Argophilia, as anyone can readily see, is largely about video and images from the world of travel. We thought it might be a good idea to not only reveal the best images of places within a news context, but also purely for their beauty and interesting qualities. So, in keeping with this, the images below we have run across are here for you to enjoy too. We invite you all to submit your own images for the readership as well.

Meanwhile travelers just want some price break justice.
