I think by now everyone here knows my absolute favorite destination is Scotland but we do visit other places, the most recent being NYC. Here are some shots from our visit to Lady Liberty.

I like the Lady Liberty images, saw her from Battery Park once.

Though have visited many states and Canada in the past we generally do day trips to our favorite spots:

We spent our 50TH at our favorite spot. Martha's Vineyard. (had to catch the light as it swept around- hence the camera shake- But it's still a good memory)

I live in a beautiful area that people come to for vacations, but I also love going out west for vacations. I hope to get to New York City one day, love the shots of Lady Liberty. Good topic for a challenge, Rolk! I can vacation through everyone else's photos. Here are a few of mine from out West..........more to come later.

Gorgeous captures of Carlisbad caverns ! Love to get there one day!

wonderful country and Europe , as well as several islands in the caribbean..Here are a few I worked

A couple of shots from an Old Route 66 drive we did a couple of years ago. My wife was reluctant to climb up into the chair so I used her to show scale. The second pix is with her in action for a close-up with her trusty D5200.

Ahh Tim - Vacation what is that. Other than the time spent in service and helping move my daughter and son in law to Topeka, Kansas in 2005 been in Iowa all my life. Have one place use to go a lot but all photos done in B/W. Just ran across some of them Friday. Wouldn't be good enough to post here. Well see, other than that sorry guy. Have to observe this one.

I "feel" you, Bob. I know I struggle with a lot of the challenges, but in
this case, you may want to consider showing us some of your favorite
"local" places you head to for a quick get-a-way...

I use to drive to O.C., Md just for a quick day trip...

We spent a lot of weekends at a local campground where we made lots of new friends

A nice day trip was only 45 minutes away for the "grands"...and then out to dinner...

Sometimes staying home and having everyone over can be like a mini-vaca....

About an hour west is Catoctin Wildlife Refuge...and great "day" trip

(Download)

Codorus State Park, less than 30 minutes from our front door, offers a great place to picnic, rent some boats, several hiking trails, or numerous places to just "chill."

(Download)

Gettysburg College has a climbing wall for the grands, and then we can head to the battlefield...another great mini-vacation with numerous places to explore

(Download)

"Devil's Den" is a must-see place to explore on the Gettysburg Battlefield

Sue, these images are fantastic. We were just there as well, but couldn't convince the
family to go to that island. Our trip to State Island came close to Lady Liberty, but your
pictures are so much better than mine...thanks so much for sharing!

I LOVE NYC!!! (...to visit...lol)

Nice set - you have a knack for getting vacation pictures that are not the general run of the mill tourist shots - I really, really like the pier at sunset and the feral horses.

Thank you so much, Sue. That is one of the nicest things I've ever
been told, and truly appreciate that you took the time to do so.

Pg 1 - That first image is absolutely stunning, Roxie.
What a gorgeous area to visit, and I love the images
of the cavern!

Thanks so much for sharing, and I can't wait to see more!

Thanks for checking in, Pat. I can't wait to see some of
your favorite places, and you're right, vacation does
sound good...

In fact, it sounds so good, we're heading out in a couple of
weeks; several days in Colonial Williamsburg, VA, and then
a full week in Duck, NC (the Outer Banks.)
