The “Secret Beach” wasn’t feeling very secret—unless you count the secret of how to squeeze your car into a non-existent parking spot. Determined, I staked my claim hours early and sweet-talked a fellow beachgoer into standing atop the perfect rock for my shot.

Sulphur mountain is based in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies and overlooks the small town of Banff in Alberta. Sulphur Mountain Trail is an alpine switchback pathway which leads to the summit ridge of Sulphur Mountain. It will take the whole day to climb the mountain and back. So making the most of the Banff Gondola Experience, the cable cars have a glass panel in the bottom. They gain elevation quickly and can rock when the wind is blowing. It took about 10 minutes to lift from the bottom to the summit. Climbing an extra kilometer along the Parks Canada Vista Trail, known as the Banff Skywalk to get the most impressive and revealing views of the mountains and valleys. The epic views are truly endless from the rooftop deck or with a stroll along the mountain boardwalk.

 

So windy on the summit ridge of Sulphur Mountain, the scenery was breathtaking. Planned to stay couple of hours there, chatted with staff, they said the sunset would be very beautiful. But the tripod was in the car, so asked the staff if I could get tripod for taking sunset photos, that means I need to take cable cars to go down and go up again. They were so kind to offer “Yes”! Here is the sunset to overlook town of Banff.

Arizona offers an incredible variety of stunning natural landscapes.

Just a few miles south of the massive dam at Lake Powell, the Colorado River winds its

way through the Glen Canyon region, heading south.

One of the most popular spots along the way is Horseshoe Bend, which attracts visitors

every day.

Located in the northern part of the state, it’s absolutely worth the trip.

The view down into the Colorado River valley is truly unforgettable.

Maybe that’s why so many people come — it’s hard to pull yourself away from such a

breathtaking place.

i stood on the edge of zahara de la sierra, where the mountains crack open like time itself. the lake below, still as a breath held in silence, reflects the passing clouds like fleeting thoughts. between light and shadow, between motion and memory – this moment felt like a quiet exhale from the earth. i didn't take this photo, it happened to me.

Taken at Gaustatoppen in Norway. This mountain have the widest view in Norway. On a clear day you can see 1/6 of Norways mainland from the top of the mountain, 1883 meter above sea level.

 

A unique view of the town I live in. The sun is kissing the top of the city before night falls. The mountain in the spotlight is seen wherever you drive around here. It's a bit of a symbol of this place.

A lone, lifeless tree stands resilient against the golden dunes of Namibia, its gnarled branches reaching toward the endless sky. This stark contrast between shadow and light captures the raw, untamed beauty of the Namib Desert, a place where time stands still and nature whispers stories of endurance.

This aerial image captures one of Earth’s most dramatic natural boundaries — the spot where the ancient golden dunes of the Namib Desert fall into the rolling waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Located along Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, this surreal landscape embodies raw beauty, stark contrast, and the eternal dance between desert silence and ocean roar.

The shepherd dog in the foreground sits on a raised platform by the famous Gergeti Trinity Church, a 14th-century monastery situated at an altitude of approximately 2,170 metres. From this vantage point, a breathtaking panorama extends over Stepantsminda, a small town in the Georgian Caucasus and a major gateway for adventurers exploring the mountains. Stepantsminda is the starting point for many mountain climbs, including the challenging trek to the summit of Kazbek, one of the highest mountains in Georgia, which at 5,033 metres is a popular destination for experienced climbers and nature lovers alike. In the background, the imposing mountain range rises, including Mount Kuro, which rises to 3,980 metres and forms a dramatic, rugged frame for this sacred structure. The snow-capped peaks and sheer cliffs emphasize the solitude and grandeur of this place. The dog, a faithful companion of the monastery priests, seems to watch over the city and the valley like a guardian. This image symbolizes the peace and timelessness of the region, where nature, culture and tradition come together in a unique way. With the warm autumnal hues in the valley, the rugged rock formations and the snow-capped mountain peaks, the photo exudes both serenity and majestic power. Here, where history and nature merge harmoniously, the dog silently watches over the centuries-old monastery and the vast highlands.

 

From Gergeti Trinity Church, the view offers a breathtaking panorama of Mount Kuro, an imposing mountain rising to 3,980 metres. The mountain towers with steep rocks and snow-capped peaks form a dramatic contrast with the greenery of the valley and the small town of Stepantsminda in the distance. The view extends over the surrounding mountain range, which gives the region a majestic aura. The power and ruggedness of Mount Kuro dominate the landscape, while the church itself maintains a quiet, spiritual presence. It is a place where nature displays its grandeur, but at the same time silence and serenity reign.

 

De herdershond op de voorgrond zit op een verhoogd punt bij de beroemde Gergeti Trinity Church, een 14e-eeuws klooster dat op een hoogte van ongeveer 2.170 meter ligt. Vanuit dit uitkijkpunt strekt zich een adembenemend panorama uit over Stepantsminda, een klein stadje in de Georgische Kaukasus en een belangrijke toegangspoort voor avonturiers die de bergen willen verkennen. Stepantsminda vormt het startpunt voor vele bergbeklimmingen, waaronder de uitdagende tocht naar de top van de Kazbek, een van de hoogste bergen van Georgië. Met zijn 5.033 meter is Kazbek een populaire bestemming voor zowel ervaren klimmers als natuurliefhebbers. Op de achtergrond rijst een indrukwekkende bergketen op, waaronder Mount Kuro, die tot 3.980 meter hoog reikt en een dramatische, ruige omlijsting biedt voor dit heilige bouwwerk. De besneeuwde pieken en steile rotsen onderstrepen de eenzaamheid en grootsheid van deze plek. De hond, een trouwe metgezel van de kloosterpriesters, lijkt hier als een wachter over de stad en de vallei uit te kijken. Met de warme herfsttinten in het dal, de robuuste rotsformaties en de met sneeuw bedekte bergtoppen straalt de omgeving zowel sereniteit als majestueuze kracht uit. Hier, waar geschiedenis en natuur harmonieus samensmelten, waakt de hond zwijgend over het eeuwenoude klooster en de uitgestrekte hooglanden.
