Sunset over Antarctica
It might sound like nothing, but flying over the Antarctic, seeing thousands of miles of white/blue ice is just amazing. It is "awesome" in the old fashioned sense of the word. But best viewed, I think, from the warmth and safety of a plane. This shot is from the flight from Buenos Aires to Sydney, where we dipped down so far south that the sun was setting in the middle of the day.

Big flower sculpture in Buenos Aires
This is a shot of a big flower sculpture that an architect designed, constructed and gave to Buenos Aires. There are always people there looking at it. It opens and closes with the sun. It looks like the tourists are praying to some ancient sun god or something. The shots also show what perfect weather we are having, part of the parks and how many tall buildings there are here - the city is full of large residential buildings. I guess that is how they fit 15 million people into the city.
