The world is an awesome planet! Thank you for showing some of it in these fantastic pictures!

They're all amazing pictures. Not only the views, the moment and the lighting were perfect on each photo.
I have a complaint though. The picture of Ushuaia says Ground of fire and it's Tierra del Fuego. It shouldn't have been translated. Besides the right translation is Land of fire.

James Wolfenstein

They had these full sized in Millenium Park in Chicago four years ago. I saw them three times. There is a book. Totally worth anyone's money:
