- Extraordinary array of photos. Just extraordinary. Tony (talk) 07:01, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
- Those are some fantastic photos. Thank you all. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 02:11, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- "A peak in the Nilgiri mountains backdrops this shot of a simple suspension bridge over the Gandaki River in Nepal." It's over 1,000 miles from the Nilgiri mountains to Nepal. I know these pictures are photoshopped, but that's going too far.

- @
Maproom: At the picture's page on Commons it says "Nilgiri South (6,839m) forms an impressive backdrop to a large suspension bridge over the Kali Gandaki river near Tatopani", but to my limited understanding of geography, that doesn't make sense either. A good picture, but a mystery. Maybe "Nilgiri South" is not in the Nilgiris.

- There's an error below Dzharylhach National Nature Park photo - it should link to Commons:User:Yunyk rather than Commond:User:Vadym Yuny (sic). No such user ( talk) 12:11, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
