Balloon over Luxor
A balloon rises from the west bank of the Nile, a few minutes before daybreak.
This photo was taken from the same position as the previous one (Tokina zoom at 400 mm + 1,7 tele extender).

Colca Canyon
For a long time, it was believed that the Colca Canyon was the deepest canyon on earth, but it turned out that the nearby Cotahuasi Canyon is even deeper. In any case, the Colca Canyon is an attraction and walking there is a unique experience. It is quite a strenuous effort, however, - after all it is situated at a height of approximately 3500 meters and acclimatisation is essential. More on the Colca Canyon at Wikipedia.
