Okay, to give this group a bit more body, to encourage more people to join and to give it a meaning anyway, I think it would be nice to post here your best locations for photography in Europe. If I am planning my holidays, what shouldn't be missed, photography wise? Where do I have to go before I can say I have visited a country or a region?

I think we should post some pictures with our posts. Make it a travel guide for those who want to visit our beautiful continent. Or for those who want to visit your great country.

I will post some pics and locations later on. Hope you'll think this is a good idea !

I'd like to support the effort.

So, here is the one place every Non-European tourist must go to:
Schloß Neuschwanstein

A truely magical place and there are days where you almost don''t see tourists, like the day this phto was taken at

I think a place that you must visit if you ever come to the Netherlands are the Wadden Isles, in the Northern part of the country.

#1: Texel



#2: Vlieland

Er, wow, there are so many. Because I spend a lot of time just taking pictures of little things or hidden corners, abandoned buildings, walls, fields with nothing much in them, cool-looking trees, flowers... and these things can be found in abundance everywhere.

Which is not to say everywhere is the same, but rather different in the quality of these details.

At the opposite extreme there are the travel sites everyone knows about. But those are generally really boring to shoot.

I was in England this summer and in the bus between Manchester and Liverpool I looked outside and thought: I wish I was there with my camera... Abandoned building next to a canal at the edge of a nature reserve. It's near Warrington, I saved the gps location on my iphone: Google Maps, hope to return there some day.
Also this summer, I had a short stop in Dresden, nice historical centre.

Great Location for Photographs in the Netherlands: Reeuwijkse Plassen

looks like a good place for birds
could you please recommend any good location for shooting tulips fields mate?
