I took this in Sweden. The light and colors where really nice.

This shot was taken near Trogir in Croatia, not far from Split. This hidden shore was a little paradise, with a good restaurant beside it. An hour later the sky was spoiled with a thunder storm.

Sadly, the other day I was passing by this tree, with the idea of taking a photo of it with an Autumn feeling, but actually that tree was broken, so it's over for it. Sad, sad news for me.

I like the view with this romantic cottage in front of the landscape, illuminated from the evening Sun. Magdalensberg, Carinthia, Austria. Copyright © 2010 by Martin Aglas.

I took this picture of the beautiful Victoria Falls on my recent visit in November 2009. The photo is taken from the Devil's cataract in direction of the Main Falls. The water at that time of the year is at it's lowest compared to the rest of the year. However the green vegetation around, the many thousands of litres of water storming down into the valley and the sound of twittering birds around you makes this a location worth visiting any time of the year.

I took this photo during a full Moon night at the Huvafen Fushi Resort, North Malé atoll, Kaafu, Maldives. It was so bright that you could have easily read a newspaper that night!

I got rid of some human elements on the beach via Photoshop. Other than that, there has been no alteration. The original can be seen here.

An exhaust cloud engulfs Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida as space shuttle Endeavour lifts off into the night sky.

Launch of the STS-130 mission to the International Space Station was at 4:14 a.m. EST. This was the second launch attempt for space shuttle Endeavour's STS-130 crew and the final scheduled space shuttle night launch. The first attempt on February 7, 2010 was scrubbed due to unfavorable weather.

The primary payload for the STS-130 mission to the International Space Station is the Tranquility node, a pressurized module that will provide additional room for crew members and many of the station's life support and environmental control systems. Attached to one end of Tranquility is a cupola, a unique work area with six windows on its sides and one on top. The cupola resembles a circular bay window and will provide a vastly improved view of the station's exterior. The multi-directional view will allow the crew to monitor spacewalks and docking operations, as well as provide a spectacular view of Earth and other celestial objects. The module was built in Turin, Italy, by Thales Alenia Space for the European Space Agency.

I took this shot in Saint Jean de Luz, a fishing port on the Basque coast and now a famous resort, known for its architecture, sandy bay, the quality of the light and the cuisine. I only got rid of some elements on the beach to make it a bit more tidy. Otherwise, no alterations.
