Kannap

Mitchell

One of many views from the peak of Mt. Mitchell, tallest mountain in North America east of the Mississippi.

Mount Seymour

Kannap Absolutely beautiful! Are the other photos from the same location?

Kannap

No, the first two photos are from random overlooks on the Blue Ridge Parkway, I can't recall which overlooks since anytime I go anywhere along the Parkway, I end up stopping at many overlooks.

The one with the flowers with the single mountain in the distance was taken on the peak of Fryingpan Mountain, which I happened to have hiked to reach a Fryingpan Lookout Tower. I've added location guesses for the first two pictures, based on where they were saved in the folder compared to other pictures. Luckily, every time I go hiking I make a new folder to save the images in, so the first three pictures were all taken in the same day.

Mount Seymour

Just a gentle reminder that the topic of this category is earth— in the “dirt, stone, ground, geology” sense rather than the “this planet” sense (in other words, the geosphere, not the biosphere or others). I’m happy to be very broad and leave a lot open to interpretation, but please do try to maintain some connection! (This is not pointed at anyone specific, but rather a general reminder.)

Mount Seymour Yep, I taught English to get visas and travel around for a few years. I feel boring now by comparison, but I have lots of pics from that time!

7 / 11 - SUNSET AT BAGAN, MYANMAR.

Perhaps this would fit the best in this category. The beautiful and warm nature of the sunset, coupled with the hilly/mountain ranges and the silhouette of the tree in front encapsulates everything that is beautiful about Mother Nature.

This one was taken on December 3rd of this year! All were taken on the Tamil Coast!

Another!

Well, I had fun taking these!

Mount Seymour

Nagatar_Karumuttu_Chettiar Beautiful! Which coast did you say this was again? ?

Nagatar_Karumuttu_Chettiar

Mount Seymour Tamil Nadu, South India! Coast right next to a village called Mugaiyur! It is an ancestral village of sorts, Kadiyapatti would be my other ancestral village.

I had a long three paragraph answer written, but discarded it, as it was the long answer you didn't ask for ?
