type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Garden searches pick up after Labor Day, when people plan fall color and next spring&amp;rsquo;s tulip trips. These 15 licensed photos cover Keukenhof, Versailles, Kew, Giverny, Japanese gardens, Singapore&amp;rsquo;s Supertrees, and North American estates. Credit sits under each photo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Keukenhof, Netherlands&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tulip beds in South Holland. The spring photo people still search in August when they book next year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/26Y_1599_2.jpg/1280px-26Y_1599_2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Tulip flower beds at Keukenhof Netherlands&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;2. Palace of Versailles gardens&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The French formal garden from the air. Axes, basins, and the palace as a single composition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/95/Vue_a%C3%A9rienne_du_domaine_de_Versailles_par_ToucanWings_-_Creative_Commons_By_Sa_3.0_-_081_%28cropped%29.jpg/1280px-Vue_a%C3%A9rienne_du_domaine_de_Versailles_par_ToucanWings_-_Creative_Commons_By_Sa_3.0_-_081_%28cropped%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Aerial view of Palace of Versailles gardens France&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. Kew Gardens Palm House&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Victorian glass and iron in London. Kew is still the UK&amp;rsquo;s most searched botanic garden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Kew_Gardens_Palm_House%2C_London_-_July_2009.jpg/1280px-Kew_Gardens_Palm_House%2C_London_-_July_2009.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Palm House glasshouse Kew Gardens London&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;4. Monet&amp;rsquo;s water lilies, Giverny&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The pond that became the paintings. A day trip from Paris that is a garden first, museum second.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Giverny_nympheas.jpg/1280px-Giverny_nympheas.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Water lilies on pond at Giverny France&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;5. Villa d&amp;rsquo;Este, Tivoli&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Renaissance fountains on a hillside east of Rome. Water stairs and cypress, not a flower show.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Villa_Deste_park_Rometta_2011_2.jpg/1280px-Villa_Deste_park_Rometta_2011_2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Villa d Este park fountains Tivoli Italy&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;6. Generalife, Granada&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Patio de la Acequia above the Alhambra. Long water, clipped hedges, and Sierra light.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/Patio_de_la_Acequia_%28Generalife%29_-_DSC07863_%28slightly_cropped_and_sharpened%29.jpg/1280px-Patio_de_la_Acequia_%28Generalife%29_-_DSC07863_%28slightly_cropped_and_sharpened%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Patio de la Acequia Generalife gardens Granada Spain&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;7. Majorelle Garden, Marrakech&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yves Klein-adjacent blue walls and cactus. Morocco&amp;rsquo;s most photographed garden after the medina shots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Le_jardin_des_majorelle_40.JPG/1280px-Le_jardin_des_majorelle_40.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Blue walls and plants Majorelle Garden Marrakech&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;8. Kenroku-en, Kanazawa&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A stone lantern over a pond. One of Japan&amp;rsquo;s Three Great Gardens, quieter than Kyoto in peak season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/31/Stone_lantern_Kenrokuen.jpg/1280px-Stone_lantern_Kenrokuen.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Stone lantern at Kenrokuen garden Kanazawa Japan&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

These 15 licensed pictures cover Serengeti lions, Indian tigers, pandas, penguins, whales, and a monarch. Credit sits under each photo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Lion, Serengeti&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A male in tall grass. Tanzania&amp;rsquo;s Serengeti is still the first result for &amp;ldquo;safari photo.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/020_The_lion_king_Snyggve_in_the_Serengeti_National_Park_Photo_by_Giles_Laurent.jpg/1280px-020_The_lion_king_Snyggve_in_the_Serengeti_National_Park_Photo_by_Giles_Laurent.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Male lion in grass Serengeti National Park Tanzania&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;2. African elephant&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A bull in open country. Tusks and ears are the silhouette people save from East and Southern Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/African_Elephant_%28Loxodonta_africana%29_male_%2817289351322%29.jpg/1280px-African_Elephant_%28Loxodonta_africana%29_male_%2817289351322%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;African elephant bull walking in open savanna&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. Giraffe, Mikumi&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A tall profile against Tanzanian bush. Giraffes photograph cleaner than most safari mammals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Giraffe_Mikumi_National_Park.jpg/1280px-Giraffe_Mikumi_National_Park.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Giraffe in Mikumi National Park Tanzania&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;4. Cheetah, South Africa&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A male looking left. Speed is the story; the face is what people actually click.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/Male_cheetah_facing_left_in_South_Africa.jpg/1280px-Male_cheetah_facing_left_in_South_Africa.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Male cheetah facing left South Africa&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;5. Bengal tiger, Sanjay Dubri&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A tiger in an Indian reserve. Tiger safari searches spike whenever a viral cub photo circulates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/Bengal_tiger_in_Sanjay_Dubri_Tiger_Reserve_December_2024_by_Tisha_Mukherjee_11.jpg/1280px-Bengal_tiger_in_Sanjay_Dubri_Tiger_Reserve_December_2024_by_Tisha_Mukherjee_11.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Bengal tiger in Sanjay Dubri Tiger Reserve India&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;6. Giant panda&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Black-and-white in bamboo. Still one of the most searched animal portraits on Earth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;7. Red panda&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Himalayan tree-dweller, not a cub version of the giant panda. Rust coat, ringed tail.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;9. Polar bear, Alaska&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;White fur on Arctic ice. Arctic cruise and Churchill searches still pair with this silhouette.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;10. Emperor penguins, Antarctica&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Adults and a chick on Snow Hill Island. The colony photo people mean by &amp;ldquo;penguin.