Description

1.

Spectacular Yosemite Valley

Yosemite Valley, USA

The Yosemite National park would have to be one of the most spectacularly beautiful places on earth.

2.

Semuc Champey, Guatemala

Semuc Champey, Guatemala

The locals call this the eighth wonder of the world. The most beautiful steps of turquoise cascading rock pools, next to a raging river that flows underground through a sort of natural rock bridge. We also hiked for a half hour directly up the side of the hill to a lookout, for a birds eye view of this natural wonder.

3.

Grand Canyon at Dusk

Grand Canyon, USA

The canyon view is breathtaking and cannot be described fully in words, nor captured adequately on film.

6.

Great Australia Bight

Great Australian Bight, SA, Australia

The flat nullabor plain just stops and drops off into the sea along this southern coast of Australia

7.

Bryce Canyon

Bryce Canyon, USA

It is an amazingly weird landscape, soft carved rock formed into canyons, valleys, and tall shapely statues.

8.

Teddys Lookout, Lorne, Great Ocean Road

Halong Bay, Vietnam

Big Sur, Californian Coast

Big Sur, California, USA

The spectacular Big Sur coast
