5. Baltic Sea, Finland
Standing on the deck of a large ship, this stark blonde beauty proves the attractive stereotype about Scandinavian women as spot on. Tall, blonde, and beautiful, she makes us wish we could visit the famed peninsula post-haste.
6. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Brazil is the largest and one of the most diverse countries in South America, with an ethnic mixture as varied as the United States’. From more traditionally Latin looking folks, to people who would easily be mistaken for European ethnicity, to those with African heritage, the melting pot is diverse and beautiful. This dark haired woman appears in a simple dress, sitting below her country’s flag.
7. Yangon, Myanmar
Myanmar, also known as Burma to the outside world, may be occasionally ruled by a military junta, but its people are as vibrant and full of life and beauty as anywhere else on earth. The photographer emphasized how much of a peaceful calm the people here exuded, pictured here in a Buddhist temple.
8. Colca Valley, Peru
Traditional Peruvian dress is known for its bold colors and intricate patterns, and this beautiful young woman shows them off perfectly. The country spans a vast range of culture, from indigenous peoples with little contact with the outside world, to those on the bleeding edge of current fashion.
