My desktop vacation II

Dorf, 2007, Georg Parthen

Plateau, 2007, Georg Parthen

Enklave, 2007, Georg Parthen

Georg Parthen must be reading my mind. He's one step ahead of me, photographing all these amazing exotic places that I've always wanted to visit. It's a shame they don't exist.

    Not sure what you mean with "It's a shame they don't exist", but at least the last one does:

    Wow, thanks for the link.

    I was mostly basing my statement on Parthen's description: "I take photos and detailed photographic studies from which I later create images that range from slightly altered to complete digitally composed photographic images." The alteration in the dam shot (besides horizontal flipping) is quite subtle, and the place definitely looks worth visiting.

    It makes me wonder about the other sites, and what they might look like unaltered.
