Ran across the site that dipicts places to see before one leaves this planet.
Dang, I haven't even been to the US locations. I would add that these should be on any photographes bucket list !

Wow that's an interesting list. I don't think I've been to any of them. The second shot of the Phi Phi Islands looks like the lair of one of Bond, James Bond's arch enemies.

Quite fascinating indeed! There are several already on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing so I can add more to that list!

Some very nice photos.
Plitvice is on the list twice.
Seeing Hamilton Pool, TX in this list blew me away. Interesting place, but not really in same league as the others.
Can anyone, other than special research teams get into the Naica mine?
You need special cooling suites, and even with them you can't last more than 20 minutes !
If this is now open for tours, I'm making flight reservations tomorrow.
More places to add to my list. I'm seriously starting to wonder if I can actually complete my travel bucket list in my lifetime. It's going to be a lot of fun trying. And, uh, am I an idiot, or is "Nor" not a country? Is that supposed to be Norway?

Wow, they cropped my name off of my Plitvice waterfalls shot, AND got the credits wrong. Nothing new there...
Neat list, though.

Since they tripled down on Antelope Canyon and scored the Wave at #8, was this paid for by the Arizona Tourist Board?
Jack - Did they ask, or is this one of those web theft jobs?
Yep, it is a good list. I'll never able to get a permit for the Wave and expect worse crowing @ Antelope if this goes viral tho.
As Dave said, Jack, I feel like I see that Plitvice image floating around an awful lot. As for the list, it's certainly a fascinating group of places (only one I've visited is the Great Wall, oddly), but it seems pretty arbitrary. The world's a wonderful place, and I'm sure one could come up with many completely different but equally impressive lists.

If you need a really good IP Attorney, I know one on Santa Monica Blvd that will strike the fear of God* into any offender.
