Excellent article, Felicty. Yes, whilst all these places are a must on most peoples' travel list, we do need to be aware of the environmental impact we as tourists make.

Without the tourist would many of these places survive? Without the billions of euros spent on Venice to keep the water out would it still be walkable ? Would the Taj Mahal still be showing the scars of conflict if people didn't visit and contribute to its hunger for refurbishment ? Or maybe leave it to fall into ruin like the pyramids. Which do we remove? The tourists or the high heels ?

I agree that these destinations are famous and must-sees for every tourist, but all of us have an obligation to not destory these beautiful corners of the World. Like for Venice, as mentioned in the article that so many Cruises pass through here (stops) each year, so they must have dig-up the area and hence the water level keeps rising?! If we don't take care, our future generations wouldn't be able to see these historic places.

Beautiful photographs, Gilles! I've yet to visit the Taj Mahal and was wondering if these were taking in the morning or evening light?

These pictures were taken in the morning light, which is exactly in the right direction. So anyone heading for the Taj Mahal should visit early morning (06:00 am). In the afternoon, you can visit other places in Agra, and there also have the perfect light.

Brings back great memories of my own visit to the Taj Mahal last year! Excellent post!
