Manarola is one small town in Cinque Terre, Italy. The carefully build terraces on the rogue landscape in contrast to the serene Mediterranean sea makes it one of the most photogenic towns in the world. Nice restaurants, lovely people and a great local wine... Just perfect! I'm definitely coming back and maybe next time hunt for a more dramatic sky. =)
In the Highlands of Scotland, at the head of Glen Coe, you can find this amazing view of the Etive river with the Buachaille Etive Mòr mountain in the back. The waterfall is fairly small, but it looks beautiful in the morning light. A little bit down the road is the Glen Etive, a beautiful valley with a narrow single track road featuring dozens of waterfalls on both sides. It was also the filming location from the 007 - Skyfall movie. I love how Scots like adding the word "famous" to their landmarks. =)
