  • Druid Hill Park at Dusk

    Druid hill park at dusk in Baltimore

    by tanawat

    Druid Hill Park has been a sanctuary for me in the last 2 years. It's the place I go for jogging, bird watching, or even just sitting still.

    In fall, the park turned orange, and red. In spring, all spring flowers show their true colors. I love cherry blossom here better than in DC. Even in hot summer, the part offers shade and wind to cool me down.

  • Rotherham - Herringthorpe Playing Fields

    Rotherham - herringthorpe playing fields in England

    by sarah_cameron

    Not just a simple field, a simple field with possibility! It includes various trees & a lots of football posts & rugby posts. It's used by most of the public & many people seem to dislike it, but I simply love it. The sun travels fully over it & so you can snap some amazing photos as you should see with mine. (:

  • Linden Terrace

    Linden terrace in New York

    by fifimagoo

    There have been countless times that I've needed to escape from the city. In those moments, I've always ended up here. It was the only place to think when I couldn't think, to breathe when it felt impossible, to write when the words would run. As the sun dies golden on the horizon, this place is lit up. When the breezes blow up the Hudson, the Linden's leaves whisper, Shhhhh.

  • La Venencia

    La venencia in Madrid

    by pilarbarvar

    This is a really old place...there are a lot of bottles of sherry wine, a few wooden tables, and a black cat. This is a wonderfull place where you can enjoy so many kinds of Sherry wine "homemade" and speak with local or foreign people. The owners don't want anybody to take pictures inside, but this is such a nice place that I couldn't resist taking one! shhhh.... this is a secret between you and me!

  • Trsat

    Trsat in Rijeka

    by ineska

    A must see for all those who come to Rijeka!! At about 15 minuts from the city center, taking the Trsatske skale (Trsat's stairs) home to various legends, you walk to the most amazing view of Rijeka that you can get. Sitting on the walls of what used to be a fortress, looking down on the river Riječina, the sea, the city, letting the kind breeze touch your face...just indulge in your thoughts and enjoy. It is highly recommended you watch the sunset from up there. Walk, sit, watch, enjoy!

  • Charles River Esplanade

    Charles river esplanade in Boston

    by davidtan

    The Charles River Esplanade is a park that stretches along the Charles River. It's a place of activity for residents in Boston and Cambridge. Here, one can indulge in jogging, biking, sailing, and rowing.
    My favorite way to enjoy the Esplanade is to simply walk around and take pictures. The area is beautiful all-year round, but I tend to look forward to springtime, when cherry blossoms start to flower along the riverbanks.

    View walking down my street in budapest in Budapest

    by jessica

    This is the view from my street. Once a year in Budapest they have a air show. They start by flying under one bridge and to the next bridge and back. This race is over the Danube river. This photo is right in front of our government building. I love my city and the beauty that is right infront of me..

  • Spat’s cafe

    Spat’s cafe in Adelaide

    by wayne-crismani

    Great coffee shop just out of the city centre. Open until late. The ambiance is very nice with not much lighting and really comfortable booths where you have relatively cheap table service and can order coffees, dessert; other drinks etc. Check out the link for other people's opinions. It is a mix between your grandma's house and a burlesque house from 60 years ago (at least according to my imagination). People claim it used to be a brothel but it may just be rumour. Definitely a hidden gem.

    by 1379zara

    This photo is a view from the Jazz Cafe. The cafe is on the first floor of Foyle's bookshop on Charing Cross road. This position by the window is great for watching the world go by with the essential musical background of jazz.
