Landscapes of the World

The world on canvas, beyond India: the white windmills of Oia over the Aegean, hot-air balloons rising over Cappadocia at sunrise, Mount Fuji behind a pagoda in cherry blossom and over Lake Kawaguchi in autumn, Tiger's Nest clinging to its cliff above the Paro valley in Bhutan, Machapuchare mirrored in Phewa Lake at Pokhara in Nepal, the vermilion gates of Fushimi Inari in Kyoto rain, the Yasaka Pagoda over the lanes of Higashiyama on a rainy evening and the wooden stage of Kiyomizu-dera above autumn maples, the Matterhorn mirrored in the Stellisee, Staubbach Falls dropping into the Lauterbrunnen valley, a still morning on Lake Brienz at Iseltwald, the northern lights over Kirkjufell in Iceland, red fishing cabins at Hamnoy under the winter peaks of Lofoten, Moraine Lake turning turquoise in the first light in Banff, the Grand Canal at dawn and gondolas at the Molo at sunset, Charles Bridge in Prague at dawn, Westminster against a Thames sunset, Paris in blue hour and spring rain, Positano stacked above the sea in the late afternoon sun, a cypress road winding through the Val d'Orcia in Tuscany, the rice terraces of Bali after rain, Ulun Danu Beratan in the morning lake mist and overwater villas in the Maldives at sunset. Where would you rather be?
