Southern Jeju Island

Just at the corner of Jungmun there is Cheonjeyeon Falls, a beautiful park with three sets of waterfalls with each location accessible by paved trails. The trails themselves can get crowded during peak hours but there is room at nearly all of the waterfalls to set up even a large...

Oak Creek Canyon

The marked trail is a 6.4 mile round trip hike (3.2 miles each direction). The trail is a gorgeous walk through forests, broken up by crossing shallow mountain streams, and spotting occasional wildlife. While the entire walk is easy if you carry just a small bag with water/food, due to...

Sultanahmet at Night

Sultanahmet, Fatih is the district in Istanbul where you can find many of its most iconic sights. Aside from the Blue Mosque, the famous Hagia Sophia can be seen here. Capturing the immense building is difficult but with large crowds, other photographers and street merchants in the way, the building...

Blue Mosque at Night

The Blue Mosque is a commonly photographed landmark in Istanbul but the site to me really comes alive at night when many of the crowds have dispersed to their hotels, hostels and homes. While sunset/sunrise will afford you incredible views of the building, I found many other photographers crowding the...

Popular destination for many tourists and hikers, if offers a great sight of the artificial lake below....

Covered Bridges

There are several covered bridges in Vermont and New Hampshire. This one can be crossed, whereas some others are closed (sometimes only to car, sometimes to both car and pedestrians). Any touristic map of the region will list the other bridges. Of course, you should pay attention to crossing cars...

Siena Cathedral

Toscany is a region of Italy with a strong history. Siena is in the center of Toscany and its cathedral is impressive. Close to it, you can climb to a watchtower. The rules are strict: I don't remember all the details, but it is something like "you go to the...

Firenze Cathedral

The cathedral of Firenze is worth the visit. You can climb the campanile to see it and the city from above. Since it is a touristic place, you may want to go there early if you are visiting during the summer. Moreover you will avoid the heat and the strong...

Ponte Vecchio

This bridge may be one of the most famous in the world. It is interesting to cross (of course), but to capture it in full you need to be on another bridge. The "Ponte all Grazie" is the one where you want to go (on the East). The other one...