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;11. Atlantic puffin&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Orange beak, cliff nesting. Iceland, Maine, and UK islands share this bird in summer searches.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/Puffin_%28Fratercula_arctica%29.jpg/1280px-Puffin_%28Fratercula_arctica%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Atlantic puffin with orange beak&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;12. Humpback whale, Cabo San Lucas&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A breach off Baja. Winter whale-watch season is already in flight-search roundups.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Humpback_whale_breaching_off_Cabo_San_Lucas.jpg/1280px-Humpback_whale_breaching_off_Cabo_San_Lucas.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Humpback whale breaching off Cabo San Lucas Mexico&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;13. Giant otters&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A family in South American water. Not sea otters &amp;mdash; longer, louder, and rarer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Giant_otters_%28Pteronura_brasiliensis%29.jpg/1280px-Giant_otters_%28Pteronura_brasiliensis%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Giant otters Pteronura brasiliensis in water&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

These 15 licensed photos cover Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Utah&amp;rsquo;s red rock, Glacier, the Tetons, the Smokies, and Denali &amp;mdash; not the beach posts. Credit sits under each photo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Half Dome, Yosemite&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The granite face over Yosemite Valley. California&amp;rsquo;s most searched park photo after any holiday weekend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;2. Grand Canyon South Rim&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mather Point looking into the layered canyon. The park most people mean when they search &amp;ldquo;Grand Canyon.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. Lower Falls, Yellowstone&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, not Arizona. Steam, pine, and a 308-foot drop.&lt;/p&gt;

These 15 licensed photos cover the tents on Theresienwiese, the parade, the Ferris wheel, Hofbr&amp;auml;uhaus, and the city day trips people book around the festival. Credit sits under each photo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. O&amp;rsquo;zapft is &amp;mdash; the tents open&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Beer tents on Theresienwiese at the start of the season. This is the image search result for Oktoberfest itself.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;2. Theresienwiese from the air&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Wiesn as a city of canvas. Aerial shots show how large the festival ground really is.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. Bavaria statue and Ruhmeshalle&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bronze Bavaria looks over the meadow. Ludwig I&amp;rsquo;s hall of fame sits behind her &amp;mdash; the landmark at the edge of the fair.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;4. Opening parade through the tents&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brewery wagons and marching bands on the first Saturday. Crowds line the lanes between the big tents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/42/Oktoberfest_2006_%281%29.jpg/1280px-Oktoberfest_2006_%281%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Oktoberfest parade through beer tent lanes Munich&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;5. Horses and brewery carriages&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Draft horses pull the barrels. The costume and wagon photos are what people save for the parade.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Oktoberfest_2006_%282%29.jpg/1280px-Oktoberfest_2006_%282%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Brewery horses and carriages at Oktoberfest Munich parade&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;6. Tent roofs at dusk&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pointed roofs and flags after the daytime rush. This is the Wiesn as a skyline, not a street shot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Oktoberfest_-_Munich_2009_-_02.JPG/1280px-Oktoberfest_-_Munich_2009_-_02.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Oktoberfest tent roofs and flags at dusk Munich&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;7. Inside the Hofbr&amp;auml;uzelt&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Long tables, brass, and a packed hall. Reservations for the big tents sell out months ahead.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;8. Wiesenstrasse outside the Hofbr&amp;auml;u tent&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The lane between rides and the tent wall. Most first-time visitors photograph this walk, not only the beer hall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/Oktoberfest_Hofbr%C3%A4uzelt_belebte_Wiesenstrasse.jpg/1280px-Oktoberfest_Hofbr%C3%A4uzelt_belebte_Wiesenstrasse.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Crowded Wiesenstrasse outside Hofbrau tent Oktoberfest Munich&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;9. Horse team at the Hofbr&amp;auml;u tent&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A brewery team posed in front of the tent. Classic Wiesn postcard, still used in 2026 travel roundups.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;10. The Ferris wheel&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Riesenrad over the meadow. Night rides look over the whole tent city.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Oktoberfest_2005_-_Riesenrad.jpg/1280px-Oktoberfest_2005_-_Riesenrad.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Ferris wheel Riesenrad at Oktoberfest Munich&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;11. Hofbr&amp;auml;uhaus am Platzl&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The year-round beer hall in the old town. Visitors who miss a tent reservation often end up here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/Hofbrauhaus.JPG/1280px-Hofbrauhaus.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Hofbrauhaus am Platzl beer hall Munich&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;12. Marienplatz and the New Town Hall&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Glockenspiel square. This is the first Munich photo after the festival grounds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/73/Rathaus_and_Marienplatz_from_Peterskirche_-_August_2006.jpg/1280px-Rathaus_and_Marienplatz_from_Peterskirche_-_August_2006.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Marienplatz and New Town Hall Munich from St Peters tower&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;13. Frauenkirche&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The twin onion domes that mark the city from every postcard. Visible from many Wiesn approaches.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Frauenkirche_Munich_-_View_from_Peterskirche_Tower2.jpg/1280px-Frauenkirche_Munich_-_View_from_Peterskirche_Tower2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Frauenkirche twin towers Munich from Peterskirche&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;14. Nymphenburg Palace&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Baroque palace and canal on a rest day. A quieter Munich photo between tent sessions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Image-Schloss_Nymphenburg_Munich_CC_edit3.jpg/1280px-Image-Schloss_Nymphenburg_Munich_CC_edit3.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Nymphenburg Palace facade and canal Munich&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;15. Neuschwanstein day trip&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The castle most Oktoberfest visitors add if they have one extra day in Bavaria. Same search cluster as Munich flights.&lt;/p&gt;

