Some breathtaking pictures indeed! To bad for the recent flood in Vernazza,Italy, I planned to visit it this year, in about 2 weeks, but now there is a huge mess. Hopefully they will quickly recover.

You have the wrong picture for Boracay PhIippines. The picture you have is of Twin lagoons of Coron island also in the Philippnes.

So beautiful! Thanks for sharing these; I especially loved the shot of Gifford Pinchot National Forest. For one of our favorites, we went to Cambodia (LOVED Angkor Wat & Angkor Thom, by the way) and Thailand in 2009, and wanted to share a 360 we took of Sukhothai: http://www.fullscreen360.com/sukhothai-thailand. If you have a chance to go here, I’d definitely recommend it.

Vernazza Italy (“Rocky Village”) was inundated by flowing mud (a collapsed hillside was the cause) about a month ago. The mud filled the entire town to the first story landings and filled the harbor also. This beautiful place has been evacuated and may never recover. Search YouTube for videos of the disaster.

I’m a huge fan of the Whanganui River in New Zealand. Even more spectacular from the water level!

Thanks for the great shots.

Beautiful pics, would also maybe include Vic Falls and Table Mountain in Africa to these
Nov 22, 2011 @ 01:16:09
Agreed that Boracay is a must visit, however that is not a picture of Boracay, that is likely a picture of Palawan, Philippines which is also beautiful
Nov 23, 2011 @ 05:14:08
Simply amazing places all over the world which you can say life will never ends, especially Boracay and Palawan. Enjoy the sunset, sunlight and the full moon at the top of this cool breeze air.

Whoa, that pic of the Rice Field Terraces in Yunnan, China is epic! It looks shopped. I am not saying that it is shopped, just amazing to think it naturally looks like that. Thanks for the post.

Vernazza is one of the five very beautiful villages in cinque terre, italy. Been there for a several times, and it is a big pleasure every time! Just love it! All the cities have wonderful paths for foot walking between everyone, with an amazing view! Recommended!
Nov 23, 2011 @ 18:10:08
Those places are amazing! My favorite photo is the one of the Rice Field in China. I’d love to go there some time.
Nov 24, 2011 @ 02:51:56

I can say – Whanganui River in New Zealand was a starter to the biggest shift in my life.
If you listen to the Land in New Zealand, you’ll understand the most exciting secrets about yourself.

… So happy to hear that Luiza
Nov 27, 2011 @ 01:24:07
Hi Alexander, great choices! I’d suggest also:
1 – Pamukkale in Turkey (it has to be in this list!)
2- Cayo Largo del Sur in Cuba… Surreal blue..
3 – Valley of Love in Turkey
Thanks for sharing, Ana.
Nov 27, 2011 @ 10:06:04
… Thanks Ana, I will update the list!
Nov 27, 2011 @ 03:49:22
A famous newspaper here in Brazil talked about your article. Your list is beyond words. So many beautiful places. Have you visited Fernando de Noronha? What did you think? I live close, but never got the chance to go. Maybe in my next vacation.
Great list, Alexander! Thanks for that!
Nov 27, 2011 @ 10:09:39
… Thanks Isabella I was so happy when i heard that! About Fernando de Noronha, …..I’v never visit that place but now for sure it’s on my Bucket List! Hugs
Nov 27, 2011 @ 12:26:18
Greece’s picture is really perfect i wish one day i could see it by myself! i’m from brazil and proud to see fernando de noronha on your list! =D
Nov 27, 2011 @ 21:42:05
I thought Lower Lewis River Falls picture was Ithica NY. There is a very similar looking scene around Taughannock Falls. Very nice pictures. I’d love to visit those falls in China.
Nov 29, 2011 @ 12:26:38
Wow, gorgeous! You’re inspiring me to travel even more than I already do. I particularly like the photos of China.
Nov 29, 2011 @ 14:56:40
I love the way you describe each photo as a place within a country, and then you just say “Norway”. Should I be assuming that all of Norway is fantastic? I would believe you.
Dec 02, 2011 @ 07:13:48
Great photos. Added to: http://travellers-corner.com/index.php?c=284

Dec 02, 2011 @ 23:19:34
Giant’s Causeway, Ireland!
Dec 04, 2011 @ 12:50:06
Wow….out of all those places I have only been to two! And I though I was well travelled!
Dec 06, 2011 @ 23:43:13

Dec 15, 2011 @ 12:16:15
that a beautiful place..
i hope a will be there some day..
thanks for your picture..
Dec 20, 2011 @ 20:32:46
Great pictures and list. I also laughed at the “Norway” caption (re: Dex above) but as a Brit living here for some 12 years I can tell you that pretty much all of Norway is indeed fantastic…
Jan 04, 2012 @ 10:59:57
Sono delle foto magnifiche, davvero non saprei dire qual’è la più bella!!
Feb 13, 2012 @ 00:31:47

The picture of Etretat in France look so surreal!

Favorite has to be Croatia. I never knew the country had such a beautiful coastline until I discovered Dubrovnik. Buenisimo!
Jul 28, 2012 @ 05:43:20
You might want to check your location for Boracay, Philippines might be Palawan, Philippines?
