What makes this waterfall so memorable is the setting. It sits at the head of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, which itself is an attraction just from its precipitous canyon and the yellow rocks which line it. The waterfall is the icing on the cake, so to speak. Those yellow rocks, by the way, are how the park got its name.
Enjoy...

The Tasman Tower is a structural accommodation building with 24 storeys on a prominent site on the edge of Groningen, near the junction of three important waterways. Two mutually linked towers over 75 metres high accommodate 218 apartments of varying size. Deep black aluminium frames delineate the façades of the apartments and emphasise the view over the city and surroundings.
My hometown is almost 1000 year old and modern architecture is ruling the town more and more for the last 20 years. Our Groninger Museum is one of these new modern looking buildings. And now since last year we have this, the Tasman Tower.
There are still some apartments for sale....if you have some money left ;-)
Enjoy...

Alstrom Point provides one of the most memorable, scenic, and widely photographed views of Lake Powell. While the actual hiking at the point is limited, half of the enjoyment of this location is the trip to get there. Alstrom Point is very remote. Although you can see the city of Page, it will take you between 2 to 3 hours to get there. There is no gas along the way. The road is primarily on the Tropic Shale, which can turn to a mud bog after rain or snow. The last mile or two into Alstrom Point is over rough slickrock and not well marked in places.
This eye catching grand view from Alstrom Point looks out over Gunsight Butte, Padre Bay and the immense Lake Powell. You may need a high clearance four wheel drive here. Reaching this viewpoint may also prove a challenge for those without directions. One possible route from Big Water, Utah, begins on Warm Creek Road to Smoky Mountain Road (Rec Road 230). South on Rec Road 264, known to some as Alstrom Point Road; but to the Google folks, its labeled as Romana Mesard Road. A good sense of direction or a bit luck maybe needed on this adventure.
This image is taken at sunset and when leaving the place it went dark very fast and a GPS was needed to find the way back to US89. So when you go there, stay overnight or bring your GPS to help you out of this remote area.
Image is part of the south-west tour.
Enjoy...

The Godafoss is a wide 12m tall waterfall on the Skjalfandafljot river known for its role in Icelandic history. Since the falls is very close to the ring-road between Akureyri and Myvatn, it is very popular with both self-drivers and tours so you can expect a lot of people.
You can see the falls from both sides of the river. Getting to the base of the falls is possible from the east bank, where a moderately short walking path also gives you pleasant comprehensive views of the falls. All i wanted was a long exposure with a human inside without moving. It cost me almost an hour till i finally had one.
Enjoy...
