Where the eyes go oohhhh and aahhhhh. And the hearts too :-)

Looking south from a 6th floor somewhere in Chicago IL.

A birds-eye view of the small Dutch island of Marken, nowadays connected to the mainland with a long dike. As can be seen, the second one never got finished. This is a beautiful little island where the houses are all still in the original old North Holland style. The island is (I guess) about 2 kilometers in length, and the lighthouse is situated all the way on the left. It's a beautiful little walk or cycling journey form the picturesque town on the right, which has a direct ferry connection to the village of Volendam (just outside the picture on the right.) Definitely worth a visit, to get a little bit closer look than this!

A quickly assembled panoramic full view of the Roman Amphitheatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, where an opera performance is just about to start. Views of the mountains around Plovdiv in the distance.

It's not a perfect panorama, but good enough to show the beauty.
