The island´s land area occupies some 56 sq km (22 sq mi) a vast majority of which is still uninhabited, covered with pristine nature consisting of lush tropical vegetation, spotless white powdery beaches and incredibly clear and warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. What a place to explore! :)

@jpphotography African Wednesday entry:

Footsteps in the Sand - Sahara, Morocco. Before I went there myself, I thought that there could not be any exciting landscapes in the Sahara, just a lot of sand. I could not have been more wrong, the steadily changing sand dunes form one of the most amazing landscapes that I have ever seen!

The Dragon tree is the most mysterious and interesting tree on Tenerife. It is believed that the trees live for hundreds of years, although dating them precisely is not possible as they don’t have any annual tree rings.

Picture taken in Greece, I specifically flew there to see this amazing place)!

April 23th is St. George Day. It is a very special occasion in Catalonia and specially in Barcelona, the whole city is plenty with Catalonian flags. It is a custom to give a rose as a gift in this day; some of the buildings show some roses decoration as it is in the case of this photo. It corresponds to the iconic Casa Batlló built by Gaudí. The giant roses in the façade of the building are artificial.

Fountain in Zagreb, Croatia

Constructed at the end of the 19th century, the art pavilion is one of Zagreb's most beautiful buildings. My wide angle lens enabled me to capture this shot of a fountain in front of the yellow building.

The rather ominous looking Tower Bridge in London at Dawn. The clouds formed a perfect roof over the city this day and commuters stopped to take photos of this iconic silhouette.

The Berlin concert hall and the French and German Churches, You dont see the german one - which is hidden on the right. But it looks just like the french one. Gendarmenmarkt was first built in 1688 as expansion of the emerging Berlin back then.

Picture taken in a beautiful village of Burano, which is one of the small colorful villages that you can reach with the water tram while traveling to Venezia! In the background you can see the Burano Leaning Bell Tower that's a part of Church of St. Martin Bishop.

Venice, Italy

I stayed in Venice ten years ago. I've long since forgotten what the channel or palace is called. Only the overall positive impression remained. Venice is a city with a unique atmosphere.
But I'm afraid to go back there. Global warming. The water level is likely to rise. I want to remember Venice as it was.
