One of the most spectacular geologic features on Earth, Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona never fails to impress. Carved over the course of millions of years, the canyon averages 10 miles in width and 1 mile in depth. Resplendent with colorful layers and rugged textures, you’ll never forget your first sight of this incredible place. Photo by W. Tyson Joye, National Park Service.

I was there in 1982 and 1989. Like you wrote, LadyPorthos , it's an unreal word; majestic and marvelous! Here comes an image from Plitvice National Park, Croatia. Found on a page at www.naturescanner.nl/

Huacachina, PeruCatch a glimpse of this impressive desert oasis, built in the 1930s around an existing watering hole. Keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of the lake’s legendary resident, a mermaid.

Feldkirch AustriaNear Austria’s western border with Switzerland lies the magnificent city of Feldkirch, considered the capital of the picturesque district of Vorarlberg. During a tour of the city's ancient center and along its various streets, tourists are exposed to an ancient medieval setting that has been preserved in an astonishing way. The magnificent picture is completed by the great nature that surrounds the city and blends perfectly with the tranquility that characterizes it.

Lys and I drove through Feldkirch with our old Toyota Carina in July 2005 en route to Italy. It was a warm and sunny day; and the traffic went incredibly slow. But once in Liechtenstein, we crossed the entire country in 30 minutes! Sandstone columns in Zhangjiajie National Park, China.

The small town of Millstatt is considered by many to be one of the most spectacular destinations on the banks of the Millstätter See. Apart from its view of the Austrian Alps, the town offers a tour of its historic buildings, which reflect the architectural currents of the late 19th century in Austria, and a visit to an ancient Benedictine monastery.

The town of Heinfells was named after the great medieval castle that overlooks the nearby hills. The ruins of the castle, built in the 13th century, provide a glimpse into the distant past of Austria, where local nobles were required to defend themselves and the territories they controlled from invaders through high guard posts. The town itself offers a mesmerizing view of country houses that are far apart and harmoniously combine with the surrounding green tapestry.
