Perth's Copper Hedges dressed in their autumn attire.

You do not need wall to wall blue skies for the Rocky Mountains to impress. Medicine Lake is one of those natural wonders where the lake disappears in late autumn and does not reappear until late spring. The water disappears through underground sink holes due to not being sufficiently topped up by either rain or melting snow/glacial waters. Having disappeared underground, the water reappers in rivers many miles away.

Spirit Island is located on Maligne Lake surrounded by the Canadian Rocky Mountains. It is sacred to the Stoney Nakoda First Nation People and to experience its peace and solitude, you can understand that it is a special place. When visiting Jasper National Park, time spent here is highly recommended.

Pompeii is one of those amazing locations where history comes to life. The city was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius (in the background here) in AD79. As you wander the incredibly well preserved streets and glimpse into houses and shops with carvings and coloured plaster still intact, you can easily imagine life 2000 years ago. Once the seaside retreat of wealthy Romans, but now a window into a different time.

One of the many roads in Venice that does not have any potholes, mind you it can still be quite bumpy.

The benefits of the waterways is that it forces you to slow down. It is a fantastic place to spend time.

At the time of construction (27BC), the dome of the Pantheon was the worlds largest unsupported domed roof. To add even more drama, approximately 100 years after completion, the Emperor Hadrian decided to add an 8m hole (Oculus) in the roof which allowed sunlight to stream into the building, providing its only natural source of light. As a consequence, it also allows rain in so there are almost hidden drains to remove this.

Despite being damaged twice by fire, this remains an astonishing building and one of the few complete examples of ancient roman construction to survive in tact.

THe original purpose of the building is unknown, but now is home to the remains of a pope and Raphael (the artist not the ninja turtle).

The Colosseum in Rome is one of the most remarkable examples of 2000 year old construction Despite being damaged by earthquakes over the centuries, it retains its essence. Home of various gladiatorial events back in the day, it was also flooded to host recreations of naval battles. Not sure how many buckets of water that would take but the conversion effort must have been close to that required to build it in the first place.

It capacity is estimated to be in the region of 50,000 to 80,000 people, demonstrating the size and importance to life in Rome at the time. Very impressive for a 2000 year old building.

The Trevi Fountain doubles up as a stunning fountain and a charity collection point, thanks to the tradition of throwing coins into the fountain. Legend has it that if you throw 1 coin, you will return to Rome, throw 2 coins and you will fall in love and 3 coins you will get married, so choose the number of coins wisely.

The double helix staircase at the Vatican is a remarkable example of these stairs. It is a rarely opportunity to catch the stairs so quiet.

There are so many amazing sights in both Vatican City and across Rome, that I will share a few over the next week.

To be at Jökulsárlón was an amazing experience, but to have an iceberg turnover whilst we were there, was unbelievable. The blue colour of the newly emerged surface was surreal. Erosion from the air and water creates interesting shapes from the block of ice, from this angle, the bergs appear as a fish jumping and a whale beginning a dive.

Jökulsárlón is a glacial lagoon created but the ice calving off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. Now it is the deepest lagoons in Iceland, but its main role is to be the holding zone for the bergs before they head out to the ocean.

This is one of those places that makes you pause and just take in the scene.