These 15 licensed landscapes cover Reykjav&amp;iacute;k, waterfalls, black sand, Bilbao, San Sebasti&amp;aacute;n, Asturias, and Galicia &amp;mdash; the path people still look up. Credit sits under each photo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Reykjav&amp;iacute;k from Hallgr&amp;iacute;mskirkja&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Colorful rooftops and the harbour from the church tower. This is the first Iceland photo most travelers want.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/04/Reykjav%C3%ADk%2C_view_from_Hallgr%C3%ADmskirkja_%282%29.jpg/1280px-Reykjav%C3%ADk%2C_view_from_Hallgr%C3%ADmskirkja_%282%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Reykjavik rooftops and harbour from Hallgrimskirkja Iceland&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;2. Hallgr&amp;iacute;mskirkja&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The concrete church that dominates Reykjav&amp;iacute;k&amp;rsquo;s skyline. Eclipse week put this silhouette back in search results.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. Blue Lagoon reflections&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Milky geothermal water and lava rock. Not on the totality path itself, but still the spa photo paired with Iceland trips.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;4. &amp;THORN;ingvellir National Park&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The rift valley where Eurasian and North American plates pull apart. A classic Golden Circle stop near the capital.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;5. Gullfoss&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Golden Falls from above. One of Iceland&amp;rsquo;s most searched waterfalls after any travel spike.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Gullfoss_from_the_Air_%28cropped%29.jpg/1280px-Gullfoss_from_the_Air_%28cropped%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Aerial view of Gullfoss waterfall Iceland&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;6. Seljalandsfoss&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Walk behind the curtain. South-coast Iceland in one frame.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;7. Sk&amp;oacute;gafoss&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A 60-meter wall of water on the south coast. Rainbows are common; crowds are too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;8. Reynisfjara black sand&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Basalt stacks and Atlantic surf. Looking west toward Dyrh&amp;oacute;laey is the postcard.&lt;/p&gt;

Credit sits under each photo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Lalbaugcha Raja, Mumbai&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mumbai&amp;rsquo;s most famous public Ganesh. Crowds line up for days; this is the idol that dominates festival searches every August.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Lalbaugcha_Raja.jpg/1280px-Lalbaugcha_Raja.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Lalbaugcha Raja Ganesh idol Mumbai festival&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;2. Lalbaugcha Raja close-up&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gold, flowers, and the calm face of Bappa. Close frames like this are what people save from pandal visits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. Ganesh Chaturthi festival crowd&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A decorated pandal and the crush of devotees. This is the street-level energy of the ten-day festival.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;4. Idol workshops, Mumbai&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clay Ganeshas drying in rows before the festival. Large-scale production starts weeks ahead of Chaturthi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;5. Khairatabad Vinayakudu, Hyderabad&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of India&amp;rsquo;s tallest festival Ganeshas. Hyderabad&amp;rsquo;s Khairatabad idol is a landmark every Chaturthi season.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;6. Dagadusheth Halwai Ganapati, Pune&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pune&amp;rsquo;s historic temple Ganesha dressed for the festival. Gold work and lights turn the shrine into a night landmark.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;9. Lord Ganesha pandal, Vidisha&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A 2025 pandal outside the big metros. Proof the festival is national, not only a Mumbai story.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;10. Bappa idol portrait&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A classic household-style Ganesha against a simple backdrop. Home installations start on Chaturthi morning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;11. Ganesh Visarjan procession&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Drums, color, and the idol headed for the water. Visarjan is the emotional peak after days of celebration.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;12. Gateway of India, Mumbai&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The waterfront arch that sits in every Mumbai festival travel story. Immersion routes and city walks pass nearby.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Mumbai_03-2016_30_Gateway_of_India.jpg/1280px-Mumbai_03-2016_30_Gateway_of_India.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Gateway of India arch on Mumbai waterfront&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;13. Bandra&amp;ndash;Worli Sea Link&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mumbai&amp;rsquo;s skyline bridge at dusk. Festival visitors pair pandal hopping with this city postcard.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;14. Shivaji Park, Dadar&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Open ground in the heart of festival Mumbai. Neighborhood mandals and evening aartis fill parks like this.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;15. Elephanta Trimurti&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The three-faced rock carving in Mumbai harbour. Older than any pandal &amp;mdash; a reminder that Ganesha country has deep stone history too.&lt;/p&gt;

