Government House is located in Sydney alongside the Royal Botanic Gardens, overlooking Sydney Harbour, just south of the Sydney Opera House. Constructed between 1837 and 1843, the property has been the official residence of the Governor of New South Wales since Sir George Gipps in 1845, except for two brief periods; the first between 1901 to 1914, when the property was leased to the Commonwealth of Australia as the residence of the Governor-General of Australia, and the second from 1996 to 2011.

This is Mount Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand, located in the Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park.

I took this photo a few days ago during my stay at Lake Tekapo. We traveled along Lake Pukaki while the mountain was covered in clouds. Later that day we got really lucky with the weather, as it became really sunny and the complete mountain range was cloud free, which happens not really often. After sunset, I had the great opportunity to take this photo, while the mountain was covered in the last red sunrays while the other mountains and the lake went dark. The reflections on the lake were just marvelous.

The photo is nearly untouched, I just did some minimal lens correction and color adaption, as photos taken with the 70-300mm sometimes seem to be a bit foggy.

Taken at Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada while hiking to the other end of the lake. The colour of the water, canoes and trees made for a nice composition.

Down in the South of Utah, not far from Arizona is a place called the Kodachrome basin state park. It is an other little magic place with its own unique rock formation. My friend Marc and I wandered for a couple miles in the park to find this "round about" which that day, was posing with a majestic sky.

5 exposure HDR. Taken from the new walkway in Chapala, Mexico. I was in Mexico last week for a one week vacation. The weather was colder than normal and it rained several days, but those clouds made for wonderful sunsets. Enjoy all! Thanks for voting!!!
