Writer's Block: Beautiful Vistas

Tie between these two:
Ftan, Switzerland


Miyajima, Japan

Not a great picture; I've got better ones but they're not in digital format. Most people think of the gate when they think of Miyajima, and, sure, that's pretty, but actually I really like the back of the island, which you can see if you go up in the gondolas: all these lush, forested islands just poking up out of the sea.

All of these are my pictures-- so, yes, I've been there. Maybe it's because I was raised in Indiana and never saw them growing up, but I think mountains are exceptionally beautiful.

Wow... I love that picture of Switzerland! Such a beautiful country.

Two of my favorite places!

I want to go to Japan for sure. What a great photo you have there!

Japan is such a wonderous place. My father was there for a month and still remembers how great it was.

Switzerland looks magical as well.

WHERE IS THE PICTURE OF ME.

Switzerland is certainly awe-inspiring, but for pure beauty, it's hard to argue with Miyajima. That was a beautiful time and place.

As a fellow Midwesterner, I'll second you on the appreciation of mountains. At the same time, it wasn't until I got back from Japan that I realized how much I missed occasionally driving through open fields with a huge sky overhead; all those mountains and buildings meant a much smaller sky, and I found I missed the plains from time to time.

Go to the Grand Canyon. Or have me show you my pictures from there.
