How about Yosemite Valley or Half Dome
Sorry, no pictures here as I don't have any. I've seen some real stunners posted here though so I thought I'd throw out the idea.

You're welcome to anything on my site.

How about Goudi's "La Sagrada Familia" Cathedral in Barcelona?


Or I have the basilica at Montserrat, Spain

I take great pleasure in saying that I will not be trying out for this. Nothing that I have is available, that way nothing will NOT be chosen.

I promised myself this, and this is it.

All of Charleston is a monument, but, haha, you wouldn't want Ft Sumter, not the Revolutionary War sites, not the Civil War sites, etc.

Gosh I promised myself this.

ginger

And you all who live around me, please let me know if you are going to photograph these sites............I know you don't have to, but I would appreciate it.

These are all awesome.

Most of these I am very interested in using, and have been keeping a list. Once we get closer to the number we are looking for, and closer to the deadline I will start sending you guys messages for information on the copyright message and all that jazz. In the meantime though I just wanted to say how awesome those pictures are.

Few in Silicon Valley may recognize this small bit of history.

On this site sat the Del Monte Canning Company. Purchased by the
Libby's Company, the cannery was a part of Silicon Valley during a time
when agriculture was king. Canning everything from tomatoes to peaches
in its heyday, it's now home to Applied Signal.

Unfortunately, this is probably not the best light for this shot.

so far so good... I have roughly 30 photos I am interested in using here in this thread. So those of you who are saying "he will never use my photo", you can see the odds are pretty good that I will! Besides which, ideally I am looking for another 70 landmarks around the world in the next two weeks.

Some areas I would love a few photos from:
- Alaska
- Hawaii (I would love a higher res version of Haleakala kudbegud)
- South America (Rio de Janeiro?)
- Russia (St Basil's?)
- China (Great Wall?)
- Australia
- Africa (Egypt pyramids?)
- Italy
- A shot or two from Paris would be nice

I would also love more places in the South and SouthEast. Nebraska, Texas, Missouri, Georgia, Virginia, Kentucky... etc.

And lastly, do we not have any canucks?

You guys are a huge help, I just figured I would spell out what I was still looking for so that people with those photos can (hopefully) step forward. I know some of you didn't submit a lot of those above because I didn't initially ask for them. My bad.

Thanks again!

Hmmm.... You mention Virginia. I'm in the Fredericksubrg area. There are several civil war historical sites around here. There's also "Ferry Farm" (where Washington supposedly chopped down the cherry tree). I could possibly even go up farther north to Mount Vernon if any of those interest you... (I don't currently have any worth sharing).

I don't know how photogenic any of those sites are, but that is definitely the type of thing we are looking for.

For the low low price of airfare and lodging I would gladly go to the above mentioned locations and take the best pictures I could.
How does that sound? Fair trade, price of travel for some beautiful pictures of the location of your choosing?? I'm willing if you are.

Ok, I'll try to get out and see if I can come up with something.

In the meantime, how about a shot from the Appalachian Mountains (Skyline Drive to be more specific).
