'Best of' lists — By Bob Riel on January 15, 2009 at 6:06 pm

Well, the world voted for their choices for the seven wonders of the world. The man-made ones. Now it’s time to vote for the seven natural wonders. What are your choices? The Grand Canyon? Victoria Falls? The Great Barrier Reef? There are a lot of intriguing choices among the 261 sites that now have to be whittled down for the final rounds of voting.

The Official New 7 Wonders of the World campaign was a resounding success, in which more than 100 million votes were cast and which took democracy to a new global level. Now, the second campaign organized by the non-profit New7Wonders Foundation, to choose the New7Wonders of Nature, is off to a promising start: Some 430 nominations from 224 different countries were submitted by some half a million people within the first few months of the campaign.
