Eye-Popping Travel Photos from About's Travel Channel Guides

I never cease to be amazed by the group of talented travel writers that we have here at About.com. Yet, many of us are also pretty good photographers, so it's no surprise that our first travel bloggers carnival features some of the most eye-popping travel photos you have ever seen.

I included my photo of sunrise at Haleakala which was featured here earlier this week. In total 26 of our travel channel Guides participated in this effort. From Peru’s Machu Picchu and Iceland’s Blue Lagoon to right here at home with the always lovely and resilient New Orleans, I know you'll enjoy the photos and related stories in About.com's First Travel Blog Carnival - Eye-Popping Travel Photos hosted by Nancy Parode, the About.com Guide to Senior Travel.
