This topic was inspired by the topic @nikkers posted (hope you don't mind nikkers). I thought it would be interesting to see what each individual members' photography bucket list (things to photograph before you die) consists of, I'd love to see at least 10 from everyone; they can be as broad or as specific as you'd like.
Here are mine:
The Scottish Highlands
Iceland
New Zealand
The Grand Canyon/Western U.S.
Poland
New Orleans, especially the French Quarter (I've been once, but I want to go back)
Alaska
The perfect equine shot (wild Mustangs would be amazing)
Safari/African animals
A good portrait
Safari in South Africa/Kenya
Canadian Rockies
A grizzly bear
The blue seas of Tahiti
The perfect shot of an aircraft taking off
Rocket taking off at Cape Canaveral
Paris
Tulip fields of Holland in spring
A macro water drop
A good self portrait
A Geisha.. (in japan obviously!)
NY Time Square at night (perhaps even on NYE)
Niagra Falls
Great Wall of China
Auschwitz in winter
Hot air balloons taking off
a photo of my 2 boys, both happy laughing or smiling TOGETHER!
Playful photos in my own backyard (own a unit so no yard...)
a white xmas
Architecture in Dubai
a family portrait with all the family
USA
UK
Australia
Wedding by myself! :-)
Paris - Eiffel tower
Food for a magazine
Las Vegas at night
Portrait of my online internet friends
and did I say.......

3 markets, especially in the Middle East but also Asia
4 Wedding shots, really natural, of people connecting
5 ancient sites of the world, especially Baalbek in Lebanon and Machu Picchu

7 Portraits of old and young in traditional societies
8 Istanbul
9 Bali Temples
10 Traditional dancing, such as Spanish and whirling Dirvishes.
These are the things that came quickly to my mind:

5. A good self portrait (haven't even attempted any self portrait)

8. A day in my dog's life-perhaps from "his point of view"
9. Smoky Mountains
10. every type of bird that visits my yard (some are too quick for me to catch as they fly in and then right back out)
In no particular order ....
polar bears
whales
Northern Lights
European architecture
Great Wall of China
fields of flowers
Greek, Turkish, Italian ruins
rainforest - Brazil or Costa Rica

@la_photographic What's so appealing about the Jungfrau? It's probably not even the most famous of the Swiss mountains, so I'm curious why you particularly want to photograph that one.
I know someone who took the train up it with his wife and he said the views were stunning. I also like the name as Jungfrau is the German variation of my star sign Virgo.
1. Sydney Harbour
2. The Maldives
3. Niagara Falls
4. Egypt
5. The sunsets in Ibiza
6. Scotland
7. Bond Island, Thailand
8. Bay of Fires, Tasmania, Aus (about a 4 hour drive from me)

I've already crossed Ireland, London & Stonehenge off my to-see & do bucket list :)

@sam_cr - Auschwitz is one of mine too
@musicguy1982 - keep in mind many Amish don't like to be photographed, at least portrait wise. It has something to do with their beliefs. I can't explain exactly why without messing it up, just something I know having grown up next to Lancaster County, PA.
