I’m at the stage in my life that I am interested in places and experiences, not things or achievements. So when I meet people I often ask what place they have traveled to that has been most rewarding and memorable. High on the list: New Zealand, Botswana and Tanzania, and Angkor Wat, all of which I wonder if I ever will get to.
One spot that I definitely hope to see within a year or two is Crater Lake. People who have visited it don’t forget it and this image from this year’s Nat Geo photo contest reveals why.
The photo, found via The Boston Globe’s Big Picture, is a little unbelievable, but then, by all accounts, so is the place.
A Few Reasonable Words 
Beautiful, but don’t give up on going to Angkor! Cambodia is amazing – the people are so lovely, but history hangs heavy. You won’t regret it!
