Those are both from Vietnam -- the first one is the Bay of Halong near Haiphong and the second one is the mountain region of Sapa near the Chinese border.

Close. I spent two weeks near the Lac d'Annecy in the Haute-Savoie region of France.

fmt's 2nd and 3rd images really speak to me.
I think the reason we haven't done this topic before is that so many of our other threads are subsets of "landscape".
Kerouac's panorama makes me wonder if we have a specific thread for Panoramas?

So beautiful. I also love the 2nd photo, seeing those two tiny people dwarfed by the rolling green hills. All of them are great, though. Looks like you had a wonderful trip and lovely weather.

Thanks kimby, nycgirl and tod2. I took about 800 photos on this trip and I'll be working on my trip report in the upcoming days so you will see many more photos of this lovely area. I must admit, this is one of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen in my life. Words and even photos will never do it justice. My photos pale in comparison to what it was actually like in person. Stunningly beautiful is about the best way I can describe it. Hope you'll come back when I post my report. Thanks for taking the sneak preview.

Not on the same scale as FMT's splendid images... Rutland Water Nature Reserve.

There is something about that 2nd picture of FMT's that makes me want to pick up and go somewhere. They're all beautiful photos. Yours are as well, Cheery-- so serene. Kerouac's panorama makes me wonder if we have a specific thread for Panoramas? Some of these photos indeed look panoramic. There is a thread on Panoramas which is about how to photo stitch to create a panorama. Look for it in the Technique sub-board. There is now a clickable index for Image Bank photo topics. It's stickied at the top of Image Bank.

Thanks, Bixa. The foreground is at 3500 m altitude, the hills are higher.

Lovely photos bjd! I loved the patchwork hills and the aquamarine colour of the water near the shoreline.

I am constantly amazed and impressed with the standard of photography on this forum...not only is the subject matter stunning, but the composition of the images is staggering.
Gushing, sorry....

I know what you mean, Cheery. So often I see a photos here that just make me feel privileged to view them. This is much more mundane than the last several entries, but it's something that spoke to me ~~

Wut? mundane? are you mad? The contrast of the simple foreground with the complex ethereal structure of the sky is wonderful....I shall have to invent some new words to make my posts more interesting...having overused all the standard gushing ones.
The slpoodiferous squidgeronous beupode of your image has reduced my eyeboggles to trembling verks...

Kimby, to be honest I have wondered at times how you manage to live up there where it gets so cold.
That one photograph pretty much explains it.
It's majestically beautiful.
