Ever photograph a place so magnificent you never wanted to leave? You know, the spot that lives not only in your photography but also in your mind forever. I have been fortunate enough to photograph so many wonderful landscapes that I wanted to share my top 5 spots and the photos.
5. New York City : I love NYC! Growing up right outside of the city in NJ – I took NY for granted. I developed a true understanding and appreciation for New York after I moved to Arizona.
4. Magdalena Rd. / Flagstaff, AZ : If you head northwest on route 180 in Flagstaff towards Snowbowl you will come across a meadow. That is Magdalena Rd. (I am also partial to this spot because Kristina painted a picture of this photo for my studio.)
3. Sedona, AZ : There is something about Sedona. The majestic Red Rock in the high desert setting and the blue skies that are a photographer’s dream.
2. Yellowstone National Park, MT and WY : Doesn’t everyone have Yellowstone on their list? After our trip there this summer – I know that this is one of the greatest places in the world. We drove through the park and went from seeing geysers to wildlife to cowboys riding their horses on the plains. If you’ve never been – do yourself a favor and put it on your list to visit.
1. Mormon Row / Grand Teton National Park, WY : This is one of those famous spots that everyone has to take a picture of when in the Tetons. I was no different – only mine has Buffalo.
Do you have any favorite spots you’ve photographed over the years. Take a moment to tell us about them in the comment section and post links to the images. If you would like directions or exact locations of my top 5 spots – drop me a line and I’ll do my best to get you there. Contact GRT2 via Email

Just followed a link from Canon Blogger to your site. Great Top 5. I live in AZ, so I’m with you on both your picks here. Good shots too.
I’ve also spent time in the Tetons and Yellowstone. Also wonderful picks for a Top 5.
Just added you to my RSS, so looking forward to seeing what great places you include down the road.
Thanks for checking out the blog. Since this is a relatively new site – if you like what you see or read, please spread the word.

Great post Greg,
I’d have to say my top 5 in no particular order:
1. Grand Prismatic Springs…by air!
2. New York City
3. Thanet, England
4. Brugge, Belgium
5. Gulf of Mexico…in a plane as well
Amazing pictures. My favorite opps:
1) Suburbs of Geneva, Switzerland
2) My “backyard” in the Rocky Mts., Colorado
3) Aix-en-Provence, France
4) Buena Vista, Colorado
5) Rolling coffee fields of Costa Rica
Emily Colorado has so many amazing photo locations. Maybe I’ll trade you my Sonoran Desert for your Rocky Mountains! Thx – GRT2
