Death Valley National Park is beautiful. I didn't realize just how beautiful it was until I reached Zabriskie Point.

Giant Swing at Oktoberfest in Munich
There is no better layover opportunity than Munich during the months of Oktoberfest. You can make it from the airport to the fairgrounds in about 30 minutes and have a beer in your hand within an hour. It's a fun visit for a solo traveler, but I highly recommend bringing a companion to get the most out of the experience. As I was waiting a socially acceptable amount of time … [Read more...] about Giant Swing at Oktoberfest in Munich

I once considered getting married at Auberge Du Soleil in Rutherford, CA. But alas, I had to settle for appetizers on their observation deck years later. Maybe not the same as a full-fledged wedding, but the views still beautiful. This is an HDR photo right as the sun started to set on Napa Valley.
