Friday open thread: beautiful places

This week's Friday open thread has a simple prompt: tell us about a place (or places) which you think is staggeringly beautiful.

This can be somewhere you've only visited once on holiday, or it could be something you see every day in your ordinary life. Either way, this should hopefully be a chance to look at photos of lots of beautiful places from around the world!
