Thank you for this , Ms. Z!

I could never have come to a decision, if i had to choose just one!

Thank you for this. I viewed all the photos with awe.

After a frustrating evening at my town council meeting in which the majority of Council members voted against grass-roots democracy, it is good to be reminded of the real beauty of this world. No matter how small people can be, the world is full of grandeur.

WOW! Thank you too.

The photos are beautiful, nevertheless we mustn't overlook the context. I don't know what it means, if anything, but I don't think any of the photos came from the US. Certainly it can't be that the USA isn't beautiful or doesn't have great photographers. Maybe the US is the intended audience and the Lonely Planet travel guide makes money by getting folks from the USA to travel to elsewhere.
I do find it objectionable that a travel guide is featuring photos of Burma/Myanmar, no matter how beautiful, and by so doing appears to be trying to entice visitors there at a time when many are urging a boycott due the the human rights abuses of the military government.

Nice pics collection. I really do like it..

Very spirited uplifting photos. Breath taking. Thanks for sharing. Yes, there was one photo from the US - the coastline of Monterey, California.