These 15 licensed night-sky photographs cover eclipses, meteors, the Milky Way, aurora, and dark-sky places people are searching now. Credit sits under each photo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Partial lunar eclipse, March 2026&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A recent partial eclipse, Earth&amp;rsquo;s shadow biting into the Full Moon. This is the look to expect again on 27&amp;ndash;28 August.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;2. Lunar eclipse over Kuwait, 2017&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Orange umbra on a city horizon. Eclipses look different every time; the color comes from sunlight bent through Earth&amp;rsquo;s atmosphere.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. Full Moon (Pournami)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An unobstructed Full Moon fills the frame. Before any eclipse, this is the baseline people search for moonrise photos.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;4. Perseid meteor streak&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A single Perseid cutting the sky. The shower peaked mid-August; searches stay high through the lunar eclipse weekend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;5. Aurora and Perseids&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Green aurora and a meteor in one frame. Rare overlap, but exactly the combo people typed after the Aug 12 sky events.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/31/Aurora_and_perseids.jpg/1280px-Aurora_and_perseids.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Northern lights aurora with Perseid meteor&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;6. Perseid over Luhasoo bog, Estonia&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One Perseid, the Milky Way, and Andromeda above a bog. Dark-sky countryside beats city rooftops for meteor hunting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;7. Milky Way rising, Chile&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The galactic center climbing over a dry horizon. ESO&amp;rsquo;s Paranal skies are why Chile keeps winning dark-sky searches.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Rise_of_the_Milky_Way.jpg/1280px-Rise_of_the_Milky_Way.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Milky Way rising over dark horizon Chile ESO&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;8. Laser and Milky Way at VLT&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A sodium laser guide star punching into the Milky Way. Observatory photos still rank for &amp;ldquo;night sky photography.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/ESO-VLT-Laser-phot-33a-07.jpg/1280px-ESO-VLT-Laser-phot-33a-07.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;ESO VLT laser guide star under Milky Way Chile&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;9. Milky Way over Namib-Naukluft&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sand dunes and the galactic band. One of the darkest parks on Earth, and a staple of dark-sky travel lists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/085_Milky_way_seen_from_Namib-Naukluft_National_Park_Photo_by_Giles_Laurent.jpg/1280px-085_Milky_way_seen_from_Namib-Naukluft_National_Park_Photo_by_Giles_Laurent.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Milky Way over Namib-Naukluft National Park dunes&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;10. Headlands Dark Sky Park, Michigan&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A telescope under the Milky Way at a certified International Dark Sky Park. U.S. eclipse travelers still look for spots like this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/aa/Telescope_and_Milky_Way_at_Headlands_International_Dark_Sky_Park_MI_%2854703999687%29.jpg/1280px-Telescope_and_Milky_Way_at_Headlands_International_Dark_Sky_Park_MI_%2854703999687%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Telescope under Milky Way Headlands Dark Sky Park Michigan&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;11. Aurora over Eielson, Alaska&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Curtains of green over snow. After Iceland eclipse tourism, aurora searches remain elevated into late August.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Aurora_borealis_over_Eielson_Air_Force_Base%2C_Alaska.jpg/1280px-Aurora_borealis_over_Eielson_Air_Force_Base%2C_Alaska.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Aurora borealis green curtains over Alaska snow&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;12. Northern lights over M&amp;yacute;vatn, Iceland&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aurora above Iceland&amp;rsquo;s volcanic lake country. The eclipse path put Iceland in headlines; night photos keep the interest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/039_Northern_lights_over_M%C3%BDvatn_%28Iceland%29_Photo_by_Giles_Laurent.jpg/1280px-039_Northern_lights_over_M%C3%BDvatn_%28Iceland%29_Photo_by_Giles_Laurent.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Northern lights over Myvatn lake Iceland&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;13. Star trails&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Long exposures turn Earth&amp;rsquo;s rotation into circles. A classic technique for eclipse-weekend night shoots when meteors are quiet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/All_In_A_Spin_Star_trail.jpg/1280px-All_In_A_Spin_Star_trail.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Circular star trail long exposure night sky ESO&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;14. Andromeda Galaxy&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our nearest major galaxy as a soft oval. Phone cameras barely catch it; this is the deep-sky target people still chase.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/05/Andromeda_Galaxy_2025.png/1280px-Andromeda_Galaxy_2025.png&quot; alt=&quot;Andromeda Galaxy spiral arms deep sky photo 2025&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;15. Orion Nebula&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hubble&amp;rsquo;s mosaic of the star factory in Orion. Not a backyard snap, but it anchors every &amp;ldquo;best night sky photos&amp;rdquo; gallery for a reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f3/Orion_Nebula_-_Hubble_2006_mosaic_18000.jpg/1280px-Orion_Nebula_-_Hubble_2006_mosaic_18000.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Orion Nebula Hubble Space Telescope mosaic&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

These 15 licensed photographs cover pookkalam, snake boats, backwaters, Kathakali, and the Kerala landscapes people search while the festival is on. Credit sits under each photo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Onapookkalam, Kerala&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The flower carpet at the heart of Onam. Fresh petals, layered rings, and a design that gets bigger each day of the ten-day festival.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Onapookkalam.jpg/1280px-Onapookkalam.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Onam pookkalam flower carpet Kerala&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;2. Vallamkali snake boats&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chundan vallams packed with rowers. The boat race is the moving image of Onam, especially around Alappuzha and the Pamba.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ef/Boat_race_chundan.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Kerala chundan snake boat packed with rowers&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. Houseboat on the backwaters&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A kettuvallam sliding through palm-lined canals. This is the Kerala photo that travel searches still return first.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/House_Boat_DSW.jpg/1280px-House_Boat_DSW.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Traditional Kerala houseboat on the backwaters&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;4. Alappuzha boat jetty&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Venice of the East, except the boats are working ferries. Onam week the water is as busy as the roads.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e4/Alappuzha_Boat_Beauty_W.jpg/1280px-Alappuzha_Boat_Beauty_W.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Boats and jetties at Alappuzha Kerala&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;5. Kathakali&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Green face, red makeup, and a stare that holds. Onam stages in Kerala still use Kathakali as the night&#39;s showpiece.