Every week on Twitter, people from around the world share their favorite photos by using the #FriFotos hashtag. I usually use the theme of the week as an excuse to put together a photo series, a way to contribute and to engage with more people. This week the theme is Happy Place, a perfect theme for a photo series really. Along these lines, I assembled some of my favorite happy places from my travels; places that always put a smile on my face.
Paris, France
Lake Rotorua, New Zealand
Tel Aviv Beach Sunset
Four Seasons Koele, Lanai
Wadi Rum Camels, Jordan
Santorini, Greece
Blue Footed Boobies, Galapagos
Diamond Head, Honolulu
Healesville Sanctuary, Australia
Tres Rios Resort, Mexico
Great collection! I think I might need to make a slideshow of my own photos to pull up whenever I need to find my happy place

That koala looking seriously unimpressed.

Yeah, Lanai goes through a dry and wet season. For something really cool, check out the contrasts of the same location at different times of year in this post. I was lucky to get the shots http://landlopers.com/2011/11/03/contrasts-travel-photo-series/

I love the photos. Always enjoy photos of the Eiffel Tower. And that photo of NZ reminds me a lot of Maui!

Thanks Jeremy! I love the NZ photo too, because it really shows how dynamic the country is and how you never know what you’re going to find. Just that it’ll be gorgeous
