The Empire State Building and food vendors seen on a side street are an iconic sight in midtown Manhattan.
Looking up at this much photographed London architectural icon situated south of the river, at the base of London Bridge. Click the link below and you'll immediately be able to make sense of this pov.
I'll bet these are two of the most photographed building in the Old Town area of Stockholm. This is my version. Severely straightened and processed with textures.

The Landwasser Viaduct was constructed between 1901 and 1902 on behalf of the Rhaetian Railway, which both owns and operates it till today. The viaduct is part of the World Heritage-listed Albula Railway linking Thusis on the Hinterrhein (697 m) and Filisur (1,080 m) with St. Moritz in the Engadin (1,775 m). The Landwasser Viaduct is 65 m high and 136 m long. One of the striking features is its highly pronounced curve.
In 2009 the viaduct was renovated for the first time since its original construction.

Aquà tenemos otra de este lugar tan icónico para los fotógrafos. En este caso, opté por una larga exposición (no suelo hacerlas) para simplificar el plano medio ocupado por el mar, dejando el protagonismo a la roca en primer plano, con los graciosos surcos que el agua al retirarse deja en la arena, y las montañas del fondo. El cielo no es que estuviera soso, pero tampoco estaba para tirar cohetes; el caso es que el resultado me gustó bastante.
Vintage, rustic-style entrance sign on Highway 61 at Gooseberry Falls State Park. This sign is one of my earliest memories of the North Shore.
The park is located in Castle Danger, about ten miles north of Two Harbors, Minnesota on the North Shore of Lake Superior. It is one of Minnesota's most popular and treasured state parks.
It was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the late 1930's/early 1940's as part of the New Deal getting men back to work during the Great Depression. There are several awesome historic buildings here along with lots of trails, many feet of rocky Lake Superior shoreline, a campground (book a year ahead of time for summer camping!), an awesome picnic area with CCC-built tables still in place and lots more.
It's a "must stop" place if you are going anywhere on the North Shore.
The wonderful iconic Wellington Cable Car. The sky was a fabulous colour but I decided to try and do selective colour process to show off the car.
Pisa Cathedral with the iconic Leaning Tower (Torre pendente).

The Bixby Bridge is one of the most photographed bridges in the country. It is located about 15 miles south of Carmel, California along the Big Sur.

Another view of the icon of Stourhead the Palladian bridge and The Pantheon (Temple of Hercules). Wander around these lovely National Trust owned grounds at any time of the year but for me the autumn colours make for a splendid walk and photo opportunity of course.
Widely regarded as New Zealand's national flower, the Kowhai (Ko-fai) is native to this country and enjoys iconic status amongst Kiwis. Trees all over the country are currently covered with these small bright yellow flowers. It is a welcome harbinger of spring in this part of the world.
Icon - I really love Barn Owls and feel that they are sometimes underrated and overshadowed by other more popular owls for photography. They are found in such a wide range of habitats and having one in the backyard for many years made me really appreciate this species.
Here's a favorite of a juvenile I captured several years ago which I reprocessed.
Species: Barn Owl (Tyto alba)
Location: Northern California, CA, USA
Equipment: Nikon D810 + Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6, On Tripod
Settings: 1s, ISO: 1250, f/5.6 @390mm
The iconic Nine Arches Bridge (also known as the Bridge in the Sky), a famous colonial-era railway viaduct located in Ella, Sri Lanka.
Built in 1921 during the British colonial period, it is constructed entirely of stone, brick, and cement without using a single piece of steel.