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Kathakali_-Play_with_Kaurava.jpg/1280px-Kathakali_-Play_with_Kaurava.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Kathakali performer in costume Kerala&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;6. Munnar tea hills&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Folded green estates in Idukki. After a festival meal, this is the landscape people search for a Kerala holiday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Munnar_Overview.jpg/1280px-Munnar_Overview.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Munnar tea plantation hills Kerala&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;7. Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Thiruvananthapuram&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gold-plated gopuram in the state capital. A Kerala landmark that sits in the same photo set as Onam travel stories.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/Sree_Padmanabhaswamy_temple_01.jpg/1280px-Sree_Padmanabhaswamy_temple_01.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Padmanabhaswamy Temple gopuram Thiruvananthapuram Kerala&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;8. Thrissur Pooram kudamatom&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Umbrellas changing on elephant backs. Pooram is a different festival, but this is the Kerala spectacle image that rides the same search wave in August.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Kudamatom_at_thrissur_pooram_2013_7618.JPG/1280px-Kudamatom_at_thrissur_pooram_2013_7618.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Colorful umbrellas kudamatom at Thrissur Pooram Kerala&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;9. Chinese fishing nets, Kochi&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cantilever nets at sunset on the Fort Kochi waterfront. One of the most searched Kerala photos after houseboats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Kochi%2C_Fishing_nets_at_sunset%2C_Kerala%2C_India.jpg/1280px-Kochi%2C_Fishing_nets_at_sunset%2C_Kerala%2C_India.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Chinese fishing nets at sunset Fort Kochi Kerala&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;10. Kovalam Beach&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crescent sand south of Thiruvananthapuram. Lighthouse, surf, and the last-light color that Onam long-weekend travelers look up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Kovalam_beach_trivandrum_kerala.jpg/1280px-Kovalam_beach_trivandrum_kerala.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Kovalam beach Trivandrum Kerala&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;11. Athirappilly Falls&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kerala&#39;s widest waterfall, loudest at monsoon. Onam sits in the wet season, so this drop is running when the festival is on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/The_View_of_the_Athirapally_Falls_during_the_onset_of_Monsoon.jpg/1280px-The_View_of_the_Athirapally_Falls_during_the_onset_of_Monsoon.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Athirappilly Falls at monsoon onset Kerala&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;12. Kumarakom, Vembanad Lake&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Birds, paddy, and a wide lake west of Kottayam. The still version of the backwaters photo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/Kumarkom.jpg/1280px-Kumarkom.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Kumarakom backwaters and palms Vembanad Kerala&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;13. Periyar National Park&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A lake and sanctuary in Thekkady. Elephants at the waterline &amp;mdash; the wildlife half of a Kerala Onam trip.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Periyar_National_Park.JPG/1280px-Periyar_National_Park.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Lake and forest in Periyar National Park Thekkady Kerala&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;14. Chinese fishing nets, Ashtamudi&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nets coming up at sunrise on Ashtamudi Lake, Kollam. Same Kerala geometry as Kochi, quieter light.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Chinese_Fishing_Net_Raising_Birds_Sunrise_Ashtamudi_Kollam_Mar22_A7C_01784.jpg/1280px-Chinese_Fishing_Net_Raising_Birds_Sunrise_Ashtamudi_Kollam_Mar22_A7C_01784.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Chinese fishing net at sunrise Ashtamudi Lake Kollam Kerala&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;15. Theyyam, north Kerala&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not Onam, but the other Kerala image people save in festival week: theyyam at a village shrine, costume larger than the dancer.&lt;/p&gt;

These 15 places still dominate travel-photo searches: Santorini, Machu Picchu, Petra, the Taj, canyons, and night skies. Every image is used with a free license. Credit sits under each photo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Oia, Santorini, Greece&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;White houses, blue domes, and a caldera drop into the Aegean. Sunset in Oia is the photo everyone still tries to take.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Oia_Santorini.jpg/1280px-Oia_Santorini.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;White buildings and blue domes of Oia Santorini Greece&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;2. Machu Picchu, Peru&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inca stonework in the clouds. The classic terraces-and-Huayna-Picchu frame is why this ruins site never leaves photography lists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/Machu_Picchu%2C_2023_%28012%29.jpg/1280px-Machu_Picchu%2C_2023_%28012%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Machu Picchu Inca ruins and terraces Peru 2023&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. Ad-Deir, Petra, Jordan&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Monastery at Petra, cut from rose stone. Walk up, turn around, and the facade fills the canyon like a movie set that is real.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/Al_Deir_Petra.JPG/1280px-Al_Deir_Petra.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Ad-Deir Monastery facade carved in sandstone Petra Jordan&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;4. Taj Mahal, India&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;White marble, a reflecting pool, and symmetry that still wins. Early morning is when the crowds have not yet swallowed the frame.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/Taj_Mahal_%28Edited%29.jpeg/1280px-Taj_Mahal_%28Edited%29.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;Taj Mahal and reflecting pool Agra India&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;5. Grand Canyon, USA&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Layered rock, a river that looks like a thread, one tree for scale. It is still one of the most photographed holes in the ground on Earth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/31/Canyon_River_Tree_%28165872763%29.jpeg/1280px-Canyon_River_Tree_%28165872763%29.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;Grand Canyon layers Colorado River and a lone tree&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;6. Moraine Lake, Banff, Canada&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Valley of the Ten Peaks and water so blue it looks fake. Banff&#39;s most requested photo, for a reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/Moraine_Lake_17092005.jpg/1280px-Moraine_Lake_17092005.