Beautiful places
Have you been to Tokyo? It used to be a small fishing village 550 years ago. And now it is really huge. This high-tech city’s population exceeds 12 million. Tokyo looks especially gorgeous at night. The photos below prove it.
Inspired by yesterday’s Awesome Autumn Pictures, today my husband and I decided to have a walk in the forest to enjoy the fresh air and have some real rest – no computers, no work, just nature. It’s a pity, we didn’t have the camera with us, as it was so beautiful in the forest, with all those red, yellow, green and brown leaves. It was amazing. I’d like to share the beauty of autumn with you, so here are pictures of autumn leaves - not taken by us, but anyway as beautiful, as it was today.
Beautiful Pictures of Autumn which I published about a year ago were liked by many visitors very much and still are one of the most popular posts on my blog. Those pictures are truly amazing. I’ve found more awesome autumn pictures and would like to share them with you, too.
There are so many beautiful places in the world, and there are also lots of bizarre ones. Some of them are remarkable for the unusual streets. For example, this is Lombard Street which is situated in San Francisco, a quite hilly city. This street is a 27 degree hill, moreover, it has eight “acute” turns. This makes Lombard Street the most twisting street in the US.
Here are some more photos of beautiful places from my photo collection - lakes and rivers of Canada. These are places I’d like to visit some day. When I look at these beautiful photos, I regret living in the city, far from fresh mountain air, really large lakes and fast mountain rivers. I wish I had a teleport to bring me there at least for a moment. But now I can only enjoy these pictures. The views are magnificent – you’ll surely like them, too.
I haven’t seen really high mountains “live” a lot. Maybe, this is why pictures with mountains, as it’s often sung in songs, literally take my breath away. Just look at these photos – aren’t these mountains magnificent? Don’t they make you want to go there some day by all means? As for me, it is so.
Yesterday you could enjoy the beautiful views of Canada – some pictures of the city and town mountains and water bodies. I’m sure, some of you have visited these beautiful places. Today I’d like to share a piece of Canadian nature with you – and these pictures are truly impressive.
Here are several beautiful pictures of Canada, the northern neighbor of the U.S. It’s the second largest country in the world after Russia. And in this huge country there are so many beautiful places.
I cannot but share some more awesome pictures of Alaska with you. There’s so much freshness in these photos! Enjoy pictures of beautiful mountains in Alaska.
You’ve already seen the beautiful pictures of Alaskan nature. Alaska can be so different due to its climate and location. I hope, you will like some more photos of this American state. They are really nice.
Alaska - though it’s the largest U.S. state, it is sparsely populated. Similar to Antarctica: the fewer people, the more beautiful the nature, this is why I decided to share some beautiful pictures of Alaskan nature with you. Long ago Alaska belonged to the Russian Empire, but 1867 it was sold for $7.2 million (converted to the “current dollars” the price was $102 million), well, it can be said, that Alaska was given as a gift. I’ve never been to Alaska, but I’m sure, it’s beautiful. I think, you will agree with me, when you see these wonderful pictures.
I visited France twice and came back home with the best impressions of this country. That wide variety of landscapes, those sights, the culture and the food – everything is pleasant. As for the former, there are several mountain ranges, which look very beautiful. There’s no need to name all of them, just the main mountain ranges of France - Alps and Pyrenees. For those, who are fond of hiking, skiing, mountain biking, this is the perfect place. Enjoy beautiful pictures of mountains and hills in France.
You can usually find different cities, towns, nature of countries, mountains and so on in category “Beautiful Places”. Today here are photos of very beautiful bridges, which are situated in different cities and towns of the world. Those bridges vary depending of their age, function and type, but all of them look awesome.
New York can be very different. Although it’s a huge business city, there can still be found many places to visit for both tourists and natives - many beautiful places to relax as well. Cars and skyscrapers and beautiful nature of the numerous parks, always lots of people… These photos show, how beautiful and varied New York is.
Elbrus is a mountain in South-West Russia located in the Caucasus Mountains. Elbrus is the highest mountain in Europe and one of the most beautiful European mountains as well. The height of Mount Elbrus is 5642 m (18 510 ft.). It’s just a perfect place for climbers. Elbrus summit provides a magnificent view of the entire Caucasus, which attracts photographers there. Here are some beautiful pictures and panoramas of Elbrus made by such extreme people. Enjoy!
New York is the largest and most populous city in the United States. It is one of the major centers of finance and commerce. Here, in New York, are some of the tallest buildings in the world. New York has lots of places to go to, this is why it’s visited by about 40 million tourists every year. These beautiful pictures are for those, who have never been in this huge city, and also for those, who live there and don’t notice, how magnificent it is. Enjoy!
