Remember the blizzard? Remember how badly you wanted all that snow to just give up and melt away? We bet you imagined yourself in a place too warm for snow, like a sun-speckled beach or a chilly coastline in Europe. Fortunately for you, two of our explorers at IgoUgo lived the dream last week, and the gorgeous pictures they brought back tell the tale. Our Photos of the Week are dripping with seaside charm.

Everyone knows the famous white cliffs of Dover, but what about the rest of the English coast? Our intrepid Frangliz went hunting for competitors, and she found this rock with the alliterative name of Durdle Door. All we can say is: tally-ho.

The capital of Azerbaijan borders the Caspian Sea, which gives the Caucasian city a beautiful waterfront view. We knew the country experienced an oil boom, but thanks to aleethia, we also know those oil refineries can complement a shot of the city. Note how all the refinery equipment is thankfully free of snow.