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Moraine Lake turquoise water and Ten Peaks Banff Canada&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;7. Cappadocia, Turkey&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hot-air balloons over fairy chimneys at dawn. Ortahisar&#39;s rock castle sits in the middle of the scene.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Cappadocia_balloon_trip%2C_Ortahisar_Castle_%2811893715185%29.jpg/1280px-Cappadocia_balloon_trip%2C_Ortahisar_Castle_%2811893715185%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Hot air balloons over Cappadocia and Ortahisar Castle Turkey&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;8. Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The world&#39;s largest salt flat. After rain it becomes a mirror; in the dry season it is a white grid to the horizon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/Salar_Uyuni_au01.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Salar de Uyuni salt flat horizon Bolivia&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;9. Antelope Canyon, USA&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A slot canyon on Navajo land in Arizona. Light shafts and sandstone curves &amp;mdash; permits matter, the photo still works.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/USA_Antelope-Canyon.jpg/1280px-USA_Antelope-Canyon.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Sunbeam in Upper Antelope Canyon sandstone Arizona&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;10. Great Wall at Jinshanling, China&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Watchtowers walking a ridge into the haze. Jinshanling is the photographer&#39;s section: restored enough to walk, wild enough to look old.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/23/The_Great_Wall_of_China_at_Jinshanling-edit.jpg/1280px-The_Great_Wall_of_China_at_Jinshanling-edit.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Great Wall of China watchtowers at Jinshanling&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;11. Fushimi Inari, Kyoto, Japan&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thousands of vermilion torii on a forest path. The lanterns and repeating gates are a photography cliche that still lands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Torii_path_with_lantern_at_Fushimi_Inari_Taisha_Shrine%2C_Kyoto%2C_Japan.jpg/1280px-Torii_path_with_lantern_at_Fushimi_Inari_Taisha_Shrine%2C_Kyoto%2C_Japan.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Vermilion torii gates path Fushimi Inari Shrine Kyoto Japan&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;12. Milford Sound, New Zealand&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A fiord wall that goes straight into the water. Mitre Peak is the triangle everyone knows even if they cannot name it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/Milford_Sound_%28New_Zealand%29.JPG/1280px-Milford_Sound_%28New_Zealand%29.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Mitre Peak and cliffs at Milford Sound New Zealand&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;13. Northern Lights&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aurora over a winter landscape. After the 2026 eclipse and Perseids, night-sky searches stay hot. This is what people mean by &amp;ldquo;see the lights.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c4/Aurora_borealis.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Green northern lights aurora borealis over snowy landscape&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;14. Zhangye Danxia, China&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rainbow rock in Gansu. The stripes are mineral, not paint, and they photograph like a graphic novel landscape.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;15. Matterhorn, Switzerland&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The pyramid peak on the Swiss-Italian border. From a high hut it still looks like the logo on a chocolate bar, only bigger.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/Matterhorn_from_Domh%C3%BCtte_-_2.jpg/1280px-Matterhorn_from_Domh%C3%BCtte_-_2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Matterhorn pyramid peak seen from Domhutte Switzerland&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

These 15 licensed pictures cover Iguazu, Victoria, Iceland, Yosemite, Niagara, and quieter drops that still stop a scroll. Credit sits under each photo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Iguazu Falls, Argentina and Brazil&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A whole system of drops, not one curtain. From the air the Iguazu River simply vanishes into mist at the border of two countries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Aerial_Foz_de_Igua%C3%A7u_26_Nov_2005.jpg/1280px-Aerial_Foz_de_Igua%C3%A7u_26_Nov_2005.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Aerial view of Iguazu Falls between Argentina and Brazil&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;2. Victoria Falls, Zambia and Zimbabwe&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Locally called Mosi-oa-Tunya, the smoke that thunders. In high water the spray becomes its own weather system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Cataratas_Victoria%2C_Zambia-Zimbabue%2C_2018-07-27%2C_DD_04.jpg/1280px-Cataratas_Victoria%2C_Zambia-Zimbabue%2C_2018-07-27%2C_DD_04.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River Zambia Zimbabwe&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. Angel Falls, Venezuela&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The world&#39;s tallest uninterrupted waterfall, dropping off Auy&amp;aacute;n-tepui in Canaima National Park. The ribbon of water looks impossibly thin until you see the scale of the cliff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/SaltoAngel1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Angel Falls dropping from Auyantepui Venezuela&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;4. Niagara Falls, USA and Canada&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Three falls in one view: Horseshoe, American, and Bridal Veil. It is touristy because the geology actually delivers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/3Falls_Niagara.jpg/1280px-3Falls_Niagara.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Three Niagara Falls seen together USA and Canada&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;5. Yosemite Falls, California&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;North America&#39;s tallest waterfall, in freeze-frame in winter. When the park is white, the drop reads as a chalk line down granite.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Yosemite_falls_winter_2010.JPG/1280px-Yosemite_falls_winter_2010.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Yosemite Falls in winter Yosemite National Park California&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;6. Sk&amp;oacute;gafoss, Iceland&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A 60-meter curtain on Iceland&#39;s south coast. You can walk to the basin; the rainbows are not a filter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/2008-05-24_35_Sk%C3%B3gafoss.jpg/1280px-2008-05-24_35_Sk%C3%B3gafoss.