#1
Antelope Canyon, Utah
Perhaps you've already seen this amazing view? Its unique rock coloring,
sandstone formations and ambient light are magical! John Crossley at
americansouthwest.net says, that Antelope Canyon is the "most visited
and photographed slot canyon in the region". Located on Navajo Nation
land, it's now a Navajo Tribal Park.
#2
Autumn In Japan
Two of the most stunning seasons in Japan are autumn and spring. Autumn
months are called "kouyou" in Japanese, which literally means red
leaves. Janek-Sedlar's photograph here captures a maple tree in the
height of the season before leaves begin to fall. Japan's popular autumn
destinations include Nikko, Kamakura, Hakone, Daisetsuzan mountains and
more!
#3
Ruby Falls, Tennessee
This high waterfall is found in an underground limestone cave within
Lookout Mountain, near Chattanooga City. The cave to Ruby Falls
originally had no entrance, but in 1928 it was discovered through a
manmade opening originally intended to bring tourists to another
destination called the Lookout Mountain Cave. Lookout Mountain itself is
now a National Historic Landmark, and it's filled with a series of
spectacular caverns.
#4
Botswana, Southern Africa
Photographer, Michael Sheridan has captured the quintessential dream of
an African safari! It's a wild adventure spying upon elephants profiled
against a fiery sunset. Botswana is mostly drylands with 70% being the
Kalahari Desert. Little water exists there and one can only imagine its
intrinsic value to these elephants.
#5
Japanese Garden: Portland, Oregon
Photographer, Tom Schwabel's shot of a Japanese Garden in Portland is
magical! He was in the right place at the right time in October, when
this maple became alive with autumn colors. The tree is only 6 feet tall
but you'd never know it, right?! Schwabel went under its canopy in
order to capture the magnificent barrage of fiery reds!
#6
Greenland's Antarctic Ice Sheet
The Ice Sheet glacier surrounds terrain and covers about 80% of
Greenland's surface, also it's the world's second largest ice sheet.
Greenland's amazing landscape of ice supports a population of about 57K.
Isn't this shot astounding, especially as it shows the underwater side
of the iceberg? Somehow it appears very stoic!
#7
Aurora: Kiruna, Sweden
Auroras are also known as the Northern Lights. Photographer Antony
Spencer practically froze with temperatures around -25 to capture this
shot, that's what we call an, "artistic dedication", and it was worth
it! Aren't the silhouettes of the trees both haunting and beautiful
against the dance of color? So Awesome!
#8
Purple Lilac Forest
Lonely forests wouldn't be so intimidating if they were all this
beautiful. Goes to show how much of a difference a field of lilies can
make. What kind of creatures do you think live in this enchanted forest?
Pixies, mostly pixies we assume.
#9
Lavender Fields, France
Perhaps the industry of lavender and potion making is similar to grapes
and wine, as there are no others like the French who can take it to the
level of being an art form. The lavender fields of Provence are simply
dreamlike in their purple haze of blooms. One can only imagine the
fragrance in the air! Beautiful.
#10
Matterhorn: Switzerland
Switzerland, is home to the majestic Matterhorn mountain. Do you
recognize it? Matterhorn mountain is what the infamous speeding sled
ride at Disneyland is emulating. The real Matterhorn borders between
Switzerland and Italy in the Pennine Alps, and it's the highest peak in
the Alps!
