the T-shirt with Rainbow DAsh's CM on the front. The one I have is on the back, so I can't wear another shirt over it and my work gets cold since we're in a converted closet :(

In addition to all the Disney World ones, I'd been hoping to get one at the last shuttle launch, but I couldn't get off work :(

Rubidia said...

Oh by Celestia's sun, these are actually really cool! At first I kind of expect most of the landmarks to be from the U.S., but it would seem like we have a very large number of bronies from all across the globe!

New Zealand brony here, by the way! I would've taken a photo but... alas, there really isn't anything photo-worthy in my immediate area, nor do I have a pony. :(
