What are the most beautiful places you've ever seen

Amazing

Perito Moreno glacier, in Southern Patagonia

Pyongyang

>>212636537 (OP)
Croydon

Olympic National Park is among them, and maybe the very best

>>212637616
this is also Olympic NP

>>212636537 (OP)
2 big hills on your mom's chest

>>212637648
Redwood National and State Parks are up there too

>>212637616
>>212637648
I lived in seattle for some time and never went to olympic national park once because my brother didn't want to go.

>>212637689

>>212637701
brutal

Alps I think

>>212637725
do you have crampons and an ice axe and all that?

>>212637766
No, and no real experience with snow and ice mountaineering in general. I and my group stopped at the glacier and turned around. I would like to eventually get into that sort of thing though and do the Hoh River Trail again but actually summit Mt. Olympus.

>>212637749

>>212638415
Where (in Chile, presumably) is this?

Turin

>>212638485
spaniards will hate me for saying it, but barcelona

>>212638526
das Paradies auf Erden, Mallorca

>>212636537 (OP)
Washington state or Yosemite I'd reckon

>>212638667
to be brutally honest I thought yosemite kinda sucked

>>212638685
Why come? You hike Yosemite Falls? Here's a photo from a hike near Seattle.

>>212638685
I can say that, while the Sierra Nevada are certainly nice and worth visiting, they're second rate compared to what else the country has to offer. Picrel is Rae Lakes Loop

>>212636537 (OP)
Wisconsin

>>212638717
>You hike Yosemite Falls
no, but I did hike up mount dana (because you don't need a yosemite reservation to do it lol)

it's fine but it's not nearly as beautiful as the things I've seen in montana or washington honestly

wait a sec, let me show you some hot springs in idaho / montana. actually a fucking majestic place

>>212638717
This is a natural hot springs in bitterroot

>>212638790
I weren't like nowhere without trees. It ain't right. Not where a human is meant to be.

>>212638833
:)

>>212638876
did you ever see the tallest tree in the world

>>212638876
Based. Logging Redwoods should get the death sentence.

>>212638876
your pictures of beautiful i wish i could see these irl

>>212638909
Hyperion, yes, back during the short window of a few years after the location had been leaked but before an exclusion zone was demarcated (with fines for entering). Didn't take any pictures because we arrived at sundown (on the shortest day of the year; great planning) and had to turn back to try to find the trail again before the light was totally gone. Also, a picture from the ground wouldn't do it justice. It would just look like any other big coast redwood. Some authorized people (maybe NatGeo or something) made a composite image from drone-captured images though.

>>212638941
>>212639054
it's so hard for me to imagine how fucking stupid the americans / canadians in the 1800s and 1900s were that cut down these otherworldly trees

>>212638941
>>212639077
There are quasi-credible claims of super-hyperion height trees (many of which weren't even redwoods of any variety) that we myopically logged.

>>212636537 (OP)
Northern Québec. Especially the région between La Malbaie and Tadoussac.
Most beautiful place i've ever been to in my life.
Northern america is unmatched when it comes to wilderness.

>>212638876
>>212638717
>>212637725
do you guys currently live in CA or WA?
we should hang out and go hiking

>>212638833
Based and EdwardAbbeypilled.

Prince Edward Island (where I live)

>>212639160
Yeah I'm in SoCal. Was in NorCal for
college, but graduated last year.

>>212638980
What we have left is only a very small fraction of what once was. Make an effort to see them while we still have this remnant.
>>212638909
I've also seen General Sherman, the largest tree by volume (very easy to access), and I hope to see Methuselah, the oldest known living (non-clonal) tree (whose location has been leaked if you know where to look) to get another superlative tee under my belt. California remarkably has all three of these superlative trees.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_superlative_trees
Picrel is just some Great Basin bristlecone pine tree, not Methuselah.

>>212639208
have you been up to the aerial tram / mount san jacinto? it's fucking beautiful man. idylwild is the most charming little town I've seen in SoCal by far

it's also a really pleasant day hike that can extend into a two day backpacking trip if you want it to. I liked it a lot

>>212639160
I do not, unfortunately, but my dream is to move to the PNW at some point, but that seems unlikely to happen in the near future.

I wonder if anyone can guess where this was taken

lake garda

>>212636537 (OP)
West of Flathead Lake near Kalispell, Montana is a beautiful area. I saw the aurora there last summer, though the photo of that isn't as nice as this one.

>>212639303
No never been. I'll check it out, thanks.

Oh and here's a picture to show the monumentality of the giant sequoias. The guy pictured is 6'0".

>>212639551
dont fucking climb on them you degenerate fuckwit

>>212638866
I hate plebbitors so fucking much

>>212639625
That's not me, and it also doesn't harm them. The bark is nearly a foot thick around the base where he is.

>>212639644
Took this like 10mins ago while reading this thread.
Unreal.

>>212638876
come to australia and see our redwoods

>>212639787
If I'm ever in that part of the world, I'll be sure to.

