The New seven wonders:

  • Ancient City of Petra
  • Machu Picchu
  • The Great Wall of China
  • Taj Mahal
  • Christ Redeemer, Rio
  • The Roman Colloseum
  • Chichén Itzá

I have seen one wonder so far and that's Taj Mahal (India)

Symbol of Love: Taj Mahal, The story of Taj Mahal is unique in itself. It is an evidence that how the emotions and feelings are important to human life. The story of Taj Mahal is an example of devotion and faith. The story of Taj Mahal is a love story not found in papers but stands in the structural form. The story of Taj Mahal is rare. The story of Taj Mahal begins Shah Jahan was obsessed to fulfill his wife's last wish. He invited the architects and artisans all over the world and planned for the building with absolute perfection. Taj Mahal was structured in Persian style combined with carvings of artisans called from Afghanistan and the garden designers from Kashmir. It took 22years to complete the Taj Mahal, a memento of love with the perfection of art. The carvings of Taj Mahal were decorated with very precious gemstones.

Christ the Redeemer is mine. I would love to see it in person.

Bravo! Thank you for posting your article in Theme Parks and Attractions
Payam Sudhakaran Jun 24, 2008, 4:00am EDT
Great to see you! Good work as always.. Hey that dreamy collage is wonderful.. You did it all by yourself??
Svetlana Goryacheva Jun 24, 2008, 4:10am EDT
Great job, dear Bhawana! ;-) I would like to add to this list the wooden ensemble in Kizhi, Karelia - the very epitome of Nothern Russia's austere beauty. Can you believe that this wonder was built without a single nail?

I like what you did with the artwork.

To answer your question:

Me, and likely you.

I'm getting existential in my old age.

Those are awesome photos.
I have never been there but have seen the Panama Canal & the Grand Canyon.
I will have to dig out my Panama photos now ; )
Thanks for sharing. Great job.
Kerrell g. Jun 24, 2008, 4:54pm EDT
Great Wall of China would be number one, then the Vatican.
Donald M. Jun 24, 2008, 5:13pm EDT
I guess to just go to a nice clean beach with a motel near by, Not hotel either. Definately motel. My own entrance from outside, I do not like lobbies. I want to step outside my door or look out at my auto from window. Not be inside where I cannot keep an eye on things.
elizabeth e. Jun 24, 2008, 6:16pm EDT
Oh Bhawana...these two images are just absolutely beautiful.
Sassy ... the calm and cool Cat Jun 24, 2008, 6:55pm EDT
Great photos! I haven't seen any. Some I haven't even heard of
Alison H. Jun 24, 2008, 8:03pm EDT
Spectacular, Bhawana!
Beryl Singleton Bissell Jun 24, 2008, 9:58pm EDT
You are such a whiz with the computer Bhawana! I love the photo of you with your handsome hubby in front of the Taj Mahal. To date I've seen Chichén Itzá and the Roman Colosseum, and dreaming of Petra.
Connie C. Jun 24, 2008, 11:35pm EDT
Bhawana,
That was beautiful. I have never seen it before. I am very interested in the beliefs and customs in India
April H. Jun 25, 2008, 11:08am EDT
I would love to see Chichén Itzá
Mary Ann S. Jun 25, 2008, 11:10am EDT
Mackinac Bridge, that separates Upper and Lower Michigan.
Debra C. Jun 25, 2008, 11:19am EDT
Very nice Photoshop job, both thematically and artistically!
Bhawana 'Gather Proud Mom' Jun 25, 2008, 1:40pm EDT
Thanks everyone, Thanks Cassandra.
Marge H. Jun 25, 2008, 4:20pm EDT
I haven't seen any of these yet. Amazing job of editing!
Elsie Duggan Jun 26, 2008, 1:25am EDT
This is beautiful Bhawana, I love the Taj Mahal , never been there but still my favorite, and hate that they changed the 7 wonders of the world.
Elsie Duggan Jun 26, 2008, 1:27am EDT
Oh, and congratulations on the front page feature.
Denise E. Jun 26, 2008, 4:53am EDT
These are edited so creatively. 10
Duckie 1 Jun 26, 2008, 9:14am EDT
Without the intention of doing it, I think, and hope, that our travel plans in the future will allow us to witness the 7 NATURAL wonders of the world first, before we manage to reach destinations that will include the NEW 7 wonders of the world.

