Beautiful! Grand! Vast! Wow!
What more can you say about nature? I have much respect and adoration for it.

Me too!
I was more a water kind of person but these mountains had me in awe. Yes, nature can leave us speechless.

These photos are quite fabulous! I particularly like them because they are African landscapes. I cannot wait to go to Africa and see them for myself. You are lucky to have seen them for yourself.

Thanks, Sherry. It was lovely to see the mountains.
I can’t wait for you to go so I can hear your impressions,
Talk soon,
Marcia
I love mountains! I can sit all day and watch them. The more you sit, the more refined your seeing becomes.
One day I may get to see Mount Everest, from some nice vantage point. But first Uluru, which is more a rock than a mountain, but it’s a bloody big rock!

Ahh, Mount Everest. Now that’s a mountain! Uluru looks pretty impressive from the photos I’ve seen. I love the color of it. One of these days.
Mountains are so beautiful I could stare at them forever. Unfortunately because I live in Florida, the only time I see mountains is when I read blogs like yours, so I thank you for that.

Oooh, you’re welcome, Bob!
You know, the first time I visited Florida I was surprised how flat it was. It’s one thing to know that it’s flat, quite a whole other thing to see it.
I was always a water person but on this trip, I saw some spectacular mountains and was able to go really high up. Made me really learn to appreciate them.
Thanks for the visit.
