Hi Danny,
I will surely need to travel to USA in the future. I wouldn't know which place to start from since I've learned of amazing spots. Google Earth helps..eh eh
I am not use to retouch photos but since the latest development in software tools it became so fast and easy to improve photographs that I can't live without it.
Usually I don't share photos in public: I have a very small collection on Flickr but I don't deem it to be representative.
Anyway, you can find a really small collection at:

Ciao Danny.
