Re: What new have you seen this year?

I Was wondering if you may have seen an Orca @Victoria_v!

 

This is one of those animals I really wish to see in the wild. They're amazing but scary at the same time.

 

Great picture of the Colosseum by the way. It can be very hard to snap a photo without tourists in it.

Re: What new have you seen this year?

Hello @Victoria_v Nice idea to discuss in Connect.

Unfortunately this year I had not this opportunity to go to a new natural landmark but on the other hand I've discovered many urban places.

For example in Tehran I visited Arasbaran Cultural Center for first time and it was very beautiful. Most amazing thing was that the colorful birds was totally free there and this created an amazing atmosphere.

 Art Garden was also a beautiful place that I saw this year. Although only first phase of it opened but this was really great to be.

And in Mashhad I visited "Darougheh Historical House" which is very unique place in this city with historical atmosphere.

I'll make sure to ask you for advice on all the hidden gems in Rome next time @LucioV

 

This year I visited all the touristic places, but next time I want to get the local experience.

@MortenSI Orca really gorgeous. Few where you can see them in their natural environment. This is an unforgettable sight!

@Amiran, very beautiful photos. It's great that you found new places in the city and shared them. I really like places where birds walk freely. In the bird park in Kuala Lumpur, you can also see many birds without cages. It is very interesting.

Re: What new have you seen this year?

I hear they are not hostile towards humans @Victoria_v, but i guess it's best to stay out of the water just in case. 

 

The polar bear is another one of my favorites, and I have seen them at the zoo several times. I can spend hours there just watching them. 

 

You didn't happen to see any of those did you? I have a feeling they're very rare to spot in the wild.

Re: What new have you seen this year?

Hi @Victoria_v,

 

This post is so much interesting! Your visit to Alaska must have been so much interesting.

 

If you ask me, during 2018 I had the chance to visit quite a few new places. One of the was a trip that I did to Tibetan Autonomous Region and I had the chance to visit Lhasa and its world famous Potala Palace - the winter palace of Dalai Lama.

 

Here are two shots that I want to share with you of this magnificent palace:
