Mont St Michel

Guest Post: Miki Noguchi

I was just going through some old photos and found this one I took on my road trip to Mont St Michel in France a few years ago. We barely made it there in my old clunker car (I’m not exaggerating on how unreliable it was), so when we finally got into view of it, we made sure to stop and quickly get a picture just in case we didn’t make it all the way there! I took this on regular film and had the pictures put onto a CD when I got them developed, so the quality isn’t that great. Sorry! I was way behind in the whole digital camera trend and just got one last year.

A little Japanese Garden

Guest Post: Miki Noguchi
The view down from my balcony is of my landlord’s backyard, where they have a little Japanese garden. At night, there are little lights that run through it. This was taken by a friend of mine who was visiting me and loved to stand out there and look at the garden.

The hills of Hadjic

A breathtaking view theme is not possible without mention of Bosnia.
This was taken in Hadjic outside Sarajevo last year.

Gamla Torget

This is what I see every morning going out
from my Institution in Uppsala, Sweden.

Rugged beauty


I bet there'd be only a handful places on this planet as mesmerizing as this one (if there would really be any!!!) - the Satpara Lake in northern Pakistan.

Musqat


This picture is taken from the wonderful garden at the Grand Mosque in Musqat, Oman.

Clouds

The hills around Murree, Pakistan, with clouds flying low.

Natural Beauty

Maroon Lake in Aspen, Colorado, USA, is the most photographed spot in that state. It is a glacier lake and sits below the snow-capped Maroon Bells in the distance.

Somewhere over the rainbow . . .

This picture was taken at one of the most beautiful places I have seen on earth, "Kel", in the Pakistani controlled part of Kashmir. Unfotunately this is a hot zone and not everyone has the chance to or is allowed to see this amazingly beautiful place. Among snow capped mountains, green hills covered with wild flowers and the rainbow you can see a bomb shelter right next to the house, every dwelling had one with it because you never knew when the bombs would come flying in.

Prinsengracht, Amsterdam

Canal city - Amsterdam.

Blue Pacific


One of my favorite views: the Pacific Ocean between San Francisco and Stinson Beach - a small resort north of S.F. on Highway One.

sinai morning..


taken by a guy called max morron but especially for me with his 12MP digicam - this was the view from where i rested my head in the bed in my bungalow in the sinai.. i need to add there were more windows and doors to the bungalow with the same view and i slept with them all open.. at night the blue was replaced with an equally breathtaking diamond crusted starry sky and glow fish swimming at the water's edge..

the approaching storm


The scene from my backyard in Toronto, Ontario a few days ago. We've had a few downpours recently and I love a good thunderstorm (as long as I'm safe & dry inside)!
