Seen 3 of those 5
This one in Miami was interesting I thought...especially as it was not in Europe and I was not expecting it.

And this stark one in Vienna, Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial - Wikipedia



And I remember the one in Paris at the end of Île de la Cité behind the Notre Dame de Paris. Very impressive and solemn place.

Can't find any good photos of it though, only this very old one from a boat on the Siene in '79.

Florence January 5 2011.

The Central Market is a two-level food market, making up the second half of the San Lorenzo Market. The Mercato Centrale is in a beautiful building designed by Giuseppe Mengoni, the same architect who designed the Galleria Vittoria Emanuele II, and built from 1870-74 when Florence was still capital of Italy. With cast iron and glass all around, the building mixes classic to the modern: the exterior is an ample, squat base made out of local pietra serena similar to the nearby Palazzo Medici Riccardi, with loggias and 10 arches on each side while the inside is spacious and bright with its glassed ceiling. It certainly recalls European architecture, most notably Parisian.

Had a short break to Undara Lava Tubes...some of the tubes have water in them which is a different look...You are not allowed to swim but can walk on the boardwalk and wade in.

We visited those 3 places last year. We were amazed by their beauty. We had never heard of any of those places until we started touring rural Queensland. We truly have some beautiful landscapes!

 

[jastel]

As a local I had been before 10 - 15 years ago, but needed a break so went for a drive to see what had changed and camped it...space in camping area but the 4 star train carraiges and accom was pretty heavily booked...so were the tours.

@jastel Yes we had to prebook all of the tours. The restored train carriages looked great. We were travelling in our caravan.
All the places were so interesting but the Cobbald Gorge tour was very special. Did you see the fresh water crocodiles?

 

[jastel]

Yes a baby one...but coming from Cairns we have 3m salties everywhere due to the fact we dont live in Brisbane nothing is done...we have lost so many freshwater swimming places.

 

[Flying Fox]

Well its been almost two years since I stepped foot onto a plane. So my unimpressive photos are my top three photos mainly because it was so exciting to be back in the air flying to good old Kangaroo Island.

Hi all

I was recently inspired by the amazing photos that were displayed in this thread -

Taken - Free Stuff - Who Wants to be a VA WP (Velocity Platinum)

Who wants to be a WP with VA. Over the past couple of years I have given away VA SG companion status but not WP so this is a first. I have no one to give it to, MrsM has the QF complementary WP and does not need or want this one. I have called the VA CC and they confirmed I am good to go. Like...

So many amazing photos taken by us as a group and I'm sure we would enjoy traveling through everyone's photos. Therefore, I though that I would start this thread with limited rules.

Post only the three photos from one round trip that you like best and share it with us all.

I look forward to seeing some amazing photos.
