Yikes! Niiiiice.... You know what the worst thing about getting older is (I'm 44)? Knowing that something like that will never, ever again be within reach.

Smudger, those are some great pics but it would really be cool if you noted the locations. :)

I am pretty sure the first two are of the Grand Tetons with the Snake River in the foreground, and the blue hole is probably from Yellowstone.

Correct on the first two. The "blue hole" is a hot-water pond charged with Silica from some remote location in Iceland.

Cape Alava, Washington. The westernmost part of the lower 48 states.

Karakol Lake, Kyrgyzstan. Small community on the lake between Kazakhstan and China.

Bagan, Myanmar. Home to more than 4,000 temples in a 26-square-mile-space. Capital of the Kingdom of Pagan from the 9th to 13th centuries.

Yosemite. Dean Potter scaling a route on Glacier Point called Heaven. How people do this without ropes is simply amazing.

Lago di Olginate, Italy.

I'm older than you. You're right. :(

I've been to the Silica Pond and several other sites in Iceland. That area around the pond isn't very stable.

If you're ever looking for a vacation spot that's very different, do the cross country bike ride in Iceland. Absolutely spectacular.

Visit Geysir, Svartifoss, Gullfoss and Barnafoss.

Outside of a porn shop in Soho (London). I don't think I've ever seen this advertised here in the states.

Bridge of Sighs in Cambridge. There's one in Oxford too but for some reason I didn't take a picture of it. The Robin Trower fans should appreciate this.

Old structure in York.