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Skogafoss waterfall curtain on Icelands south coast&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;7. Gullfoss, Iceland&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Golden Falls on the Hv&amp;iacute;t&amp;aacute; river. From above, the water turns at a right angle and disappears into a canyon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Gullfoss_from_the_Air_%28cropped%29.jpg/1280px-Gullfoss_from_the_Air_%28cropped%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Aerial view of Gullfoss waterfall Iceland&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;8. Seljalandsfoss, Iceland&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can walk behind this one. The path is wet, the light comes through the water, and every frame looks like a desktop wallpaper.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Idyllic_landscape_with_a_waterfall_%28Unsplash%29.jpg/1280px-Idyllic_landscape_with_a_waterfall_%28Unsplash%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Seljalandsfoss waterfall with path behind the water Iceland&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;9. Plitvice Lakes, Croatia&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not one fall &amp;mdash; a chain of turquoise lakes linked by travertine dams. The park is a waterfall system you walk through.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/View_in_Plitvice_Lakes_National_Park.jpg/1280px-View_in_Plitvice_Lakes_National_Park.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Turquoise lakes and waterfalls in Plitvice Lakes National Park Croatia&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;10. Multnomah Falls, Oregon&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A two-drop fall in the Columbia River Gorge, with a Benson Bridge that puts people in the shot whether you want them or not. Arrive early.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;11. Rhine Falls, Switzerland&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Europe&#39;s most powerful waterfall near Schaffhausen. Boats go close enough that the rock in the middle becomes a viewing platform in spray.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;12. Kaieteur Falls, Guyana&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A single 226-meter drop in the Amazon basin, with almost no crowds. Potaro River water goes over the edge and does not come back in the frame.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;13. Havasu Falls, Arizona&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Blue-green water on the Havasupai Reservation. The color is mineral, not a preset. Permits are required; the photo is the reward.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;14. Gocta Falls, Peru&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A 771-meter two-drop fall in Amazonas, Peru, unknown to most maps until the 2000s. Cloud forest plus a white streak down the cliff.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;15. Jog Falls, India&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Four streams of the Sharavathi in Karnataka, loudest in monsoon. India&#39;s tallest plunge waterfall, and still under-photographed outside the region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Disney-look castle above Bavaria&#39;s Hohenschwangau. Ludwig II built it as a private retreat; millions now queue for the view from Marienbr&amp;uuml;cke.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;2. Edinburgh Castle, Scotland&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A volcanic plug in the middle of the city. The esplanade shot is the one that shows why the skyline still belongs to the garrison.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. Prague Castle, Czechia&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The largest ancient castle complex in the world, seen from Petř&amp;iacute;n. Spires, palaces, and the river sit in one frame.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/20190817_View_of_Prague_Castle_from_Pet%C5%99%C3%ADn_1345_5542.jpg/1280px-20190817_View_of_Prague_Castle_from_Pet%C5%99%C3%ADn_1345_5542.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Prague Castle and Charles Bridge from Petrin hill&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;4. Mont-Saint-Michel, France&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A tidal island abbey off Normandy. At sunset the mount looks less like a monastery and more like a ship of stone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/MSM_sunset_02.JPG/1280px-MSM_sunset_02.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Mont-Saint-Michel abbey island at sunset Normandy France&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;5. Alc&amp;aacute;zar of Segovia, Spain&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A prow-shaped fortress at the meeting of two rivers. The slate turrets are why it keeps showing up in castle roundups.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Alc%C3%A1zar_de_Segovia_-_16.jpg/1280px-Alc%C3%A1zar_de_Segovia_-_16.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Alcazar of Segovia stone fortress and turrets Spain&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;6. Ch&amp;acirc;teau de Chambord, France&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Loire&#39;s showpiece: a forest of chimneys and a double-helix staircase. The northwest facade is the postcard.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;7. Pena Palace, Portugal&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sintra&#39;s painted hilltop palace. Romantic, loud colors, and fog from the Atlantic that makes the walls look unreal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Palacio_Nacional_da_Pena%2C_Sintra%2C_Portugal%2C_2019-05-25%2C_DD_131.jpg/1280px-Palacio_Nacional_da_Pena%2C_Sintra%2C_Portugal%2C_2019-05-25%2C_DD_131.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Colorful Pena Palace on a hill in Sintra Portugal&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;8. Bran Castle, Romania&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marketed as Dracula&#39;s castle, actually a mountain fortress on a trade road. The towers still photograph like a Gothic novel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/Bran_Castle_TB1.jpg/1280px-Bran_Castle_TB1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Bran Castle towers and walls Transylvania Romania&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;9. Hohenzollern Castle, Germany&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A 19th-century rebuild on a cone of rock in Baden-W&amp;uuml;rttemberg. On a clear day it looks suspended over the plain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Burg_Hohenzollern_-_6620-2.jpg/1280px-Burg_Hohenzollern_-_6620-2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Hohenzollern Castle on a mountain top Germany&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;10. Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A three-way sea loch in the Highlands, a stone bridge, and a restored keep. This is the castle on a thousand Scotland postcards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;11. Burg Eltz, Germany&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A family castle in a wooded valley of the Eifel. It has never been destroyed, which is why the timber and turrets still look medieval.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Burg_Eltz.jpg/1280px-Burg_Eltz.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Burg Eltz castle surrounded by forest in Germany&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;12. Cit&amp;eacute; de Carcassonne, France&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A double-walled medieval city in the south of France. From the air the turrets look like a game board that got built for real.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/25/1_carcassonne_aerial_2016.jpg/1280px-1_carcassonne_aerial_2016.