The Lake District in UK is known to be very picturesque. This image below is from a valley in Grasmere. Other images are also around the Lake District.

Wasdale is a valley in the western part of the Lake District National park in Cumbriua, England.. The River Irt flows through the valley to its estuary at Ravenglass. A large part of the main valley floor is occupied by Wastwater, the deepest lake in England (258 feet). It is also the site of the highest peak in England, Scafell Pike.

Happy to be shortlisted for the ACPP Prize. The two images below were also submitted. The finalists for the 2019 Australian Conceptual Photography Prize including my other shortlisted image is at https://www.a-p-s.org.au/index.php/exhibition/australian-conceptual-photography-prize.
Can be pleasant to the eye
Seascape and coastal scenes are available across Bayside Melbourne
Bayside Port Phillip Bay offers many photographic opportunities - especially in the seascape genre. Photographic style can incorporate long exposures, cloudscapes or sunsets.
I like to reflect back on some of my travels and locate some previous photographs to remind me of the diversity of environments throughout the world. Here there are landscapes from South Australia, Scotland, Alaska and Switzerland respectively.
Nice spot is Jam Jerrup, quite secluded for coastal shots like this, in Westernport Victoria.
I consider myself lucky to live in south east Melbourne - Bayside. Photographically, it allows me to readily capture coastal scenes.

IMPRESSIONISTIC PHOTOGRAPHY is interesting on one level because it allows one to break the traditional ‘rules’ of photography such as use a tripod for sharpness, and apply creative use of blur, for example. A sense of movement and/or emotion can be conveyed.
Below image is entitled Balloon Attack for example.
Monochrome allows the photographic artist the opportunity to express and reflect a different approach to a subject. The last image ‘Arches’ was lucky enough to win the Dandenong Show 2018 Best Monochrome Trophy.
Here are views and images of architecture from around the world. The last image was submitted to OPTIKA, City of Kingston’s 2018 photographic competition which has a theme “Architecture, Space and Home”. Locations are Calgary, Dubrovnik, Docklands, Melbourne x 2, South Australia and again, south-east Melbourne.
Red soil, delightful landscapes
A panoramic view is particularly suited to landscape vista photography. This is a view from the 'top of Europe' a few years ago.
Pristine lakes are a feature of this region of Canada be they frozen over, part frozen or not frozen at all.
I have been asked to post some images from the recent trip to Alberta, Canada including the Rocky Mountains - a photographer's delight.
Oahu is graced with a diversity of opportunities for photographic exploration.
The island of Oahu is diverse - its attractions not just Waikiki Beach. Here are images from a recent trip reflecting its diversity - they include Friday evening fireworks - a regular Honolulu ritual, a crab close-up and a baby seal.

If you are going to Alaska, in particular, around Anchorage, I can highly recommend Alaska Photo Treks. They know the hidden spots were to shoot and provide great tips. Just search for @AlaskaPhotoTreks on Facebook.
Here are some different photographs of Alaska - city view and wildlife - and of course, some landscapes.
