Strikingly colored (and sulfur smelling) waters of the Furnas Lake, a beautiful volcanic lake surrounded by lush subtropical vegetation in the town of Furnas in the eastern part of the Sao Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal.
The Great Ridge, Peak District - England
In between Mam Tor and Lose Hill lays the Great Ridge, this old Roman road that once I explored by bicycle. I still remember sweating on the way up the 500m to get to the top, but the fast descends paid off the prize.

Photography is from Iceland where they have many churches and their own religion called Church of Iceland. I like this photo especially as it offers great black and white contrast, hope you will like it too.
Spectacular scenery my friend but you might want to extend the description a bit to meet the 30+ word requirement ;)
Hey @phortun thank you for reminding me :) I added few more words as I really like that photo as well.
Have a great Friday!
That time a quiet and windless place. Just you and trees dusted with some snow. This is the lesser-known mountain, Zimný (1080 meters above sea level), last Sunday, one of peaks in The Beskydy Mountains, Czechia.
View of the German city of Cologne, with its Gothic Cathedral and the Hohenzollern Bridge that crosses the Rhine River. The construction of the cathedral started in the 13th century and ended at the 19th century.
This photo was taken in a hiking trail called Greenway del lago di Como. It's a route that passes through a few historical villages on the margin of lake Como, in northern Italy. The sun was trying to break through the wall of clouds, providing a great setting with the church's tower standing above the other buildings and the other margin of the lake in the background.
On the trail of the ancient aqueduct (dated 1537) that served the city of Évora (Alentejo region, Southern Portugal), we can find magical places worthy of a fairy tale, with definitely a mystical aura...
PS: please, click on the photo to see it in full resolution
Cheers !!!
Lake Bled, situated at the foot of the Slovenian Julian Alps, is the most visited and most photographed place in Slovenia. This panoramic photo is taken from the viewpoint of Mala Osojnica.
The beach of Nazaré, Portugal is quite recent, until the 17th century, the town main economic activity was fishing as the sea came to strike the foothills, covering the entire area now occupied by the beach and the houses. In the 1960s, tourism developed and the city began to be known internationally, mainly because of its surf spot where the highest wave in the world was surfed, up to 30 meters high.
Here is one of the official ports from where you can take a Danube Delta Tour that will include no less than 8 hours on the water going to unique places and a flooded forest but also enjoy the lunch on a restaurant located on the water. :)
