I am on a business-trip in Switzerland this week, unfortunately without my camera. The weather is probably not perfect for great shootings, low clouds and thunderstorms are real spoil-sports. Anyway, I post an older shot from a recent visit, showing the Rhine Falls of Schaffhausen, Switzerland

The incredible landscape of Napali coast, the natural scenery of movies such as Jurassic Parc, King Kong and many others (Kauai island, Hawaii)
This is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking views I have had on my trip through the Allgäu. I'm standing on mt. Tegelberg, at a height of about 1800 meters and look over countless Alpine peaks. Unfortunately I don't know the name of any of them. Not even from this sleeping giant lying right in front of me.
I could have stayed here for hours or wandered around, but unfortunately it was already afternoon and we still had to catch the last ride on the mt. Tegelberg ropeway. And so I only had 20 minutes just enough time to shoot this panorama.
Next time I'll take the first train up early in the morning and spend a whole day exploring these many paths (some of which can also be seen in the picture).
I am sure there is so much more to discover and photograph up here.
Dies ist einer der schönsten und atemberaubendsten Ausblicke, die sich mir auf meiner Reise durchs Allgäu geboten haben. Ich stehe auf dem Tegelberg, in einer Höhe von ca. 1.800 Metern und blicke über unzählige Alpengipfel hinweg. Leider weiß ich von keinem einzigen den Namen. Nicht einmal von diesem schlafenden Riesen, der direkt vor mir liegt.
Ich hätte hier für Stunden ausharren oder herumwandern können, doch leider war es schon am Nachmittag, und wir mussten die letzte Fahrt der Tegelbergbahn noch erwischen. Und so hatte ich nur 20 Minuten Zeit, gerade genug für dieses eine Panorama.
Beim nächsten Mal werde ich früh Morgens mit der ersten Bahn hoch fahren und einen ganzen Tag damit verbringen diese vielen Wege (von denen einige auch im Bild zu sehen sind) zu erkunden.
Ich bin mir sicher, dass es hier oben noch so viel mehr zu entdecken und zu fotografieren gibt.

A breathtaking view down the cliffs to the shore of the peninsule La Dramont. Only 45 km away are the overcrowded beaches of Cannes, only 37 km away the ones of Saint Tropez and here this unpopulated paradies. I could have spend two weeks here without getting bored. Unfortunately I had only two days. By the way, the colour of the water is not manipulated. When the sun is stang very low, ate the morning and evening, ite getting that cyan shine.
Ein atemberaubender Blick die Klippen hinunter auf die Küste der Halbinsel Le Dramont. Nur 45 km entfernt liegen die überfüllten Strände von Cannes, 37 km die von Saint Tropez und hier dieses menschenleere Paradies. Ich hätte zwei Wochen dort zubringen können und es wäre mir nicht langweilig geworden. Leider hatte ich nur zwei Tage. Die Farbe des Wassers ist übrigend nicht manipuliert. Wenn morgens oder abends die Sonne sehr tief steht bekommt es dieses türkiesen Schein.
I have often come to the Roche de Solutré (Solutre's Rock) to admire the gorgeous 360 degrees view that we discover at its top.
But I must admit that there, at sunset, under this very special light, with this sea of clouds covering the valley of the Saone River and the Mont-Blanc clearly visible on the horizon, it was an unusual breathtaking sight !

A couper le souffle !
Je suis venu souvent à la Roche de Solutré pour admirer la magnifique vue à 360 degrés qu'on découvre à son sommet.
Mais je dois avouer que là, au soleil couchant, sous cette lumière très spéciale, avec cette mer de nuages recouvrant la vallée de la Saône et le Mont-Blanc bien visible à l'horizon, c'était un spectacle inhabituel à couper le souffle !

