7 Most Iconic Places to Photograph in the World
Some places are a must to capture through the lens: Like when in Rome, the obvious choice
is the Colosseum and when in Paris, the Eiffel Tower.
But far from these popular destinations, there are many more wonders around the world that
tourists seek out with camera in hand.
here's the list:
1. The Pyramids of Giza, Egypt The wonder of ancient world and one of the
premier attractions of Egypt.
The Pyramids of Giza represent the archetypal pyramid structures of ancient Egyptian civilization.
These pyramids were built as the final resting place for pharaohs, which were kings of divine
right and were seen as living gods.
For some 4,500 years they have been the most wondrous of wonders, in a league of their
own, unchallenged for their sheer audacity, paragons of all design.
2. Venice, Italy Graceful, beautiful, and constantly enchanting,
Venice is also a prime example of the tragic, all-consuming lust for wealth, power, and
sordid ambitions.
Venice is a city in northeastern Italy sited on a group of 118 small islands separated
by canals and linked by bridges.
It is located in the marshy Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the shoreline, between
the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers.
The city in its entirety is listed as a World Heritage Site, along with its lagoon.
The lagoon is virtually the same as it was six hundred years ago, making it the most
photographed part of the city.
3. Papua New Guinea In the highlands of Papua New Guinea we come
face to face with the parts of our mind that the modern world has hidden away very well.
Papua New Guinea is one of the most heterogeneous nations in the world.
It is estimated that more than a thousand different cultural groups exist there.
Because of this diversity, many different styles of cultural expression have emerged;
each group has created its own expressive forms in art, dance, weaponry, costumes, singing,
music, architecture and much more.
4. Antarctica The Antarctica is the windiest, coldest and
highest continent, but beyond that, it boasts amazing scenery and tremendous and unique
wildlife.
It's notable for being the only continent with no significant land plant life and no
native land mammals, reptiles, or amphibians.
However its shoreline serves as nesting ground for many species, including penguins.
5. Machu Picchu, Peru One of the most famous and spectacular ruins
in the world, Machu Picchu is located 8,000 ft high in the Andes of Peru.
Most archaeologists believe that it was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti.
Often referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is perhaps the most familiar
icon of Inca civilization.
It was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls.
Its three primary structures are the Intihuatana (Hitching post of the Sun), the Temple of
the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows.
These are located in what is known by archaeologists as the Sacred District of Machu Picchu.
6. Easter Island Easter Island is known as one of the world's
sacred sites.
It is most famous for its enigmatic giant stone busts, Standing in their haunting rows
called moai, created by the early Rapanui people.
A total of 887 monolithic stone statues have been inventoried on the island and in museum
collections so far.
Although often identified as "Easter Island heads", the statues have torsos, most of
them ending at the top of the thighs.
A small number of them are complete, with the figures kneeling on bent knees with their
hands over their stomachs.
Some upright moai have become buried up to their necks by shifting soils.
7. Stonehenge, England Few places invoke timelessness like Stonehenge.
It is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England.
One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing
stones set within earthworks.
It is in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England,
including several hundred burial mounds.
The absolute knowledge that every year for the past 5,000 years the Earth, the sun, and
Stonehenge have all lined up just so that the rays of light glancing across the face
of Salisbury Plain slip through the upright stones--it sets our sense of cosmic order
on fire.
The rocks hulk there, brawny yet graceful, set in place by crafty people we can scarce
imagine or recall.
Then the moment is gone and we realize that we, too, have been aligned, if only briefly,
with time itself.
