Whatever it was that I triggered, I apologise if it upset anyone, I haven't seen any of the comments that were put on following mine but reiterate I meant no offence.

Back to topic.
I have thought of a few more since the first post. No particular order:
Polar Bear and Cubs emerging from hibernation.
Uluru at sunrise/sunset
A Blue Whales' fluke as it disappears back into the deep
A cheater at full speed in the wild
A volcano erupting
A trout sipping a Mayfly off the surface of a chalk stream
That Walls Vienetta effect in the layers of a glacier
etc. etc. etc,
As I said earlier it is too difficult a list to chop down to just the one

No, nobody was upset, nothing to worry about.

I'd love to go to / take photos of the lava-filled Nyiragongo Crater in the DRC, and the 'Gates of Hell' in Turkmenistan - a huge pit of spontaneously ignited methane belching from the bowels of the earth!

Anything. While I'm taking pictures, I'm not thinking about work, bills, fixing the car, etc, etc. Sometimes I even manage to surprise myself with a shot that I consider good enough to share with you lot. But I do like the idea of Ms. Evangelista or similar, on a deserted beach, with a Ferrari, and a Bottle of Premium beer or two.....

Regards

For me I guess the obvious answer would be something archaeological like the fora at Rome (first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening without tourists), or Macchu Pichu or the Great Wall of China. In reality, though, I wish I was good at taking pictures of people and had taken good images (not necessarily "portraits") of my friends and family who are no longer with us.
