Southern Alps, New Zealand.
The Southern Alps (Māori: Kā Tiritiri o te Moana) are a mountain range extending along much of the length of New Zealand's South Island, reaching its greatest elevations near the island's western side.
The range runs 500 km north to south. The tallest peak is Aoraki / Mount Cook, the highest point in New Zealand at 3,724 metres (12,218 ft) and there are sixteen other points that exceed 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) in height. The mountains are cut through with glacial valleys and lakes.
The Southern Alps lie along a geological plate boundary, part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, with the Pacific Plate to the southeast pushing westward and colliding with the northward-moving Indo-Australian Plate to the northwest.

The imposing geology of the Giant's Causeway, Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The Giant's Causeway, located in County Antrim, on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.

The beautiful tones of neglect and rebellion whilst using completely the wrong lens for the job absolutely on purpose.
The medieval festival of Cordes sur Ciel (Fêtes Médiévales du Grand Fauconnier) in France is still an insider tip. Every July, the perfectly intact medieval village provides a stage for a travel back to the time of the Middle Ages: falconry, music and dance, taverns, animate the city; the population dress appropriately for the occasion. A perfect scenery and every photographer's dream come true.
Giant's Chair and Table, Slieve League cliffs, Bunglass Point, Donegal, Ireland.
The Slieve League (Irish: Sliabh Liag) cliffs are located on the coast of County Donegal. With a maximum height of 601 metres, the Slieve League are the island of Ireland's highest sea cliffs (the highest sea cliff of all Ireland is Croaghaun with 668 m, on Achill Island, County Mayo).
The view of the Slieve League cliffs at Bunglass Point is absolutely wonderful. The two sea stacks in front of the cliffs are called the Giant's Chair and Table because of their shape and dimensions.

JRR Tolkien grew up across the road from Sarehole Mill and spent many hours exploring the grounds as a child; in later life he would draw on its rural surroundings to create Middle-earth.
There has been a mill on this site since 1542, and the current building dates from the mid-18th century. In the 1850s a steam engine was installed and the chimney – which provides its distinctive silhouette – was built.
There are also connections with another Birmingham son. Matthew Boulton, manufacturer and business partner of engineer James Watt, leased the building between 1756 and 1761 and used it as a ‘flatting mill’ to producing sheet metal to make buttons.
Text Ref: www.birminghammuseums.org.uk/sarehole-mill
J. R. R. Tolkien lived within 300 yards of the mill at around the turn of century, between the ages four and eight, and would have seen it from his house. The locale at that time was rural Worcestershire farmland and countryside. He has also said that he used the mill as a location in The Lord of the Rings, for the Mill at Hobbiton. In an interview with Guardian journalist, John Ezard in 1966, before the mill's restoration, Tolkien said:
It was a kind of lost paradise... There was an old mill that really did grind corn with two millers, a great big pond with swans on it, a sandpit, a wonderful dell with flowers, a few old-fashioned village houses and, further away, a stream with another mill. I always knew it would go – and it did.

Rainbow not far from Dunluce Castle, Bushmills Co. Antrim (Northern Ireland).
We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean.
We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.

Exactly the same shot as previous with just a single effect applied to the whole image. I then selectively removed the effect from some of the trees and the water at varying opacities.

The forest of walking trees - again inspired by my recent re-read of Lord of the Rings, I'm delighted to find myself in landscapes which could have been taken right out of Tolkien's imagination. The Huorns were the wild walking trees shepherded by the Ents. The gnarly oak trees in this secluded woodland reminded my of those.
