50 More of the Most Famous Landmarks on Earth (Part 2)

Thanks again Hilleke, another nice collection. 😀

To Shabu, that is YOUR opinion. Many of us can appreciate each of these works of art on their own merit. The juxtaposition of natural and man-made is a fascinating subject, and beauty can be found in both sources. Next time don’t speak as though you are stating fact, when in reality you are stating your own personal and narrow views.

Very nice. Our World is an amazing and beautiful place. Not too many negitive comments here yet , but don’t dispair, it’s early.

La Citadelle Laferriere or Citadel Henri Christophe–one of the eight wonders of the world located in northern Haiti is the largest fortress in the western hemisphere!

Giants Causeway ,Cliffs of moher ,hill of tara ,Blarney stone – Ireland
buckingham palace,westminster abbey-england etcetera

Stunning, breathtaking pictures. these places are more than deserving to be famous.

why aren’t the mosques of timbuktu in this list?

Why was Stonehenge of Wiltshire not included?

totally missed Tikal in Guatemala… anda la Alhambra in Granada Spain.

More on Canada, less on the u.s.a. e.g., Glaciers in Jasper, Banff National Park, Niagara Falls, Peggy’s Cove, many, many more!
Beautiful compilations though – amazing what a beautiful planet we have. I can only wish we didn’t take the mysteries and fascinations for granted. Thank you Hilleke~

What about Petra, Jordan? It is absolutely amazing!

Definite bias against Christian art and architecture. Let’s see… 5 mosques or Islamic structures and not even St. Peter’s Basilica?

What the h@ll is this list?! You made up a list based on what?! YOURSELF?! The 8 Wonders of the World is not here, the 7 Natural Wonders of the World is not here! WTF?! And you proudly say these are landmarks?! LOL

What a bunch of sad people here…

Thanks for the great lists and pics, Hilleke.

Thanks for great revelation!
Very good compilation.
If u want to satisfy, you may have to compile 1000(s) list;
still may be incomplete.
Mother earth is funny, figurative and fantastic!

Dead Sea in Jordan…

Instead of the Dom from Berlin I would have put the Kölner Dom from Cologne in there. Magnificent cathedral and by far the biggest i have ever seen!

i wish a few more places to be added like:

delicate arch – moab utah! totally forgot

Awesome lists, thanks for compiling them! Would love more!

PS- I’m pretty sure the photo you included of Pompeii is actually from the ruins of the Roman Forum. Hard to tell from that angle, but it doesn’t actually look like Pompeii.

To Arabian:
The “Wailing Wall” is actually the remaining western wall of the original Jewish temple from several thousand years ago, not part of a mosque that was built much more recently.

Really great photographs! Beautiful sites too. As I’m sure from the comments there are some places that should probably be added. Some that came to my mind are the Space Needle in Seattle and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. The Chrysler Building? The Panama Canal? Anywho, more places to travel to right?! Great job again!

Awesome work, Hilleke. We, the more lazy and conceited jerks are far lesser human beings for not being able to enjoy your beautiful work without criticizing it instead. Don’t listen to those morons that all they do is complain about you having missed a landmark. They don’t know shit.

Hilleke,
The pictures in Parts I and II are soooo beautiful. I love the fact that you took the time to compile and share them. Who of us will ever see all these places in a lifetime? Thank you for this gift. It was spiritually uplifting to me today. I hope you can take the comments made as suggestions and not criticism. There is nothing more beautiful than those things we have experienced ourserves that have moved us to great emotion! Keep up the good work!
Roma

Iguazu Falls on the border of Brazil and PARAGUAi NOT ARGENTINA

Excellent compilation! Would’ve liked to see Phang Nga Bay in Thailand included. Truly a sight to behold.

great pictures! pleased to see a lot there that I have been to! just a coupld of suggestions if you do another list: great barrier reef, whitsundays and fraser island – australia, the reclining budda in bangkok, killing fields/s21 phnom penh cambodia.
@mateus, the iguacu falls actually go from argentina into brasil, its the parana river that runs through brasil argentina and paraguay.

How can you not have the Great Barrier Reef on either of these lists?

i think alcatraz should be on there (:

CN Tower in Canada, really. If you put that you have to put the Space Needle in Seattle. But the best view in Seattle is from the Smith Tower. Our guide on the Seattle By Foot tour recommended it on the Seattle Coffee Crawl tour I took. Love all the rest of the locations! Too many, too little time!

If you’re going to do another top 50: think about Mitre Peak, New Zealand, Varanasi Ghats, Varanasi, India, Mount Kailash, India, Great Barrier Reef, Australia, Sukhothai, Thailand and Palmyra, Syria and Palitana, Gujarat, India

What about Prague!?

Beautiful photos! Nevermind all the critics, let them make their own list!

You missing Borbudur in Indonesia….

Nice pics, despite the PhotoShop handiwork…

really cool helped me with my homework

I really enjoyed the pictures thanks 🙂

very nice collectio, but add more

i want the The Great Sphinx

awesome possum

THe tower of piza is on the list along with niagra falls people. There needs a correction tho. The landmark that looks like skull rock from peter pan, obviously isn’t the sphinx. I’m surprised with all the complaining people did on here, that nobody noticed.
