We usually think of Norway and thank them for their superb, breathtakingly beautiful, and dreamy skies of endless colors known as the Northern Lights. A remarkable statement of beauty offering one of nature’s best ways of expression. And one to let us know to protect it. Reine houses a beautiful fishing village on the island of Moskenesoya above the arctic circle. It caters to dramatic mountains and peaks, an open sea and sheltered bays, beaches, and untouched lands. This place is an absolute gem for those within to discover hidden parts yet to be photographed. Truly mind-blowingly beautiful.

An incredibly remote mountain in the middle of serenity. The mountain is dubbed the “Horny mountain” from the word “Horn” in Icelandic, reflecting the resemblance of a bull with his horns from either side. The peninsula connects a total of three horn mountains, Vestrahorn, Brunnhorn, and Eytrahorn all east of Iceland around the Hvalnes or whale peninsula. You will find remote lighthouses, small wooden houses, and the glorious infinite beauty of untouched nature. Movies have been made using magnificent backdrops and thousands of photographs both amateurs and professionals tempted their fate with getting the award-winning picture of the year. No wonder why.

Halong Bay, Vietnam

Halong Bay in northeast Vietnam is known for its emerald blue waters and thousands of towering limestone islands topped by rainforests. As a result, it comes as no surprise that this has become part of the UNESCO world heritage listing. It took 500 million years of tropical downpours to create one of the most epic sceneries known to mankind. Breathtaking. Interestingly enough, one will see many water fishing villages where most live, and not necessarily on land. 2000 or so people live on the island making it rather inhibited making a photo opportunity a dream. It an almost Hollywood blockbuster without any CGI modification.

Luberon, France

If you’re from Europe and cannot justify getting all the way to Colorado, USA, then the National Park in the Luberon will do the trick. Take a picture standing by the red rocks, and make your friends believe you’ve traveled thousands of miles. The Luberon is known for its Provencal never-ending fields of violet lavender most of us have in pictures or as a screensaver on our work computers calming us when the pressure’s on. But also for the atypical nuances of reds, oranges, mauve and browns are all palette colors you’ll see and experience in the park.

These lush twin volcanic peaks rising from the Caribbean sea are St. Lucia’s most incredible and famous sights.

Gros Piton is the tallest peak to climb at just over 2600 feet and easy to climb to get a near-perfect unobstructed view of the island.