The picture is not of best quality. It was taken from a distance with a 28-135mm fitted but I could not resist trying to catch it anyway. (:-D
Best seen in Large. Thanks.
I went on a short trip to one of my favorite lighthouses, Castle Hill Light near Newport, Rhode Island. It's still very difficult to access due to covid rules, but I managed. The view of Narragansett Bay was breathtaking as usual. One of the best settings for a lighthouse.
Zoom in for the full view.
a breathtaking view, a place full of history and charm of the past and mysticism. It was a real surprise. Italy is truly full of wonderful places
This monument is a symbol of Piedmont Region and a place that inspired the writer Umberto Eco to conceive the best-seller “Il nome della rosa” ( The name of the rose ) , the Sacra of San Michele is an ancient abbey built between 983 and 987 on the top of mount Pirchiriano, 40 km from Turin. From it’s towers you can admire Turin and a breathtaking view of the Val di Susa. Inside the main Church of the Sacra, dating from the twelfth century, are buried members of House of Savoy (one of the oldest royal family in the world).
Dedicated to the worship of the Archangel Michele, defender of the Christian people, the Sacra di San Michele fits inside a ruote of pilgrimage (long over 2000 km) wich runs from Saint-Michel ( France ) to Monte Sant’Angelo (Puglia).
The history, the spiritual value and the landscape that sorrounds it trasform the Sacra in a special destination for visitors from all over Europe: pilgrims, faithfuls, tourists but also athletes who want to test themselves with climbing paths or mountain-bike.
The Sacra di San Michele offers to its public guided tours and events during all months of the year.
The different historical, architecture and painting sites are accessible to people with disabilities.
This homestead was taken at Sweet Springs West Virginia. I never tire of the breathtaking rural scenery the Virginia's continually provide.

Riga’s tallest church with a tower offering a breathtaking view of the roofs of Old Town, the modern part of the city, Riga Bay and the Daugava River with its large port.
The more than 130 meters tall Gothic tower was completed at the end of the 15th century, but already in 1666 it collapsed. In 1690, a new tower was built in the Baroque style, with several domes and galleries, being the highest wooden construction in the world at the time. In 1721, lightning struck the tower and it burned down. At the decree of Russian Tsar Peter I the tower was renovated. The church was also demolished and the tower burned down during World War II.
In 1967, renovation of the tower began. This time a metal construction with an elevator was built so that the galleries can be used as sightseeing platforms. The tower is 123.25 meters high, and visitors are taken to the second gallery at the height of 72 meters.
Seven roosters of St Peter’s Church
Starting from the 15th century up to 1941, there had been a total of six wind vanes – roosters. The first rooster was bent by a storm, the second was blown down from the steeple, the third was removed because the storm had damaged it, the fourth rooster fell down in the churchyard during a storm, the fifth one collapsed, while the sixth rooster had been repaired, but came down when the tower collapsed. In 1970, a new rooster was erected, it was renovated and gilded for the 800th anniversary of the church.
Church building
St Peter’s Church was built in 1209, but just some walls and some pillars have remained from that time. Initially, it was a small hall, possibly with a separate bell tower. The current basilica was created during renovations in the 15th century.
The church hall leaves a grand impression, the middle part of it reaches a height of 30 meters. The altar part with five chapels demonstrates verticality of the Gothic style and fine profiles.
In 1997 Riga St Peter’s Church was included on UNESCO’s World Heritage list.

The Zion National Park in Utah is an amazing place. Turn around a corner, yet another breathtaking view of the red rocks. I held the camera low on this footpath. It just started to sprinkle a bit.
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, then merged them using the paintery version for the wood and shrubs.

I took this photo at the top of an access road above the red roofed church. it was a challenge to omit all of the people and busses that kept pulling into the church parking lot. The Village below is Vik, Iceland.

Snowcapped peaks,hovering clouds,fluttering prayer flags and an atmosphere of peace and contentment - that is Arunachal Pradesh for you.The shores of Lake Sangetsar Tso (altitude 12000 feet) near Tawang.
Have a wonderful day my friends and thank you for your visits and comments.
The quite breathtaking view from the Pinnacle summit, certainly worth the walk. I had to wait though to get an image without the daredevil "insta crowd" posing on that closest ledge. Shudder ... the cries of "I'm soooo freaking scared" were ringing out loud and clear for all to hear. My internal dialogue was something like "And so you "freaking" should be" Some word/s might have been changed :)
The Gepatschspeicher reservoir lies at an altitude of approx. 1,770m, with a maximum reservoir volume of 138,000,000 m³, and is fed by countless surface and subsurface streams - as well as waterfalls. A breathtaking, but also noisy sight.
Large on black : to thank the two birds that agreed to go on the horizon line. Merci les deux oiseaux qui ont posé sur la ligne d'horizon.
