spectacular
beautiful in a dramatic and eye-catching way.

When the Banff Springs Hotel was built
this was the view from the staff quarters.
This spectacular view is now known as the
Million Dollar View
for good reason.

Snow in June surprised even the Canadians.
In 2007, this sight surprised me.
Dubai, in October, was still hotter
than Geelong in mid-summer.
Heat.

The view from
Gods Window
over the
Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve
South Africa
This window just had to be photographed.
It is the view out Buckland’s BnB, about a five-minute drive
from the Hobbit Movie Set near Matamata,
New Zealand
When booking our Rocky Mountaineer options…
…we decided to pay the extra for the Gold Leaf experience…
…as carriages with windows in the roof were
all that we had ever seen advertised.
The less expensive, Silver Leaf Carriages have a restricted view…
…with windows only in the sides of the carriage
and meals are eaten in your seat.
Gold Leaf guests have a downstairs dining room.
The above image shows one Gold Leaf Carriage
on the extreme right.
The lower row of windows is in the dining area.
The front 5 or 6 cars are Silver Leaf Carriages.

divine
I think it may have been divine intervention
that made this image possible.
Day 1 and the peak was covered in clouds
while we visited Denali National Park.
The next day as we were travelling to Fairbanks
our coach driver pulled over so
we could capture shots like this one, of
North America’s highest peak
Alaska’s, Mount Denali.

Golden Plains between
Geelong and the Western District.
And the views from…
…from God’s Window over South Africa’s
Blyde River canyon…
…can only be described as divine.

chill
All my chill images should have
provided us with a chilling experience…
…unfortunately, the opposite was true.
Although it was snowing on
Canada’s Athabasca Glacier in Alberta,
moving around kept us warm.
Even our visit to
Alaska’s Mendenhall Glacier
was undertaken in bright sunshine.
I must confess wearing more than
a cotton shirt on the
glacier visits though.
