Yosemite National Park
Ansel Adams loved the area around Yosemite National Park so much that he called it “the great earth gesture,” as if Mother Nature had rewarded humanity with a prize. The Yosemite Valley is often considered the birthplace of modern landscape photography. It unfolds before one’s viewfinder in a never-ending wonderland of awe-inspiring micro and macro scenery. Located at the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, it is home to grandiose waterfalls, gigantic cliffs of exposed granite and deep forests of tall majestic trees. Yosemite National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site - a creation of the last Ice Age when glaciers shaped the valley as they forced out vast quantities of ice and rock, splitting mountains in the process.

Cuba: Havana & Trinidad
Havana’s romantic atmosphere and infectious energy are the stuff of legend. Amid the warm crystalline waters of the sparkling Caribbean, over 500 years of roller-coaster history have conspired to create one of Latin America’s most electric and culturally unique societies. The stomping ground for swashbuckling pirates and a lucrative gambling capital for the North American Mafia, Havana has survived everything that has been thrown at it and still found time to be innovative. At the forefront of modern Latino culture, Habana has spawned salsa and mambo, Havana Club rum and Cohiba cigars, mural painting and Che Guevara iconography. Nowhere else but in the streets of Havana is the Spanish colonial architecture so abundant everywhere you look there is an unique image waiting to be recorded. More info...
