Tepui Mountains, Venezuela
Forbes Traveler just listed their “10 Most Unique Landscapes”. Their definition is “instantly recognizable views that are found nowhere else in the world” and created by specific and unusual geological forces.
This sounded like a useful list for any resourceful photographer (although they left out my particular favorite, Badlands National Park in South Dakota which looks completely other-wordly). Nevertheless, in no particular order here are the 10:
Inle Lake, Myanmar
Petra, Jordan
Tauo, New Zealand
Li River Valley, China
Uyuni, Bolivia
Skeleton Coast, Namibia
Western Highlands, Scotland
Cappadocia, Turkey
Redwood National Park, USA
And my personal pick:
Badlands National Park, South Dakota

Your New Zealand geothermal shot is actually in/near Rotorua not TAUPO...though theoretically it could be said to be between the two towns. :-) This, the Champagne Pool, is New Zealand's largest bubbling mud pool and is part of the very spectacular Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland www.geyserland.co.nz
For me, they skipped Uluru (Ayer's Rock) Australia, which blows away any other "red rocks" spots...
Just found your site and I'm enjoy looking back over your postings. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, those pics are a beautiful gift!
We “me and family” made a trip to Petra in Jordan in April 2007. it was a piece of art and fabulous.
We flew from Berlin to Amman- Jordan. We traveled at modern buses with a guide/driver.
Our route was Amman, Jerash, Ajloun , Petra , Dead Sea.
On the way we experienced architectural, archaeological, historical and cultural places: noble mosques, interesting museums, ancient castle, unique ruins, stone paths, the lowest point on earth with mineral salty water at Dead sea. Also we went to see how nomads live in their tents.
Before our trip we got a lot of warnings and surprising comments on Jordanians' hostility toward Westerners. Anyhow in every city, town and village we felt ourselves very welcome and every person was polite and hospitable to us.
Our guide was the best possible guide. His knowledge of Jordan, the past and the present is enormous and his driving style is convincing, A trip with him was like a trip with a friend not with a formal guide.
From my experience, http://libertytourism.com/Programs.html is one of the best tours at Jordan where all you may need and ask on one place.
