My favourite place in the world is Herm island, its 3 miles away from Guernsey a little bit of paradise...

This is one of my favourites. It's from Mae Hong Son last year, but the quality isn't that great.
I'll try for a better one when I get there tomorrow.

I love Wong Kar-Wai films, especially In the Mood for Love and Chungking Express. So I love this photo I took at Jalan Alor in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I feel it really gets the heat and bustle of an average night in SE Asia.

@Invincible_summer....you've really caught the mood in that shot

A picture I didn't take but always wished I had:

I haven't really travelled outside of the US, but here are some pictures I took with my phone during a trip to Abhayagiri last year.

@Jason - Really cool to see monastery life in that candid way.

@Jayantha - Looks amazing! Was it hard to get around to get that shot? Seems pretty remote.

Fairly rugged driving but nothing like the drive up to machu picchu. I'm fairly sure we were on a small day tour during this and we took a bus.

The two most remote places I've been were Peru and new Zealand, hard to decide which was more amazing, but I think nz wins by a slight lead.

This was taken on top of a mountain glacier at around 9000 feet in nz near mount cook.

Agree @Jayantha re: south island of NZ. It is the most stunning scenery I've experienced anywhere on earth (Milford Sound has to be seen to be believed!)

Not my photo but this gives an impression of the landscape.

The crazy thing is that people from the North Island of NZ don't travel to the South island as a general rule. They are bonkers...... :screwy:

This statue is just now being finished on a hill overlooking Pai, in northwest Thailand. It's hard to tell from the picture, but it's pretty big, maybe 30-40ft.

Here is the incredible new stupa being built at Wat Tham Seua near Krabi town.