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Aerial view of fortified medieval Carcassonne France&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;13. Ch&amp;acirc;teau de Chenonceau, France&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The castle that spans the Cher River. Galleries sit over the water, which is why this Loire ch&amp;acirc;teau photographs unlike the others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/Chateau_de_Chenonceau_2008E_%28adjusted2%29.jpg/1280px-Chateau_de_Chenonceau_2008E_%28adjusted2%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Chenonceau castle spanning the Cher River Loire Valley&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;14. Malbork Castle, Poland&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The largest brick castle in the world, built by the Teutonic Order on the Nogat. From the river it reads as a whole city of red brick.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e6/Zesp%C3%B3%C5%82_Zamku_Krzy%C5%BCackiego_MALBORK_01.jpg/1280px-Zesp%C3%B3%C5%82_Zamku_Krzy%C5%BCackiego_MALBORK_01.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Malbork Castle brick fortress on the Nogat River Poland&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;15. Himeji Castle, Japan&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Japan&#39;s best-preserved feudal castle, nicknamed the White Heron. After the 2015 restoration the plaster still photographs as a clean white keep.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/Himeji_castle_in_may_2015.jpg/1280px-Himeji_castle_in_may_2015.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;White Himeji Castle keep in May 2015 Japan&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. Nā Pali Coast, Kauai&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sheer green cliffs drop into the Pacific along Nā Pali Coast State Park. This is the postcard most people picture when they search Hawaiian islands.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;2. Waimea Canyon, Kauai&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nicknamed the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, Waimea Canyon cuts more than 3,000 feet through red volcanic rock and rainforest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. Haleakalā Sunrise, Maui&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Watching sunrise from the summit of Haleakalā National Park is a Maui ritual. The crater looks like another planet until the light hits it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;4. Lanikai Beach, Oahu&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soft sand, turquoise water, and the two Mokulua islets offshore. Lanikai is small, residential, and consistently ranked among America&#39;s best beaches.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;5. Hanauma Bay, Oahu&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A flooded volcanic crater turned nature preserve. The reef is protected, snorkel numbers are capped, and the water stays a sharp blue-green.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;6. Diamond Head, Oahu&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Honolulu&#39;s volcanic tuff cone is the city&#39;s landmark. The short crater hike ends with a view of Waikiki and the south shore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/Diamond_Head_Volcanic_Cone%2C_Honolulu_%28503701%29_%2820808316082%29.jpg/1280px-Diamond_Head_Volcanic_Cone%2C_Honolulu_%28503701%29_%2820808316082%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Diamond Head volcanic cone at sunrise Honolulu Oahu&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;7. Waikiki Beach, Oahu&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most famous beach in Hawaii, with Diamond Head in the frame. Early morning is when the sand is empty enough to actually see it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;8. ʻAkaka Falls, Big Island&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A 442-foot waterfall in a rainforest on Hawaii&#39;s Hamakua Coast. The loop trail is short; the drop is not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Akaka_Falls.jpg/640px-Akaka_Falls.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Akaka Falls waterfall plunging through rainforest Big Island Hawaii&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;9. Mauna Kea, Big Island&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The highest point in Hawaii, often snow-capped in winter. Observatories sit on the summit above the clouds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Mauna_Kea.jpg/1280px-Mauna_Kea.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Snow on Mauna Kea seen from Haleakala Maui Hawaii&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;10. Molokini Crater, Maui&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A crescent-shaped islet off Maui and one of the state&#39;s best snorkel sites. The crater wall shelters calm, clear water.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Molokini.jpg/1280px-Molokini.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Crescent-shaped Molokini crater islet off Maui Hawaii&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;11. Pololū Valley, Big Island&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Black sand, steep walls, and a lookout at the end of Highway 270. Pololū feels older and quieter than the resort coast.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Pololu_Valley.jpg/1280px-Pololu_Valley.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Pololu Valley lookout north shore Big Island Hawaii&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;12. Waipiʻo Valley, Big Island&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A deep valley of taro fields and a river mouth beach, seen from the Kukuihaele lookout. Access to the valley floor is restricted for a reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/2021-10-10_15_04_10_View_northwest_across_the_northeast_end_of_Waipio_Valley_from_the_Waipi%CA%BBo_Valley_Lookout_in_Kukuihaele%2C_Hawaii_County%2C_Hawaii.jpg/1280px-2021-10-10_15_04_10_View_northwest_across_the_northeast_end_of_Waipio_Valley_from_the_Waipi%CA%BBo_Valley_Lookout_in_Kukuihaele%2C_Hawaii_County%2C_Hawaii.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Waipio Valley seen from the lookout Hawaii Island&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;13. Hanalei Bay, Kauai&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A wide crescent on Kauai&#39;s north shore, mountains behind, rain sometimes moving in over the water. Surf in winter, glass in summer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Hanalei_Bay_Kauai_%2814851281055%29.jpg/1280px-Hanalei_Bay_Kauai_%2814851281055%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Rain approaching Hanalei Bay Kauai Hawaii&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;14. Kīlauea Lava, Big Island&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pahoehoe lava from Kīlauea is why Hawaii Island is still growing. When the volcano is active, this is one of the few places on Earth you can watch land form.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/P%C4%81hoehoe_Lava_flow.JPG/1280px-P%C4%81hoehoe_Lava_flow.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Aerial pahoehoe lava flow at Kilauea Hawaii Volcanoes National Park&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;15. Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, Big Island&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Volcanic sand, coconut palms, and green sea turtles that haul out to rest. Stay back from the turtles &amp;mdash; the photo still works from the path.&lt;/p&gt;
