Please note that I also have a site with a few thematic photo galleries.
One of them shows different landscape forms:

Very quiet: dromedaries are waiting for tourists.

Quite decorative, but slightly less colourful lighting would have been more to my taste: the city hall of Montreal at night.

Even the “gothic” cathedrals are less old than they look. Still, the contrasts are truly photogenic: small, “medieval” churches in the shadow of modern skyscrapers.

One of the nicest ways of crossing from Argentina into Chile is the “Paso Hua Hum” a combined bus and boat trip. You then come through the area of the “seven lakes”.
This picture was taken in Panguipulli, a small but pleasant town.

You find pictures from Australia over at the main site:

Australia I Sydney: Sydney Opera House; Skyline; Sydney Harbour Bridge The Red Heart: Ulara; Ayer’s Rock; Alice Springs Kuranda: Grass; "Sun bird"   Australia II North of the Centre: Katherine river; Kookaburra; bats at Mataranka; Cooinda: birdlife; Salt water crocodiles in the Adelaide river; Kakadu National Park; traditional aboriginal drawings, snake.   Australia III Kakadu National Park: bush fire; lovers under a stone cross; Darwin: in a pub; trees; "outdoor" painting; sunset

More pictures (by other photographers) at the guest gallery. If you have beautiful pictures of your own, why not submit them? Laurenz

This is very close to the small temple in the last image.

my slides, I exactly remember a place but not its name.
Where did I come across this small temple? it must have been near Aswan (Egypt) and the head of Hathor is clearly visible on the left. Maybe it was on Bigga island. So, if anyone here knows the answer, please tell me!

Koh Samui in the morning.

Parque Nacional “Los Glaciares”: Moreno - Glacier.

A fascinating short trek leads to the Torres del Paine, but unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable.
When we arrived there, the famous peaks were barely visible in the fog.
Still it surely was worth the effort: the Torres del Paine National Park has so much to offer, including crystal clear lakes and many wild animals.

again: El Tatio. Here, ice and steam are really close.

High up in the Chilean Andes, at about 4000 meters, there is a famous geyser: El Tatio.
In the early morning, this is a truly magical place with ice, steam and many colours.
However, this spectacle only lasts for a short time, a few hours after sunrise there isn’t really much to see.
This is why many travelers leave San Pedro de Atacama at night and reach the place before sunrise.
It’s worth it. Take some hot beverages and warm clothes - it can be bitterly cold with temperatures well below 0.

Seems you have to wait for a while until someone takes your order. In any case, I’ve seen more inviting restaurants!

If New York has any such thing as a “city center”, then it would be the area around Grand Central Station.

It is fascinating how the colours change with the time of day. This also is the Chrysler building, this time the photo was taken from the Empire State Building in the evening.

Maybe the most attractive skyscraper in New York.

In Harlem many shop doors are decorated with colourful paintings by Franco, a local artist.

It’s only a matter of perspective: from aboard the ferry, even the New York skyline seems to be quite small.
