Abiyoyo Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 My first image for this month’s theme is from a country that unfortunately I will not come back in my life due to the dangerous to be there, stupid religious fundamentalism reasons.

NYCat Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Jorge, I found this such an intriguing place. I Googled it and didn't find very much. I used to have a neighbor whose family was from Yemen and I wish I had asked her more about it. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 My third shot is of a favourite place close to home, English Bay in Vancouver. I can walk to this location from where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulette This place is in https://www.google.es/maps/place/Alhajrain,+Yemen/@15.4909249,48.3385134,2357m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x3de44b401be22f27:0xa622c826b7249c47 It is the town of Al Hajrain, in the Wadi Dawan, in Hadhramaut Yemen. Wonderful scenery around this Wadi. Pity that this beautiful country, and ever better people, cannot be travelled safely at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I was seriously thinking of just picking my best shots (whatever that is) from around the world, because I love all the places I've traveled to. I even had some contenders from my home city of Toronto. But in my heart of hearts, what I really love are the Rocky Mountains, Banff in particular. So my three selections are basically of the same place - Vermillion Lakes near Banff with Mount Rundle, Sulfur Mountain at sunrise, and evenings. Panorama of red sunrise over Second Vermillion Lake in Banff Alberta Evening light on third Vermillion Lake with Mount Rundle and Sulphur Mountain Sulfur mountain yellow evening breakthrough light Nice! I am hoping to be able to get there next year. i certainly have the airmiles just need to make sure the funds for the rest of it are there Hey Jools, if you go, try to rent a car because there are a lot of mountains and lakes to see along the Icefields parkway. I usually fly to Calgary and drive from there - lots to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Seeing all these awesome entries & comments, I so appreciate how Colin's theme "My Favourite Place" has likely led to entries with added layer of meaning than (something along lines of) "My Favourite Photo of a Place" would have.

LarsMadsen Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Well... I enjoy it whenever I get a chance to visit other places and countries but to be honest I think home in Southern Jutland (Vejle-Billund area) in Denmark is my favorite place of all...

Pearl Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Cwm Idwal in Snowdonia, Wales. There is just something about this place, a timelessness which is awe inspiring. One feels so small amongst the rocks and yet part of a bigger picture. One of my friends seen here walking later got Parkinson's and has since died but the mountains which have been here for millions of years will still be here when we are long gone. Rather humbling. Crib Goch on the Snowdon Horseshoe. An exhilarating walk/scramble which leaves you with such a sense of achievement. The best place to be after a long day in the mountains. A chance for the old joints to recover. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
