What view do you want to see again. I once had dinner with my family |
|
on a ranch just outside of Calgary. When we stood on the lawn of this ranch house you'd look one way and see the Bo River wind through foothills all the way to Downtown Calgary. When you looked the other way there was a WALL of mountains, the Rockies. That was the first time I ever saw the them. It was two fantastic views in one... what a juxtaposition.

1. I was always fond of the Sierras seen from across the Central Valley after a snowfall. |
|
Back in the sixties, growing up in the farmlands near the Bay Area but still technically in the Delta, on a house on a river where the land was below sea level.
To the East lay the Sierra Nevada range and, on most days, you could see these pretty clearly.
After a storm you could see them covered in white.
It would be years before I'd see actual snow, so it was always a wonderment for me.
That, and the dark dark skies of an incoming or outgoing storm across the same flat valley!
sigh...
:P

2. The Tetons, late afternoon, after a rain while driving in Jackson Valley. |

I think it may be heaven, western division.

3. Newfound Gap, in the Smoky Mountains, under a full moon on a clear night |

Words cannot describe the beauty...

4. The Northern Lights, as I saw them from Fort Wainwright north of Edmonton. |
|
Either that, or lightening storms on the Caribbean west of Jamaica.
