    Good lighting, good compositions and great subjects make great photos. Have done the Grand Canyon, am doing Yosemite this Summer, and Machu Picchu is definitely on the “bucket list” after viewing these photos.

    If you can’t get inspired by viewing these, you might want to check your pulse.
    Mother Earth is worth protecting, don’t you think?
