The Highlands of Scotland are breath-taking...









...as long as it's not lashing with rain.
There's a walk to a beach called Sandwood Bay in the far northwest, the nearest you can park is about 4 miles away, and the walk is nice enough, but the bay when you get there is stunning.

It was full wet weather gear when we set off walking, and we nearly gave up, but it brightened into a beautiful sunny afternoon, we even ventured into the North Atlantic (but not for long), it's got waterfalls onto the beach, stacks the sea is like the Caribbean in colour, but not temperature.

The harbour in Sydney is stunning. So many great sights in Australia.
 
A stunningly beautiful area. Stayed in Murren a couple of times. The Lauterbrunnen valley is breathtaking.
Yes it is. Not only the scenery but the air is pure and you generally feel alot healthier. I just love the sound of the bells from the cows. Here's hoping soon we can all get to back to places we love exploring.
 
South Georgia Island

The different tinted whites of the snow seen with the naked eye didn't come out for me on camera. Your pic has the blues. But the memories remain.
Fantastic that Shackleton and his men climbed those mountains without climbing gear - after a little pleasure trip on a rowing boat over hundreds of miles of open sea following a very long tab from the South Pole. Somehow l can't see any of those guys screaming with pain after contact in a penalty box.
 
Mirissa point break, Sri Lanka....absolute clear as glass water, turtles - beautiful. (Great food as well)

Love the South point of Sri Lanka, the beaches around Tangalle are some of the best I've visited.

Like you say, the food is fantastic. I have to say Sri Lanka is probably my favourite holiday destination, I can't wait to go back there again.

Stunning place. Seeing the old whaling station and the boats stranded.

Shackleton's grave. Seeing what he and his men went through is utterly unimaginable.

Their journey to Elephant Island. All incomprehensible.

I am glad the weather was just atrocious when I was there. It made it that bit more extraordinary.

Went on a 3 week round trip from LA all the way up to the Canadian Rockies and then back down again on a Cities and Parks tour. Some of those sights were breathtaking. From the Giant Redwoods in Sequoia National Parks, stunning vistas of Glacier NP and the Canyonlands of Arches NP and Bryce Canyon to the colder climes of Jasper and Banff.

We flew over and the views from the drop ramp were fantastic. We just didn't get the colours in when snapping through the windows although they were visible to us.
The pilot took us all over the island and we made low passes over the settlement and the Argie sub etc.
You get all four seasons in an afternoon there. We struck lucky with the sunny period.
 
The Dalmatian coast now mostly all part of Croatia. Simply stunning like the Scottish Isles but it has good weather much more frequently.
If I had to pick a spot, it would be the Blue Cave at Bisevo.
