Nagasaki night view

I'm adding this picture of the Amber Fort in Jaipur as World Elephant Day is tomorrow. It was my next stop after Ranthambore Park as well. This trip encompassed so many varied destinations. It was a difficult, but an outstanding itinerary.

There are demonstrations occurring in the city as the day grows near. I will let you read the article.

I first saw elephants in Asia where they are used as working beats of burden. It seemed so common place I gave the practice little thought until I went to Africa and saw the gentle giants in the wild. My thoughts changed and it is nice to see that the Indian people are demanding change

View on the mountains from surroundings of the Cinque Torri formation :)

The Dolomite Mountains (the Dolomites) are a mountain range in northeastern Italy, part of the Southern Limestone Alps. They are in the regions of Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The Dolomites are mostly made up of exposed rocks – limestones and dolomites and partly – rhyolites. These mountains are characterized by very picturesque terrain caused by their erosion and they are considered one of the most attractive mountain landscapes in the world. A large number of jagged ridges, peaks and rock towers, very steep slopes, cliffs and large vertical rock walls of several hundred meters, deep valleys and karst phenomena create a spectacular landscape. On 26 June 2009, the Dolomites were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Widok na góry z okolic formacji skalnej Cinque Torri :)

Dolomity – pasmo górskie w północno-wschodnich Włoszech, część Alp Wschodnich, leżące w regionach Trydent-Górna Adyga i Wenecja Euganejska. Dolomity w dużej części składają się z odkrytych skał – wapieni i dolomitów oraz częściowo – riolitów. Góry te charakteryzują się bardzo malowniczą rzeźbą terenu spowodowaną ich erozją i uważane są za jeden z najatrakcyjniejszych krajobrazowo obszarów górskich na świecie. Duża liczba poszarpanych grani, turni i baszt skalnych, bardzo stromych stoków, urwisk oraz wielkich kilkusetmetrowych pionowych ścian skalnych, głębokich dolin i zjawisk krasowych tworzy spektakularny krajobraz. W 2009 roku Dolomity wpisano na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.

A view from Corcovado where the Jesus statue is located in Rio de Janeiro Brazil

The most popular attraction of Corcovado mountain is the statue and viewing platform at its peak, drawing over 300,000 visitors per year. From the peak's platform the panoramic view includes downtown Rio, Sugarloaf Mountain, the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas (lake), Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, Estádio do Maracanã (Maracanã Stadium), and several of Rio's favelas. Cloud cover is common in Rio and the view from the platform is often obscured. Sunny days are recommended for optimal viewing.

Notable past visitors to the mountain peak include Charles Darwin, Pope Pius XII, Pope John Paul II, Alberto Santos-Dumont, Albert Einstein, Diana, Princess of Wales, and General Sherman, among others. An additional attraction of the mountain is rock climbing. The south face had 54 climbing routes in 1992. The easiest way starts from Park Lage.

Thought a warmer view was needed given the cold conditions here in the USA ... I checked the weather there in Banff right now, and it was just a little warmer there versus here in Maryland ... might be a good place to move given the pretty scenery and warmer temps :))

Canary Wharf seen from near Shadwell Basin. The Thames bends a lot and the towers are on the same side of the river as this viewing point.

Old Harry Rocks, Jurassic Coast, UK

View form Trail Ridge Road (highest continuous paved road in the US reaching elevation of 12,183 feet), Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Driving on this road is little nerve wrecking, but in the end rewarded by breathtaking scenery. Changing elevation takes you from tree lines to alpine tundra which has very fragile ecosystem. Weather up top is ever changing and highly unpredictable. I will add some more shots next few days as I continue to process them.

The best view comes after the hardest climb

Not too far from Chittagong Airport is a nice waterfront strip along the banks of the Karnaphuli River. There were boats and ships moored everywhere but this was one of the few days where the sun didn't shine and it was overcast and very hazy but there was enough colour to lift the mood a little.

If you like 'architectural' views, go to Greenwich, London. Here, through one of the the front windows of Queen's House, and onto one of the domes of the Old Royal Naval College and then, across the Thames, to the business buildings of Canary Wharf. Just in front of Queen's House, an ice rink has been built - pure joy during the winter.

A great place to view sunrise on Lake Bomoseen

View from the Skylodge pod on the side of a mountain in the Sacred Valley of Peru. We had to climb up 400 meters of via ferrata to get to this awesome experience.
