Mar 31 12 03:45 pm Link GK photo wrote: Actually, the most recognisable parts of MV are within Utah, and both of those pics are from that very state. The road pic is on US 163 looking south towards AZ just about on the border, and the grand sunset vista is from within the AZ side of the park but looking north into Utah.

I love the language, how it sounds. There is something that's been fascinating me for the longest time ever. If I could, I'd hit up Siberia, around Lake Baikal.

If the country they're born in is better, they should be living there. Everyone says their country is the best! Therefore, Canada is the best!

All kinds of places around the planet have their own special beauty. All kinds of people around the world have their own special charm. Thank you for highlighting ours in this thread.

Jul 08 12 11:10 am Link The main reason I have never left California is because within it's borders there are every kind of terrain, climate and scenery. Very divers piece of land. Never ending ops if you're outdoorsy and/or a photographer and artist. Like the commercial says, where else can you ski the alpines, play in the desert and surf pristine warm beaches all in one day. Great photos in the OP. Jul 08 12 12:07 pm Link America is beautiful, no doubt. South Africa is also so so gorgeous as well! www.sa-venues.com/attractionsmpl/gods-window.htm www.sabie.co.za/gallery/index.html goafrica.about.com/od/southafrica/ss/bestsa.htm www.otal.com/africa-travel-and-leisure/ … uth-africa Come visit. :-) Jul 08 12 12:37 pm Link Good thing the OP did not start in NJ or he may not have gotten as far west at PA! With an elevation change of less than 100 feet once you leave the beach the you have left the natural beauty of the state. Jul 08 12 01:04 pm Link Well ,all i can say,is that we have lots of animals,some of the highest dunes in the world,one of the oldest deserts,stunning beaches(that is,if you know where to look for them,and no,not up NORTH).Waterfalls,some of the deepest and largest underground lakes.Very good and pure beer,and farm animals gaze on natural grazing,thus the meat is absolutely tops.Definetly,not vegetarian heaven.:-)) Jul 08 12 01:36 pm Link P I X I E wrote: flat and boring?!

ok, maybe you have a point, but that just gives us an excuse to spend all our time indoors having kinky sex.
