Natural wonders versus manmade sights

  1. Q1: What have you found to be more memorable - a trip to see a natural wonder or a manmade sight? #LPChat
  2. A1: Natural wonder for sure. Our trip to Mt Yasur volcano in #Vanuatu was our most memorable experience! #LPChat http://t.co/znWwXQ131I

  4. A1: Manmade sights can be mindblowing, but so often because they’re complemented by natural surroundings.  #LPChat http://t.co/Art9yBuO6K

  5. A1: No contest- a natural wonder. Perfect example is the entire country of #Iceland. #LPChat
  6. A1 For me so far it's man-made sights. I've been lucky enough to have visited all the #new7wonders #LPChat http://t.co/OpWEK6u4Mo

  7. A1) Without a doubt, natural. I just can't see how you can compete with views like this in New Zealand! #LPChat http://t.co/9Z8m9uV8Hl

  8. A1 Natural! Last week at Erta Ale in #Ethiopia. Teary eyes, incredible meeting with our planet! #LPChat LPChat http://t.co/0cMay3aA98

  9. A1) My instinct would be to say natural but nothing has quite compared to my first sighting of the Colosseum in Rome! #LPChat
  10. Q2: Natural wonders are often notable for their sheer size and scale. What else do think gives them the wow factor? #LPChat
  11. A2: Natural wonders have a unique ability to humble us and remind us that nature above all is the most dominant force on our planet. #LPChat
  12. A2: At Iguazu or Gullfoss Falls we’ve seen just how powerful nature can be. It can destroy man’s most hallowed creations in seconds. #LPChat
  13. A2: Most importantly, natural wonders remind us to take care of our planet. Its resilience doesn’t excuse our complacency. #LPChat
  14. A2: Sometimes the fact they've managed to survive for so long (or at all) - like Fraser Island's rainforest #lpchat
  15. A2: Natural wonders give a sense of peace and quiet unlike anything else, like at Kamikochi in Japan #LPChat http://t.co/0KpQxzKTgP

  16. A2 #LPChat I'm always amazed by nature's capability to overcome man made interferences, like when forests reclaim ruins.
  17. Q3: Do you prefer to visit ancient or modern manmade sights + why? #LPChat
  18. A3: Ancient! Petra, the Pyramids, Angkor were more impressive than Christ the Redeemer, Eiffel Tower or Burj. #LPChat http://t.co/3yP2OHzi9B

  19. A3: The mystery surrounding ancient sights adds to their allure. How were they built without modern tools!? #LPChat http://t.co/xwfy1OGoih

  20. A3: Where do Easter Island’s moai statues fit in? Ancient or modern? Either way their mystery is captivating. #LPChat http://t.co/5eL7WQmG7z

  21. A3 Gotta admit we have a preference for the grand ancient sights. They don't make them like this anymore! #LPChat http://t.co/Nvhsznn3q0

  22. A3 ancient. You never know how much longer ancient sites will be around. Just look at all that has been lost in Syria #lpchat
  23. A3: Ancient - while I love marveling humans' modern creations, they don't have the allure and mystery of historic sites. #LPChat #history
  24. Q4: In your opinion what is more photogenic - a natural wonder or a manmade sight? Share your best travel shots! #LPChat
  25. A4: If you get the shot right, natural wonders such as waterfalls, deserts and volcanoes are unparalleled. #LPChat http://t.co/CG47T1dlyg

  26. A4: Uyuni in #Bolivia is a photographer’s dream! An incredible natural wonder. #LPChat pic.twitter.com/9KMlonOcS6
  27. A4: We think Zion National Park in Utah is seriously under appreciated. #LPChat pic.twitter.com/oIfyBY0arD
  28. A4: The Colorado River and Grand Canyon area is also pretty impressive. #LPChat pic.twitter.com/hLrvBcBHbA
  29. A4: That said, most manmade sights are static which immediately makes them easier to shoot! #LPChat http://t.co/xjtnNp7jmM

  41. @lonelyplanet A5: Antarctica because it's the only continent I haven't been to! But I know it's not great for the environment... #LPChat
  42. A5: So unfair (so many). But #BlueHole, #Belize from above followed by a scuba beneath the veneer. #LPChat #lptop500 http://t.co/eRL2ix0DEg
