These are so awesome, thank you for sharing. Looking at these and just taking them in makes it easy to put aside for awhile all of the bad things going on within this very same planet. Hard to believe, society needs to review these and get back in touch with what we have.

I only wish it were me that photographed them.

Absolutely amazing! A far cry from the hustle and bustle of the cities, the smog, pollution and the fast life in steel jungles. There's a world out there - the real world and we need to protect it. After all, this is our home!

Thanks! S&F!

Wow I love the one of India!!!

I am looking for that temple now on Google Earth. i want to see it from above! It looks amazing with the angle you posted.

Sometimes I will just go to the panoramic part of GE and look at various places across the world. I also like the panoramic 3d parts of GE. I did a tour of Egypt one day and it was like I had been there

Love the link you gave!! I see one of my favs, The Eiffel Tower!
It's like what i see on GE. I will be busy for hours, where to look first?!

Yeah! That's the one I love too! The Akshardham temple in India is the most beautiful I've seen. And the background music that goes with it is awe inspiring! I feel like sitting on the grass and meditating!!
