Where in the world......................

[JohnP]

....................... have you been that is that special place. A place that you would like to visit again and again. I have been to quite a few places that I would like visit again including the Amazon and Cuba. However there is somewhere much closer that has a special place in my heart and that is the Canary Island of La Palma, I have been six times and I would love to go again in the future... health permitting... I've had a couple of problems recently. It's unlike any of the other Canary Islands and I've been to six of them. La Palma is very unspoiled and very beautiful. To go to the highest point at 7,960 feet above sea level and spend some time just sat there taking it all in is awesome. Of course the weather can be a bit unpredictable at that altitude so it's a case of fingers crossed. I'll start this off with this image and add more images if you lot will keep the thread going with your favourite places.

This shot of the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbour Hawaii, the place is really worth a visit should you ever get to this part of the world...

[JohnP]

An unusual shape, is it actually floating on the water?

[JHFoto]

Yes it is anchored over the wreck the rusty bit you see on the right of the image is part of the Arizona...

One of my favourite places - the hills above the village of Dwygfylch on the North Wales coast. Great Orme is in the background.

 

Let's see a few more favourite places. Go on, you know you want to!

It's a shame so many people had to die to create this scene.

Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island, given that name as the Bacardi Ads were shot there)

 

 

[JohnP]

That looks very peaceful Richard!

La Palma may be a volcanic island but it is green.

For me a special place is the Dome des Invalides, Paris. Heaped in history and a wonderful piece of architecture.

Those people in the first shot certainly show the scale, I didn't realise it was so big.

[JHFoto]

In comparison to a lot of the buildings in Manhattan Liberty is tiny..........

[JohnP]

Another place I quite like is Kefalonia... I've been there twice. I took this in Fiskardo in the north of the island.

Honestly, and this is just my opinion, there is no place on earth like good ole Blighty. I've seen plenty of it but still more to do, given the choice I'd end my days in Scotland.
