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!

This should be really easy, but I still like it because it has a personal meaning for me...

(I have to go out for a few hours, but I will be back soon.)

No need for spoilers.

 

Hovering over the pic tells us.

 

You'll have to rename your pics in your hard drive before posting.

 

Although......no-one is going to know where Gina's house is, especially without the spoiler.

It appears that most images are renamed automatically  (username + a number) when uploaded apart from jpg images. A spoiler can contain more information anyway (maybe also credits because it takes some effort to become a good photographer), but sometimes people might want some privacy, like nicnacs_4U. When people post personal photos they might not want to share the location, that's why she didn't add the spoiler I think. It is still a beautiful photo and certainly a great location to have a house.

What a wonderful idea for a thread.

 

 

 

All of these pictures are lovely, but I really fell in love with two of them in particular, for their different beauties: papermoon's and kopenhagen's. The ancient ruins in a glorious landscape versus glacier-blue pools against white rock... They have stolen the breath from my body.

No, you will not see the name of this wonderful lake by hovering!
