I love being at the top of a hill, observation point, tower, or other structure, to see what lies below. The sprawling expanse, whether it is naturally occurring or constructed by humans, is usually quite beautiful. Here are some of my favorite views.
1. Australia – Port Phillip Bay, near Melbourne
2. Canada – Galiano Island, British Columbia
3. England – Roman Baths, Bath Spa
4. France
5. Gibraltar
6. Greece – Oia, Santorini
7. Italy
8. Japan – Tokyo
9. Portugal
10. South Korea – Seoul
11. USA – Death Valley, CA
Which of these is your favorite? As always, I would love to hear from you, so please leave a message if you’re so inclined.
Wishing you grand adventures,
Tricia

What a clever and completely stunning set of photos. Love the perspective as it captures so much. What beautiful memories you’ve captured on your travels. I especially loved the photo of Australia near Melbourne and the picture of lovely Santorini (without the crowds!)

I’m rather struck by your photo of Eze, with the castle in the foreground and gorgeous background, and the rooftops in Seoul.

Can’t chose just one but my top 3 are Madeira, Galiano Island and Gibraltar. I love the view from above too, I think part of the reason I love climbing, hiking and skiing. Maggie

Oh, it’s very hard to pick a favourite here Tricia! San Gimignano with the hot air balloon is beautiful, but the one from Eze won me over … maybe it’s because I like to walk on that beach to the cute little harbour! But as always, all your photos are beautiful!

The theme of this post is wonderful! So clever. I love it. Your beautiful photos have taken me around the world, you super well traveled person, you. My favorite was going to be Eze, but then I saw Tokyo. Oh my. Stunning… so atmospheric. And I’m a girl who loves a big city. (But then there’s the kitty.)

I think the one in Lyon was taken from Notre-Dame de Fourvière. I remember the view from there. Thank you it brought back good memories from my trip to France.
I like this topic. I have some pictures from elevated points too. Not as good as yours but will give it a try.

Like you, I love a good view! I’ve gone ways to hike a hill, climb hundreds of stairs, or simply take a cable car to capture the world from above. I’ve been to and seen the views you took of France, but I’m especially keen on capturing yours from Bath myself, as I plan to be going there very, very soon…thanks for sharing your favorites!
