Wish and dreams..where I want to be at least once in a life time...


The most dazzling light display on Earth.
This astronomical phenomenon is best seen in winter from northern Scandinavia -- but there are never any guarantees, which makes the magic moments when they do appear all the more special.

A great place to keep watch is from the sheltered coastal waters of western Norway, whose coves are free of artificial light.

Travel there on Hurtigruten, the country’s national coastal steamer, and enjoy inspirational fjord views by daylight.


 
We love it, and so do the lions
 No sight in the world replicates the timeless drama of tens of thousands of wild beasts charging across the African plains in search of food and water while pursued by their predators.


The best way to experience the migration is via a mobile camp which ups sticks and follows the animals every day


Orion, Pegasus, and about a million of their friends

Picking out Orion’s Belt and The Big Dipper is even more impressive if there are a million other stars distracting you from the task.


A 1,600-square-mile area in New Zealand’s South Island comprising Aoraki/Mt. Cook National Park and the Mackenzie Basin has just been designated the world’s fourth International Dark Sky Reserve, making it “one of the best stargazing sites on Earth” according to IDSA’s executive director Bob Parks.






This year marks the 200th anniversary of the rediscovery of this former lost city, considered one of the greatest jewels of the Middle East.


Carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, people who settled here more than 2,000 years ago, this magical rose-red metropolis was a hub for the silk and spice routes in ancient times.

Entrance to the city is through the Siq, a narrow gorge flanked on either side by soaring, 80-meter high cliffs. The colors and rock formations are dazzling, and at the end of the gorge stands the lst-century Treasury, with its fabulous carvings.




Sardine run
The greatest shoal on earth.
Dubbed “the greatest shoal on earth,” the sardine run on South Africa's Wild Coast holds two titles -- the world's largest animal migration also featuring the greatest gathering of predators on the planet.


Sharks, dolphins, Cape Gannets, cormorants, seals and sometimes Orcas, follow the sardines as they head to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

The spectacle is best viewed on a scuba dive in late June and throughout July; however, if you have a snorkel, you can still get in on the underwater action.
