If someone blindfolded me and took me here I would have never guessed I was in Norway. Some beaches here on Norway's coast look more like Hawaii or Thailand. Crystal clear waters and clean white sand make it look like a dream. Taken on Grotlesanden, Norway.

I saw the most amazing colors in the sky and rushed to the beach to catch the last of it. This was taken from Alki (West Seattle) in July 2014.

I arrived shortly before sunrise to avoid the crowds of tourists that are usually found here. I used my wide angle lens to fit the entire circle into the shot, I under exposed by a stop to avoid blowing out the brightest parts of the sky.

Morning at the Tetons in Wyoming, USA. I hiked down a closed road to this iconic spot to catch the morning sun on the mountains and the reflection in the beaver ponds.

NASA and ESA are celebrating the Hubble Space Telescope's silver anniversary of 25 years in space by unveiling some of nature's own fireworks — a giant cluster of about 3,000 stars called Westerlund 2. The cluster resides inside a vibrant stellar breeding ground known as Gum 29, located 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina. The comparatively young, 2-million-year-old star cluster contains some of our galaxy's hottest, brightest, and most massive stars. The largest stars are unleashing a torrent of ultraviolet light and hurricane-force winds that etch away the enveloping hydrogen gas cloud. This creates a fantasy celestial landscape of pillars, ridges, and valleys.

The largest crater of the notorious Toba eruption that happened between 69,000 and 77,000 years ago - now a very beautiful and serene water body located in North Sumatra, Indonesia. In the middle of the lake is an island called Samosir. Samosir is the home of the indigenous Batak people that has spread across the nation. Now it becomes a place to visit on a holiday for its magnificent view of Lake Toba.

The view was shot on the water side of an accommodation in Tuktuk village early in the morning. It was shot in the rainiest season of the year (December), explaining the very cloudy atmosphere.

The photo shows the view towards the southeast from a little Greek island called Nisos Gramvousa, which is located along the very northwest coast of Crete.

We came there by ship and spent a couple of hours exploring the ancient castle on top of the hilly island. To cool down we enjoyed a quick swim in the crystal clear waters.

The photo was taken on July 1, 2012 during my holiday on Crete. It is actually a panorama stiched together from four individual photos.
