Marin County California. Last April while visiting northern California, I drove up to Mt. Tamalpais and then to the adjacent hills in Marin County to watch the sunset. I parked the car next to this road (behind me) and climbed the steep grass covered hill until I found a perfect perch to watch the sunset. As the sun got closer to the horizon the light turned almost unnaturally red, and covered these hillsides in the most magical light.

Sunset Koh Larn
I took this picture about 2 weeks ago on the Ferry ride back to Pattaya from Koh Larn. The sea was quiet and the light was beautiful as the sun was going down.

Sunset over the Nile

Wonderful colorful sunset while traveling up the Nile on cruise ship couple of years ago. Multidimensional composition with Nile at foreground and then coming forest and mountains far away.
Shot with long tele-photo lens compressing the perspective. Just beautiful landscape and great memories

Enjoy the scenery :)

@vinceboisgard European Thursday entry:

Normandie is a great place to visit in France, you can walk to the top of the cliff and admire the view over the ocean. Etretat is a town that worth the visit with its natural bridge sculpted in the cliff. There you can eat great seafood :)

I took this photo of an elk at Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. I was driving along a road and I saw it on the roadside, I parked and I had the opportunity to take this interesting photo, it did not move when I approached it. Banff is a wonderful place, plenty of wild life.

Taken at Kinney Lake on a hike up Mount Robson in British-Columbia. After a couple of hours of climbing, we finally reached the bridge that crosses to the lake. The view was blocked by tall trees. Nothing could prepare me for the view I would find on the other side of the trees! The lake was perfectly still for just a few minutes then the reflection vanished.

As always... Stunning! I will post my Canada photo later today because this country is made for perfect photo's like yours.

Great reflection

Wow, what a stunning place!

Beautiful view above the lakes, great capture

Winter in Washington

I took this photo several years ago from the bench above the river, near where I live. I am blessed with fabulous views like this each morning on my drive to work, and get to see the river, forests, and elements every morning and afternoon. The morning I took this photo was especially brilliant with a fresh coat of snow from the night before and a clear morning's sun burning through the fog. What an amazing wonder nature is!

Street with classic cars in Santiago de Cuba

Santiago de Cuba is often referred to as birthplace of the Cuban revolution and has a different feel than the capital Havana. Over 50 years after winning the revolution, posters still advertised Fidel Castro in 2015.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.

I love the colours of Cuba! What a beauty! ❤️

Colorful photography 👌👌

Hi @czechglobalhosts

Here is my Entry: Park Avenue Trail - Arches National Park

The Park Avenue Trail is the first major attractions when you start from main entrance of Arches National Park. The trail is stretched to 1 mile, which follows the depth of canyon at the feet of some of the wonderful and gigantic structures formed of monoliths. All of the natural wonders crossing the trail are huge and attractive for the size and shape formed and these are photographed often

Beautiful. I love southern Utah.

One of the majestic building of New York City, I named the "Flatiron Building". A curious shape for a building that was built to fully optimised the spaces in between the streets, it is now one of the most famous known building in New York!

Location: Manhattan, New York, USA.

Nice perspective of the building

Thank you, I was inspired :)


Snowy Oregon

It is November and I am ready for the snow. The snow and fog caught my attention and made this scene so magical. I took this beautiful picture in southern Oregon. Link to post

Pretty In Pink
The setting sun lights up the underside of these dark stormy clouds with a nice pink highlight as some rain is seen falling behind Capitol Butte.
This image was captured in Sedona Arizona USA during October of 2018.

Walking the ridges of Mount Lafayette, New Hampshire is a superb experience. The view, no matter which direction you look is amazing. The best part of the day, the sun came out has we reached the summit.
