What’s the most amazing place in nature you’ve been?
The Grand Canyon. Photos cannot do it justice.

shareI once drove through Yellowstone in the middle of the night on the way to the Great Northwest. You've heard of the expression, " a deer caught in the headlights? " For me it was a moose. At first I mistook it for an elk. And it wasn't a bit scared as that expression implies. Conversely, it was standing in a very dominant, regal manner on a nearby ridge as if it was posing for a picture.
shareThat's a great story. I would love to see a moose in the wild. Were you able to enjoy the park at all or was it a straight run through?
shareYeah, just driving through. It was a business trip and I had a deadline to meet ( which is why I was still driving in the middle of the night). Passing through Yellowstone was a perk of the trip. I remember driving by some hot springs also but the moose sighting was the highlight. It woke me up.
shareSorry, nothing impressive yet. I guess I have to go with the dunes of Maspalomas on Gran Canaria. We went at night and it looked just like a desert.
shareI'd say they're pretty impressive, although not so much at night, I imagine.

The Grand Canyon is nothing at night, either.
Niagara Falls was amazing to me, too. All that power...

(That's my own photo, by the way.)
It actually seemed more like a desert at night, because you couldn't see the sea or anything. Just the sand reflecting the light of the moon (and the giant hotel behind us)

That's a very cool picture, by the way. Love the rainbow!

Canada is the most likely foreign country I have even a chance of seeing. If you were to recommend one can't-miss Canadian site, what would you choose?
shareLake Louise is stunning

Wow. It's a bit of a drive from here but you never know. Train, maybe. Always wanted to take another train trip. I'll have to check if a train's even an option.
shareThe greyhounds go there , thats how i saw Banff.
Then i did a solid 56 hour bus trip from there to Toronto , and i dont think one minute went by i didnt see lightning!
A beach in Peru.
shareLake Superior is another one. Reminds me of an ocean.
shareAbout 10 years ago, shortly after our father's funeral, my brother and his wife took me on motorcycle trip along the north shore of Superior along highway 61. We eventually turned north and went into the Boundary Waters wilderness area, along the Gunflint Trail and nearly to the Canadian border. It's a great memory of mine.
shareAnse Source d’Argent. It was so unreal. I felt like I was on the alien beach in Contact.
shareI've been 13,000 feet falling through the sky bunches of times.
