iceland is basically like the most beautiful country on earth. i mean sure there are other amazingly beautiful countries, but none are as well-preserved and isolated from the rest of the world like iceland is.

I'm slowly working on mapping my travels in Google Maps. Is it possible to attach images to certain locations? Would be a nice collection of "planet earth" images I (or my travelmates) have taken.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The Earth has unlimited beauty, so much that it presses in on us--we only have to take the time to notice it. When we see things daily, it is normal for a human to become used to it, and to forget how beautiful it is. So I'm making this post as an ode to the state I have spent almost my entire life in--and this is only a small sample of what my state has to offer.
What I'm trying to say is you don't have to travel long distances to experience the Earth's beauty.
Well, unless you live in Iowa
[collapse=Florida]
The Keys- The southern island archipelago of Florida, the Keys are a well known vacation spot for good reason

Water spouts are relatively common during the summer months, very few are caused by strong tornado level storm cells



Fort Jefferson at the Dry Tortugas National Park- Located west of Key West, this Fort is situated on an isle barely big enough to contain it (I'm looking to travel here soon.)



Everglades National Park- The most well-known national park in Florida is little more than swamplands, but even swamps are beautiful





Biscayne National Park- Located East of Homestead, this parks has the longest stretch of mangrove forest on Florida's East coast

Biscayne is one of the most heavily scuba-dived (dove?) places in Florida; the vast majority of the park is water



Blue Springs State Park- Located within walking distance of where I am typing this, this spring is known for occasionally attracting large populations of manatees (and fireflies)



Apalachicola- The birthplace of modern airconditioning (say thank you!), this old-timey southern town is situated on one of the many powdered beaches of the west coast of Florida

It's a nice quiet small town, so small it seems google images doesn't have much showing its beach

i agree with you man. i live an arizona and it's annoying when people (especially natives) write this state off as just "crappy brown desert" based on what they see when they look out the window from the highway.

this state has so much beauty all over the place, not just in the grand canyon, but in many pockets across the entire state.

too lazy to find pictures, but yeah.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like seeing city landscapes like that. Both in real life and in pictures.
