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.

On our last evening in Jasper, the weather cleared so we went to Patricia and Pyramid Lakes for the sunset. There wasn't much colour but there were beautiful reflections.

In 2006 i took a trip to Egypt. It was the most interesting trip i have been on. Decided to revisit the photos recently and this is my collection. These are the three Pyramids of Giza, and belive me when i say that in Egypt, this was the least interesting sight.
Had the opportunity to visit some of the major pyramids and temples in Egypt with my wife last week. Started our trip with a tour around Cairo where we visited the great pyramids of Giza! Major site crossed off our travel bucket list. 4,500+ years old and still standing.

Teotihuacan site in central Mexico was, in ancient times, one of the largest cities in the Americas. Located about 25 mi northeast of present-day Mexico City, Teotihuacan reached the peak of its prosperity and influence around ad 500 or ad 600.
During this period, the city covered an area of 8 sq mi and had at least 125,000 inhabitants and perhaps upto as high as 200,000. The city of Teotihuacan was founded around 200 BC and developed into an important city-state in the 1st century ad.
It had two great stone pyramids, the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon (from where this photo were taken). With an original height around 246 ft, the Pyramid of the Sun was one of the largest structures ever built by Native Americans.
Teotihuacan was organized around a central thoroughfare, known as the Avenue of the Dead that we see on this picture. It is flanked by temples and other structures. In the center of the city stood the Ciudadela (the Citadel), a massive rectangular enclosure that contained a large plaza and served as the city’s administrative center.
It is not known what caused the decline of Teotihuacan civilization beginning around ad 650. Drought, crop failure, and invasion may have all played a part.
A very interesting visit.
Ever wonder about the orange triangle on the subway walls? It's a marker for how far the rear guard should keep watching the platform with his head out the window as the train exits the station
This is NOT Photoshop trickery, but an actual optical illusion.
It was a temporary exhibit/installation by French artist JR, which ended one day after I arrived in Paris recently.

Alas, the illusion in this shot isn't perfect. It's in the right neighbourhood, but just not right. There is only one 'sweet spot' where everything is perfectly aligned. I just couldn't quite find it. I was looking through a telephoto lens, trying to get everything to match up, but moving slightly always screwed something up.
Ah well, just glad I got to see it and have a stab at shooting it. :-)
You can see more pics in my Paris set.

The Pyramids on the northwest side of Indianapolis are a spectacular feat of architecture. The pond that they sit on makes for great photography.
