1,000 Places to See Before You Die

In 2003, travel writer Patricia Schultz published a guide to fabulous locales called "1,000 Places to See Before You Die." The book exhorted readers to "stop dreaming and get going."

The nearly 400 members of this Flickr pool have done just that. For some time now, these peripatetic photographers have shared pictures snapped at the color-drenched spots Schultz recommends. Amble through and encounter the gleaming white buildings of Mykonos, Greece; the colossal statues of Easter Island; a perfect bridge coiled over a Venetian canal; and a seaplane wading in the surf of Key West, Florida. We like the submissions best that make explicit their spot on Schultz's list. But all the images echo the book's gusty encouragement of globe trotting and its zest for the Earth's old and new.

If you make it to the Taj and back and still want more, jump over to the pool's sister collection: Missing From 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. Now get going!

I would like to see 1,000 places to see in the US as I really have no desire to travel outside the borders of the UNITED STATES.

the slideshow on Flickr would be more interesting if there were captions so you would know what you were looking at, etc.
