Mini Challenge #368 **** National Parks / UNESCO World Heritage Sites ****
Recently I have visited a few of the National Parks in the United States and amazed by their natural beauty.
I realize not all countries have a National park system though many outside the US also have their own National Parks as well. So any official National Park counts, in additional any shot from a UNESCO World Heritage Site counts well, the full listing of them is here.
Am limiting it to that criteria, please no National Monuments, places run by the National Park Service and related things of that nature that are not official National parks or official UNESCO Heritage Sites.
Let's see some great examples of natural wonders, landscapes, cultural/historical importance photos you may have in your collections.
No limited to landscapes, man made buildings in the photo, people or wildlife in the photo is perfectly fine.
Would appreciate any background about where you were, your trip, stories about getting the location for the shot, etc...
