Mesa Arch Trailhead

Moab, United States

 Mesa Arch TrailheadMoab, United StatesMesa Arch in Canyonlands. Come for sunset if you want to see the arch light up bright red. It’s a good drive from Moab so be sure to time it right. Great hiking in Canyonlands as well and a little less busy than the Grand Canyon. #photography #views

Sugarloaf Mountain

Shwesandaw Pagoda

Naypyitaw, Myanmar

 Shwesandaw PagodaNaypyitaw, MyanmarWhen I was in Bagan; it felt like time was moving so slow. Watching the sunset is a must. You climb, sit, and wait for the perfect moment. And then everything’s so quiet. Everyone is sitting on top of a pagoda somewhere, taking it all in.

Bonsai Rock

New Washoe City, United States

 Bonsai RockNew Washoe City, United StatesThe coastline around Sand Harbor is some of my favorite in Lake Tahoe. Giant round boulders line the beaches and offer secluded spots to hang out. Sand Harbor itself is super crowded, but half a mile south is Bonsai Rock. I carried a paddle board down and used it to wander the shoreline while I waited for sunset. Being on the east side of the lake, it’s a very popular vantage point for photographers, and for good reason. #paddleboarding #sunset #photography

Bastei

Lohmen, Germany

 BasteiLohmen, GermanyTowering almost 200 meters over the Elbe river below, the canyon of Bastei was formed by water erosion over a million years ago. The place became such an object of fascination that in 1851, a bridge linking a number of the rocks was constructed, and is itself something of a marvel of Victorian age engineering.
The bridge doesn’t really lead anywhere but simply spans a number of the huge rocks which make up the Bastei formation.
I am glad I was here for a lovely sunset!🙏 #bastei #basteibridge #dresden #saxony #germany #sunset #nationalpark #hiking
