I have two favourite places on earth:

(1) The Burren, Co. Clare
I visited the Burren in Co. Clare as a child and always return there when I'm at home in Ireland. The famous Cliffs of Moher are near this spot, but it's the Poulnabrone Dolmen that I love to visit the most. It's an ancient portal tomb, dating back to the Neolithic period, probably between 4200 BC to 2900 BC. At either sunrise or sunset it's a magical place, especially when shrouded in mist.

(2) Castle Mountain, Banff National Park, Alberta
I studied in Alberta for 2 years and fell madly in love with this mountain. As its name suggests it is very "castle-like" but it's also a very atmospheric place. I had never lived close to a mountain range as epic as the Rockies and was overwhelmed by their vast grandeur.

Gracianne > Hoquy & plage du Dotchot




A la question posée, je ferme les yeux, et je réponds sans hésitation;

La colline en face de la maison familiale a Hoquy, Soule, Pays Basque.

La plage du Dotchot a Belle-Ile, Morbihan, par un beau jour d'ete.

Paola > Firenze


Bonjour! I have just discovered LovelyPlaces and I have decided to send you an image of one of my favourite places on earth: I took this photograph in gorgeous Florence, where I lived and studied for a year.
I would like to send more images, would this be ok with you?
Merci et au revoir!

Jo > Kakadu National Park, Australia




My favourite spot would have to be kakadu National Park in Northern Australia.
The place is a dream, awash with golden light and spirit.
