Sunset in New Mexico

Santa Fe, New Mexico

This stunning sunset was taken looking over the desert in Santa Fe, New Mexico in November 2010. There isn't much more to say about it as it kind of speaks for itself...

 

Sacré-Cœur Basilica, Paris

Sacré-Cœur Basilica, Paris

Perhaps one of my favourite buildings in the world, Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris stands on a hill overlooking the city of love. And on a summers day, like when I visited, there is nothing more spectacular than sitting on the grass at the bottom of the steps will a bottle of red and soaking up the sun.

Manhattan, New York City

Manhattan, New York City

This glorious view over the city of Manhattan was taken from the the observation deck of the Rockefeller Centre in New York City. Choosing to ride the elevator in the late afternoon, we were able to see Big Apple in daylight, sunset, and after dark with the city lights. If you want to do this, plan ahead as they have scheduled entry times to cope with tourists. This photo is looking south and yes that is the Chrysler Building sticking out in the middle.

The Three Sisters, Blue Mountains

The Three Sisters, Blue Mountains

These three rock formations are known as The Three Sisters, situated in the Blue Mountains, north-west of Sydney. While visiting friends in Sydney a couple of years ago, we escaped the busy city and found ourselves amongst the beautiful mountains. It was quite and tranquil and the perfect day trip from central Sydney.

Zizkov Tower, Prague

Zizkov Tower, Prague

 This intriguing building is Zizkov Tower, a TV Transmitter in the centre of Prague. Sculptor David Cerny created the giant babies in 2000 as a temporary installation and in 2001, they were made a permanent fixture on the building. The view from inside the tower is just as interesting as the one from below with 360 degree views over central Prague (for a small fee) and also features a restaurant, bistro and bar.
