Horseshoe Bend
The most photographed horseshoe in the world.
And who would have expected to find a Greek translation in Glen Canyon, overlooking Colorado River?! (even though they could have done with some proofreading… still it made sense)

Veins of the Earth || Two || The Grand Prismatic Spring
Feel the heat alongside it and then climb the trail to the Overlook for some spectacular views. Meanwhile, click on the last photo – it’s panoramic.
The Grand Prismatic Spring Overlook is reached via the Fairy Falls Trail, an easy walk except for the last part reaching the overlook platform, which is a bit steep. You will meet wildlife on the way – just remember: keep calm and steer clear. These are wild animals and you are trespassing their territory. If they feel threatened they will charge – and they are faster and more agile than you think! The bison you see below had just attacked a silly man who went one step too far to take a selfie. Fortunately, the man got away with a warning – others may not be so lucky.

Winter(?)
Spring rather, springled with snow as we drove on Highway 20 (which is actually closed in winter). Admiring the view from Lake Butte over the Yellowstone Lake. There is a starck beauty around us, in this area that has been devastated by wildfire. Yet Hope, is always the last to die.

At the end of the day [four]
Just when you think it can’t get any better.
Airplane views of Chicago from The Signature Room at the 95th, a cocktail bar located, well, on the 95th floor of the 360 Chicago tower, better known as the John Hancock Center. The cocktails must be good but who would remember after experiencing these dizzying views?
As if to prepare us for the experience, an explosion of light at the lobby: Lucent, an installation by Wolfgang Buttress, representing the 3,106 brightest stars visible with the naked eye from the Earth’s Northern hemisphere.
And, finally, a smooth landing back to Earth, walking past the iconic Wrigley Building on N Michigan Avenue.

Room with a View
Canada and the U.S. share the benefits of one of the world’s top tourist destinations with boat tours, walking tours, honeymoon packages, helicopter rides, resorts and casinos and all kinds of development to the detriment of the natural beauty of the environment but to the ultimate excitement of the millions of tourists that flock to Niagara Falls every year.
But for the best armchair views from your private booth you have to cross to Canada and book a ”falls view – high floor” room in one of the major chained-brand hotels that are lined along the Canadian side of the falls. The views are simply hypnotic.
