Love this thread at a time of worry plus boredom, so I registered to add my own three. These are of China's Great wall at Badaling, taken in 2007. What makes them special is the lack of air pollution (it was a very windy day) and the lack of people crowding out the many shots I took.View attachment 215458 View attachment 215459 View attachment 215460

Great shots.

Sometimes it is the simplest of things, I love both of these photos taken by hubby. The flowers are my ipad screen saver and the dogs I have made into a canvas for the wall (drives our cat batty)

That's only 2 pics, Pushka. The rules say THREE holiday photos, so you face DSQ if you don't come up with another one quickly.

While I have hundreds of favourite holidays perhaps visiting family inthe Congo was the most exciting! Especially the10 minute flight on board an Ethiopian Dreamliner between Kinshasha in the DEC and Brazzaville in the Congo that barely rose above the mighty Congo River..

Last year my husband and I travelled to Georgia (the country). It was an astonishingly beatiful and fascinating place. Sadly, also still quite impoverished as well.

One of our favorite round the world trips was a first class trip including Machu Picchu, Antarctica, Florida Keys and India

The photos posted above are fantastic, thanks.

These photos are from March 2020 which seem like another world away.

Monument Valley 2015 - took this one with a remote from about 100m away.

This is where Tom Hanks decided to end his run in "Forrest Gump".

Horseshoe Bend- for size comparison you can just see the wake of a small boat on the river at lower LHS

Between work obligations in Amsterdam and Klosters last July, I managed a quick trip to the battlefields in northern France and Belgium to see our boys. They’ve been there for over 100 years and want them to know we remember them.