Those sites include:

The Grand Canyon in Arizona
The Northern Lights in Alaska
The Victoria Falls in Africa
The Paricutin in Mexico
The Harbour of Rio de Janeiro
The Great Barrier Reef in Australia
and Mt. Everest of the Himalayas.

I haven't seen any of them and I would love to see them all! Great job on the photos!
Tiffany G. Jun 26, 2008, 4:47pm EDT
Very nice!!
Jennifer aka Jenn B. Jun 26, 2008, 5:43pm EDT
You put some work into this...very nicely done.....I have the Great Wall as my next Must See...
John F Walter Jun 26, 2008, 7:13pm EDT
Great use of photoshopping techniques to get across the magnificence of these monuments, Bhawana. I´m still disappointed that not enough Spanish people voted (and also tourists worldwide) to get Europe´s number one most visited palaces, forts, towers,gardens and medina-- and clearly a wonder-- the Alhambra citadel here in Granada on the hill right behind me, onto the list of the seven. I´d love to see the fabulous couple that is Bhawana and Alok with the Alhambra behind you, my dear.
Ellie !. Jun 26, 2008, 8:41pm EDT
Wonderful transformation of the photo. You are having fun. I've always been fascinated with the Taj Mahal.
Bhawana 'Gather Proud Mom' Jun 27, 2008, 2:58am EDT
Thanks everyone.
samantha b. Jun 27, 2008, 3:28pm EDT
I think that The Great Wall of China would have to be mine! this is wonderful article and have a beautiful day!
Lilith Dorsey Jun 28, 2008, 4:11pm EDT
Beautiful job, Bhawana, I would love to see them all.
Thank you for posting to Picture Picture Paradise We point it forward, we point it around, we point it about gather-town.
necee t. Jun 28, 2008, 5:14pm EDT
ooh Bhawana... this is beautiful... what a wonderful photo of one of your fav wonders... it is truly gorgeous... you two look sooo sweet... Blessings...
lynn a. Jun 30, 2008, 1:49am EDT
Buzzy, I have a friend who goes to India every so many years, and the one place she seems to love the most is the Taj Mahol. I would love to see it in person myself, but probably never will.

What you have done with the photography is amazing. I love it.
t b. Jun 30, 2008, 9:25pm EDT
And speaking of love.....
The looks are your faces in the top pictures.
Now THAT is love.
Heidianna "Coriander" T. Jul 2, 2008, 3:15am EDT
I would really love to visit every single one of them someday! Taj Mahal would be my first choice!
Larry H. Jul 4, 2008, 12:47am EDT
great shots thanks for sharing
Vinay Benjamin Jul 6, 2008, 7:44am EDT
I've seen the Taj Mahal by moonlight and never forgot my gut feel. Thanks for the reminder. The ONE wonder I'd like to see in person is YOU . . . . . someday!!
Boris G. Jul 7, 2008, 3:23pm EDT
beautiful article Bhawana, I've only seen one of these wonders - the Colosseum.

I especially like the very last image and how it combines several of the wonders into one.

I wonder if it'd be possible to fit all of the seven of the wonders into one image?
Sheila Deeth Jul 11, 2008, 3:55pm EDT
Cool pictures. Neat article Bhawana!
William Dotani Jul 14, 2008, 12:33am EDT
Nice article. I imagine the photo of you and hubby are on all of the souvenir post cards at these sites.
Risa G. Nov 29, 2008, 9:22pm EST
I've never been to India. I have Indian friends though. I love Indian food. I would probably enjoy it if I did go. I love to travel but my husband doesn't. Maybe one day...

Great shots and article.
