Krakow's Planty
Planty is a huge park surrounding the old town. It was created in 1882 and replaced the defense walls and the moat. It's a great place to have a walk in the evening and have a look at some of the beautiful buildings around the park.

The St. Mary's Basilica is one of the most important churches of Krakow. It was built in 1287-1320 in Gothic style.

Winter is coming to an end. Let’s enjoy the last days of February. There are people who have never seen snow even in winter. The pictures below show the real winter with frost, snow and low temperatures. It’s not only white, dull and boring, like some think. It has many colors and is very beautiful. Just look here.
It is December now. Somewhere the ground is covered with deep snow, like it is in Siberia. In other places, like Egypt, it is unbearably hot. Sometimes we do not notice the beauty, which the nature gives us. Though autumn is over, I would like to remind you of those nice autumn days, which are gone. I have collected some pictures, which show how beautiful autumn is and want to share them with you. Please, enjoy.
You can usually find different cities, towns, nature of countries, mountains and so on in category “Beautiful Places”. Today here are photos of very beautiful bridges, which are situated in different cities and towns of the world. Those bridges vary depending of their age, function and type, but all of them look awesome.
Alaska - though it’s the largest U.S. state, it is sparsely populated. Similar to Antarctica: the fewer people, the more beautiful the nature, this is why I decided to share some beautiful pictures of Alaskan nature with you. Long ago Alaska belonged to the Russian Empire, but 1867 it was sold for $7.2 million (converted to the “current dollars” the price was $102 million), well, it can be said, that Alaska was given as a gift. I’ve never been to Alaska, but I’m sure, it’s beautiful. I think, you will agree with me, when you see these wonderful pictures.
Yesterday you could enjoy the beautiful views of Canada – some pictures of the city and town mountains and water bodies. I’m sure, some of you have visited these beautiful places. Today I’d like to share a piece of Canadian nature with you – and these pictures are truly impressive.
Just look at these photos – aren’t these mountains magnificent? Don’t they make you want to go there some day by all means?
Have you been to Tokyo? It used to be a small fishing village 550 years ago. And now it is really huge. This high-tech city’s population exceeds 12 million. Tokyo looks especially gorgeous at night. The photos below prove it.
Have you ever seen a red sky? It becomes so when the sun goes down at the end of the day. All objects you see on this burning background – houses, cars, people – everything looks absolutely black. Such red-black pictures can be scary and magnetic at the same time.
We all know that clouds are just masses of tiny drops and frozen crystals in the atmosphere. But how beautiful they can look! Clouds can have different colors and absolutely different forms and resemble anything depending on your imagination. Below are some beautiful photos of clouds from my picture collection.
There’s nothing as romantic as beach sunset. These are the time and the place lots of photographers like taking pictures of. Many couples had their first kiss on the beach when the sun was going down. And exactly at this time thousands of tourists around the world prefer to have a walk along the seashore. The pictures below show the colorful sights all these people enjoy. Aren’t they amazing!
Grey, golden, greenish, burning skies over trees – these beautiful views create a truly romantic, thoughtful mood, especially if it’s sunset. The beauty of nature is a good antidepressant. Just look at the pictures. They are magnificent.
You know how life in Manhattan is like. It has its own character and tempo, the ambience doesn’t resemble that in any other place. Manhattan life is unique. And these pictures demonstrate it like no words could describe.
The name Manhattan derives from Manna-hata, which in Lenape language means “island of many hills”, as it was written in the 1609 logbook of Robert Juet, an officer on Henry Hudson’s yacht named “Half Moon”. Since those times Manhattan has changed a lot. The pictures below show what today’s life in Manhattan is like.
