On the banks of the River Thames was founded by the Romans in 43rd The town was then fired several times, but finally it becames after all the largest city in the world (18th century).

Born in 1946, Yann Arthus-Bertrand has always been fond of nature. It was in the late 70s, in Kenya, while studying with his wife Anne the every day life of a pride of lions that, that he truly became a photographer. He understood that he had to tell the facts through images rather than words. He also discovered the beauty of the world seen from above when he became a hot air balloon pilot and began experimenting aerial photography.

This photo was taken at The Mono Lake in United States this year on my trip to US. I like the colours of the mountains and the way in front. The Mono Lake area is a great place for great shots and it is quite near to the Bodie State Historic Park. I’ll talk about my trip to Bodie in winter next time!

Zion National Park is a national park located in the Southwestern United States, near Springdale, Utah. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile park is Zion Canyon 15 miles long and up to half a mile deep, cut through the reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River. I was in Zion for only one day on my trip to the US, but it is the place where I want to go again.

One of the most interesting parts of Europe for the warmer weather enthusiasts is no doubt part of the southwestern Iberian Peninsula. Portugal and Spain have shared the romantic and rugged coastline, from which with some luck, you can see the outlines of black Africa. We went into this area to experience the spring in Portugal.

Are you looking for the place of your photographic dreams? Visit Antelope Canyon. You can walk for hours and take hundreds of great photos. This place is just amazing for every photographer. The rocks are changing from hour to hour with the changing light. Antelope Canyon is at once one of the most breathtaking and tranquil places on earth.  Gently carved from the Navajo sandstone over the course of countless millenniums, the slot canyons are majestic and narrow passages, just enough space for a small group to walk the sandy floor – and for the occasional shafts of sunlight to shine down from above.

A long time ago, herds of pronghorn antelope roamed freely in Antelope Canyon, which explains the canyon’s English name. It is not known exactly when people first discovered Antelope Canyon. According to local Navajos, who have lived here for some time, the canyon and the LeChee area were places where cattle grazed in winter.

To older Navajos, entering a place like Antelope Canyon was like entering a cathedral.  They would probably pause before going in, to be in the right from of mind and prepare the protection and respect.  This would also allow them to leave with an uplifted feeling of what Mother Nature has to offer, and to be in harmony with something greater than themselves.  It was (and is) a spiritual experience.

Antelope Canyon is definitely one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Try to visit it and take some photos. You’ll need your tripod!

One of my first photos from the USA 2010 trip. It was a beautiful time, great trip and 2,613 new photos in my Aperture gallery. It will take some tome to process it… This is one of the favorites from the trip. The shot is taken near Mono Lake.

“Earth! The most beautiful country I’ve ever seen!” is written in the logbook of Christopher Columbus in 1492, when his ship was reaching the Cuban shores. Cuba is a country that is very often presented in a rather distorted way today because of the political situation. My article covers the beautiful nature, rich culture and friendly people the largest island in the Caribbean.
