Travel Forum / Destinations / USA and Canada / January 2006Interesting or beautiful places
As a photographer who runs his own website www.picturesforwalls.com. I am always on the look out for places of natural beauty/interest to photograph. Having just returned from a shoot in Rio De Janerio, I was immediately struck by the beauty of the place. I am looking to book trips for the upcoming year and was would be keen to hear from travellers as to suggestions of where to photograph next. Please could you give details of location, how you got there, any diffculties or obstacles that needed to be overcome. I am particularly keen to hear about places off the usual track so to speak Cheers Mike www.picturesforwalls.com > Please could you give details of location, how you got there, any > diffculties or obstacles that needed to be overcome. Crater Lake in Oregon, the week before Memorial Day, is the most beautiful natural sight I've ever seen . . . repeatedly over the decades. ___________________________________________________________________ A San Franciscan who's visited 49 of 50 US states. < http://geocities.com/dancefest/ >-< http://geocities.com/iconoc/ > ICQ: < http://wwp.mirabilis.com/19098103 > ---> IClast at SFbay Net Hi, last June I drove from Vancouver eastwards to the Rockies in Alberta, then up the Icefield Parkway to Jasper, back west to the coast at Prince Rupert. Then I took the ferry to Vancouver island and drove down to Victoria. I took nearly 400 photographs, some of which I have framed. It was a life-changing experience, and I mean to go back and do it again sometime! It was absolutely awesome. For something less grand, there is some very beautiful stuff here in England - although smaller, of course! Barb UK > As a photographer who runs his own website www.picturesforwalls.com.

I drove over 3,000 miles altogether, and if you look at a map you will see this covers a huge variety of landscape and all the towns were lovely, without exception - each different in its own way. I completely fell for Vancouver! I took pictures all the way through. I haven't put any pictures on the net - I took them at high resolution and there are a few hundred megabytes. When I get time, I intend to do a selection of the best ones and put them online. A couple of people have actually used some of them in their material and as framed pictures. If you're thinking of doing something similar, go for it! You won't regret it.

Tim > Hi Tim, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Barb UK Hi again Tim. I visited the northern Northumberland coast in September a couple of years ago, and did some trips inland too. I found it very moody and dramatic, and would certainly go again. The southwest coast is good, but not particularly easy to get to. Derbyshire and the Lake District are good, but the Scottish Highlands and Skye are probably my favourites for mountains. I'm not particularly fond of most British cities these days. I think they are crowded, cluttered, sprawling and difficult to navigate (must be a nightmare for foreigners!) and often not particularly clean. We do make up for it, though, with some gorgeous old buildings and cathedrals. I'm in Staffordshire, and there's some very beautiful country just north of the county, and I spend a lot of time on Cannock Chase. I'm "doing" the Pacific Coast from Seattle to San Diego in the summer - so I hope to get some more pictures! What do you reckon to be worth a visit here?

The trip along the Skeena River is truly magnificent as are Banff and Jasper national parks. ___________________________________________________________________ A San Franciscan in (where else?)
