When it comes the time of Thanksgiving I begin to wonder what I am thankful for. There are billions of things I’m thankful for, but I came up with three very important things. I am thankful for my parents, my dog, and the lake.…
The national parks that make up the heritage site are all located on the spine of the Bukit Barisan Mountains, known as the Andes of Sumatra. Offering a magnificent panoramic view, the mountainous and untouched national parks contrast remarkably to the cultivated and developed lowlands of Sumatra. The mixed views from the Bukit Barisan mountain chain of the stunning Lake Gunung Tujuh (the highest lake in Southeast Asia), the splendor of the giant volcano Mount Kerinci, and many small volcanic, coastal and glacial lakes in natural forest settings create an environment of spectacular beauty.…
From all the health benefits that hiking can bring as well as the sense of serenity the one might feel, two photographers that both enjoy this activity took amazing photos of true beauty that only the great outdoor can offer. Both Arnab Banerjee and Galen Rowell are outdoors men that don’t take it for granted and can bring out the purity of nature. Galen Rowell seem like he was always meant to be a photographer. Rowell was born in Oakland 1940 and grew up in Berkeley, California. He was college professor and a later became a concert cellist. However, since he was young he was interested in the outdoors. He began hiking and climbing various mountains at the age of ten on Sierra Club outings, and by the age of sixteen he made his first…
In all my travels, never would I have thought that a hike up Sunrise Mountain would turn out to be so rewarding, but for me, it was the place where I taught my sons to love and respect exercise, prepared our bodies for the everyday physical journey through life, and found solitude in my thoughts.…
The rhythmic sound of the chains and excited whoops were the only thing I heard as we went up the hill. The rest of the park was spread out below us, and I could see for miles. As we reached the crest of the hill, Natalie shouted, “Here we go!”…
They take pictures of the mountain climbers at the top of the mountain. They are smiling, ecstatic, triumphant. They don’t take pictures along the way cause who wants to remember the rest of it? We push ourselves because we have to not because we like it. The relentless climb, the pain and anguish of taking it to the next level – nobody takes pictures of that, nobody wants to remember, we just want to remember the view from the top, the breathtaking moment at the edge of the world. That’s what keeps us climbing and it’s worth the pain, that’s the crazy part. It’s worth anything.…
The Scorching sun beamed on my back and neck as we tiredly walked up the sloped concrete. I knew it was going to be a long time before we found the car, and once we did find it, that we were going to be exhausted.…
After about thirty minutes of travel I came to the main shaft that led to the upper levels. I absorbed the stillness hearing only my own breathing. I took a couple pictures of this unique and different scene that was in front of me.…
The view was terrific. But to one who is unaccustomed to being among the clouds, it can be terrifying. Sites from such a great distance above the earth bring forth a feeling of fear and awe. As one of the majority of people who dislike heights, this emotion is common when I find myself any more than three feet off the floor. Falling is what really horrifies me. There are many lookout points on the thousands of mountains along the Appalachian Trail, but there is one that truly captures the feeling of the terrific and terrifying view. I stood, approximately one hundred feet from the ground, on a piece of mountain that seemed to jut out from the summit of a mountain. Only teen feet of rock kept me from falling to my death. Overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains, the view was the most stunning I had ever seen. I peered miles into the distance at the roaring hills of the trail from my panoramic picture. Standing in awe of the beauty of the landscape around me, I couldn’t help but fear for my life as if the…

Our society in the US today is one that enjoys traditions and celebrations. We are able to see this due to the crazy amount of holidays we have, ranging from important to foolish. Even though the majority of citizens put emphasis on a select few, there are some holidays that should be taken more seriously and maybe some that shouldn’t. Although we have an abundance of holidays/celebrations in this country, I still think there is room for a couple more. I believe that a National family background day and a National swimming day should be two holidays added on to the list. Both of these proposed holidays could and should be extremely imperative to the United States of America.…
