Dryads

makes you wonder about some ancient Greek myths....

Unseen Sahara

My close friend Alf Seegert sent me this one:

Unseen Sahara
A rare aerial look at Libya's remote Fezzan region, where ancient societies thrived and collapsed as the rains came and went.

Russian Bridge

I have no idea what this bridge is called or where exactly it is (somewhere in Russia I'm pretty sure), but apparently you are supposed to pray 3 times before you cross it. I can see why!

Batu Cave Temple

Batu Cave Temple near Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia

Cummins Lakes

Cummins Lakes in British Columbia, Canada, are two lakes fed by an upper waterfall and then connected by a waterfall in between them. Pretty darned kewl, I'd say (and I do).

Nachi Shrine and Waterfall

Nachi Falls (那智滝, Nachi no Taki) in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, is one of the best-known waterfalls in Japan.

The three Mountain Shrines of Kumano, including Hongu, Nachi, and Shingu, are part of the Kumano Kodu path.

Angkor Wat

The ruins of the ancient city of Angkor Wat in the forests of Cambodia.

Tikal

The evocative ruins of the Mayan city of Tikal in the forest of Guatemala, shrouded in mist. (These were used in the film Star Wars).

Chebika Oasis

Chebika Oasis, Tunisia

Another Roger Dean kind of place.

Seoraksan

Seoraksan, South Korea

This image in particular is very evocative. I can't help but imagine dragons nesting in these peaks....
