This thread is for photos of beautiful landscapes anywhere in the world. There can also be buildings in these landscapes (if they are of historical value or typical of a country).
Please don't reveal what or where the landscapes are just under the photo, but in a spoiler, so that readers can challenge themselves and guess what the photos represent. If credits are given where you find the photos, add them to the spoiler too.
Have fun, and enjoy your trip around the world!

I've always loved this photo, it is actually of my son & his wife inside a cave in NZ.
No fancy camera equipment, no fancy lighting effects.
They said it was magical to see, but getting to this cave wouldn't be for everyone (read: me)
They had a personal guide and apparently it took 5-7 hours or some such ridiclous time, abseiling and crawling through narrow sections. No toilet breaks.
I'll show you some of what it takes to get there.
I'm not much of a photographer and I haven't captured how great the view was from here. It's China and I've tried to blank out the face of a friend.
It was seriously hot that day, 37c and not a blade of shade, heat bouncing off the bricks. I could only take about 30 minutes of climbing upwards in that heat and headed down soon afterwards.
But I remember that view.