>>212639133
Canada in general has amazing natire everywhere but i like the part of quebec thats close to the see the most. Basically anything past quebec city

when I was a kid, this was the most magical place on earth. We'd always come here to visit my grandma for christmas or just to pay her a visit and as a kid, I spent so much time on the buff or at the tidepools that the area is still burned into my brain decades later. I want you to imagine being a kid when spongebob came out and seeing all these funny sea creatures and then you can just walk down to this rocky outcropping surrounded by pounding surf(oh my god it was so fun to watch waves smash against the rocks in huge plumes of foam) and see all the same crustaceans and creatures you saw on the television like sea anemones, starfish, crabs, plankton, occasionally a whale spout out in the distance, jumping around rocks and climbing cliffsides, going into a cave once within the cliffside and rushing to get out back out before the tide came in. There were fucking SEA LIONS bathing by the dozens right on the other side of a cliff, and you could stare down at them as they sunbathed or made their adorable barking sounds. There were these large rocks farther out in the ocean that had seaweed growing out of them that looked like trees, and when the waves crashed against them I'd imagine they were getting hit by a hurricane.

this particular outcrop of trees in pic related(ignore the geezer, I got this from google but I recognize the exact place and trail because) I'd clumb up and the branches stretched out over the bluff so youre just sitting on this thich tree branches right over a 20 foot drop into the ocean while waves crashed below you. 20 or 30 ft away theres a staircase down to a beach that few people used so there was no jostling for space
there was an archway of rocks that either was manmade or carved by centuries of surf and I still have it as my phone lock screen from when I was 14 and I climbed down to get to it right as the tide rolled in

god I miss it so much

>>212640048
sea ranch is the place where all the houses have the same architectural style right?

>>212640066
the best god damn architecture in the world(or maybe I just have a fetish for bay windows), got me into architectural design autism for a small while

>>212640094
you wish your pools looked like this

>desert shithole where the sky itself is on fire

sad.

>>212637749
Looks like Norway to me

>>212640568
>desert shithole
Lmao, thats southwest oregon. definitely NOT a desert.

>>212636537 (OP)
Dont know about places but as far as beautiful people go I've seen (you) ;)

I'm too poor to see enough of the world to make a solid judgement. I've dipped my toe in 4 continents and in my limited experience my native land is the prettiest place I know.

>>212636978

Too bad that the parking lots are almost as big as the village.
If you get there in winter there's a nice ski station 5 miles from there, you get there using s couple of cable cars. They also rent snowshoes too if you can't ski.

>>212638526
No hate, compared to Madrid it looks way nicer.

Now, let me soak you....

May I ask what kind of maintenance they do on the wood to make it last? Varnish and polish it regularly?

>>212639077
>>212639105
Did you know?
All those trees will eventually die anyways.
That region no longer has comparable fog banks rolling in from the Pacific like it did daily during ancient times, so the same trees will never grow that big again.
And nature won't even notice either way.
The world's tallest or oldest tree or largest contiguous organism or animal is only of value to human beings because they think it's cool.
It has no larger significance.

>>212642242
jfc, what a view into absolute mental illness

>>212642648
>Erm... did you know the things we value only hold value because we value them??
No shit retard, we're the only things that can value anything. Do you think we think the trees appreciate themselves? I hope you're a kid going through your first nihilism phase.

>St. George's beach in Symi

The sand dunes of Lancelin. Honestly, it felt like I was sitting on silk, it was so fine to the touch.

>>212643807
Grizzly bears? Their range does extend a bit into Washington state, but not into the Olympic peninsula. Black bears do inhabit the area though. Never saw any bears on the Olympic peninsula personally. Here's a young (and kinda mangy) black bear in the Sierra Nevada. Not a great pic because it's a video frame.

>>212636537 (OP)

God's own country, Yorkshire. Simple as.

thats norway

>>212642242
Absolute lunacy. I wonder if this girl was abused in her childhood.

From the ones I've been to, Lençóis Maranhenses. Patagônia, some US parks, Alps and some regions around the med look pretty good, I'd like to visit someday.

ENGLAND.

If you put filters and effects on your photos and videos you are disqualified.

Raw natural beauty ONLY

Picture turned sideways but doesn't matter here is a better one

>>212649634
Raw photos don't represent what your eyes are seeing either, it's just saying how expensive your camera is

>>212651819
this
every photo you see is computational photography

the neighborhood i live in now, Indian Beach in sarasota, florida. i have lived here 5 years. unfortunately due to rising rent i am moving across town at the end of the month.
if i ever become very wealthy one day, i will move back here.

>>212649634
cameras have had to be beaten into a semblance of the human eye. there is nothing automatic or given about how the human eye sees the world against the many alternative ways of seeing, and a camera will always be an imperfect means of replicating the eye. as such, insofar as a photographer's goal is to capture what he sees, there is no meaningful impurity in editing, unless there is also impurity in using a camera

>>212646567
Very cool. We have something similar in the U.S. called White Sands National Park, but the dunes are smaller it seems.

To this day I still don't know how catalonians psyopped the world into thinking barcelona is worth visiting

>>212656732
It does have it's beauty in a lot of places. Awesome architecture. Excellent food, you can get Argentinian barbecue, Spanish paella, Rustico sandwiches with god tier prosciutto, might all be in the same neighborhood. The view from the beaches are beautiful, clean, with mountains and skylines visible all around. Culturally it feels hostile though and excessively globalized. I went into multiple convenience stores where it was some guy from Pakistan working who could barely speak English, let alone Spanish and definitely not Catalonian. That was shocking. At least in Paris/Marseille all the Arabs bother to learn French and maybe some English. And the locals make it obvious they hate you unless they're Castillians.

I know almost all the caves of the more than 100 that are accessible, including those that are off-limits to the public.
