Empire State Building, New York

This image of the Empire State Building has been selected as being ‘amazing’ as it shows the true scale of the building. Rising into the clouds, with the top nowhere in sight, this image gives the building a mysterious feel as if seen in a dream. With a moody ambience, it’s not an image often taken by tourists yet is how the building looks on a regular basis throughout the year as seen by local residents.

Hualapai Indian Reserve, Nevada

Just as the image of the cowboy is an important part of US history, so then is the influence of the American Indians. This beautiful picture captures the traditional nomad Indian way of life in the form of the wigwam. In the background are the plains of America which you can just imagine were once covered in buffalo.

The Disney Castle, Disney Land, Florida

FDNY Memorial – Ground Zero, New York

Although the US was home to one of the worst terrorist attacks ever witnessed, it was also home to amazing heroism, courage and bravery.

This photo shows a tribute to the firefighters of New York City who died trying to save those in need. Whether you see the memorial in person or in this image, it will send shivers down your spine.
