I find those (well-known) photos iconic because they somewhat represent my european view of north-america, which I admit may be a bit antiquated: big expanses of nature and a pioneering spirit (with all its contradictions). That Adams pic, is even more relevant because the Yosemite pictures of Ansel Adams were behind the creation of the first natural park in history - when some senator in Washington marvelled with what comes through in those photographs.

Thanks. Some really good ones so far.
I would like to add:
http://www.cbc.ca/passionateeyem…The Falling Man: one of the most unforgettable images from 9/11 - a photograph of a falling man, frozen in mid air, his body perfectly parallel with the twin towers of the World Trade Centre.
