Re: Best and Worst U.S. airports: No surprises

I believe Airports should be judged solely on whether you had a pleasant experience. There is no way Orlando isn't in the Top10. New York is a disgrace. But I pass through as an alien - US residents see no problem. Philadelphia is a dream. Excellent Airport.

I agree Jonathan! When it's done, I'd like to photograph it from a safe distance, but I don't even think I could walk under it.

I suspect it's going to look quite a bit different "as built," since I notice that in the picture, the water runs right to the edge, and one side hasn't even a place to sit! By the time it's done, there will need to be an ugly wall to keep bathers in, and keep water from splashing pedestrians below. At ten stories above building walks and parking lots, I'm not sure the view down through the pool will be worth it, either.

rbciao ·
Agreed. Interestingly, Roma did not leave me with a good impression during our first visit in 1980. However, after returning many times, it becomes a more meaningful place for me to enjoy. Now, we take pleasure in just walking the streets, stopping when we decide to linger, and generally hanging out in its diverse neighborhoods. During our trip in May we found some new restaurants, walked familiar neighborhoods from different directions, and discovered new gelatorie to continue our...

Well done DrY! They're all good photos, but my favorites are the plane flying into the sunrise (top one), and those scary storm clouds, which I love to watch!

I too, love the scary clouds. And frosty winter day, too, almost monochromatic, a vintage feel. Good work, Dr.Y.

Lovely Pictures! I lived in Canmore for 1 year (well 10.5 months). It is a beautiful part of the world, even if summer only lasts from July 25 until Aug 5.

Canyonlands National Park is a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas, and buttes by the Colorado River and the Green River. Samantha shares some pictures from her visit.

Re: Canyonlands National Park, Moab, Utah

Roderick Simpson ·
What a coincidence! I am in Moab, after a day in the Canyonlands and Arches National Parks - far too much to see in one day I know, but that is all we had time for in this visit. I can't add any more to the full information given by Samantha. At the time we visited (about noon), we found the light gave a superb view from the Buck Canyon overlook, and I attach a few pictures.
