Well SPOONZ, I'm not sure.

inside my mother belly.. but i dont remember a thing .. it was a looong time ago..

Elham, England - there is no other place so serine

awwwww, hi lil Femur. How are you?

lonely.

The Harlow hospital mental health unit smoking room was pretty out there.

tesco, you never cease to make me go "Hmmm".

I've been to the Historic B Reactor on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, it was very cool...

^that would be pretty cool. One place I would love love love to go is Chernobyl. Apparently they do guided tours through the abandoned city, which is pretty much exactly how it was the day everyone evacuated.

Costa Rica, except that now I can't give blood until August 2007 because there was a chance for malarial infections.! Stupid mosquitos!

Anyway, it's really pretty (we went in July, its wet season and everything is so green!), and it's amazing when the only experience outside of the US (with the exception of this trip) was to Canada a couple of times.

Also, my first time to see the Pacific Ocean! sad, yeah, but... amazings. OMG and the pictures I took... I can only imagine what I would do if I went back again with a dSLR (well, not that I have one, but still... I can dream).

i wanna go to Chernobyl too!



let's take a trip!

i don't think i've ever been anywhere that amazing - i visited stone mtn georgia in december and the pictures were cool - looked like we were on a big rock in the clouds.

i don't know if i can pick one place.

Israel



also, once, inside of a giant soap bubble.

riding down a bowl on my snowboard on keystone resort in colorado. one of those moments that gives you chills. i was def. high on life that day

Camp Barnabas-- a special needs camp in Missouri.

The most life-altering experience/s of my life.

Bath, England was really, really beautiful.



We were staying in a hostel that was on top of a hill overlooking the city, and it was almost mansion-like and modeled after the houses in this really fancy part of Florence(?) called Fiesole.. The city itself is Roman and there is beautiful white marble and Romanesque architecture all over the place. Also, it was the first time I had ever been on another continent (truly OUT of the country), and everything seemed so completely fresh and new and beautiful... the SKY was bluer (true for almost all of England, because the air from the ocean sweeps out the haze.. whereas I'm in the midwest here).. it's almost impossible to describe, but I loved it, and I think it's the prettiest city I've ever seen.

Outside.

The most amazing place I've ever been is Puerto Rico.

We stayed in a really scuzzy place in Juana Diaz for most of the time. The beach was all little bits of rocks and we would sit for hours during our free time and throw rocks into the ocean.

The shore was littered with the remnants of houses destroyed by hurricanes. There was a set of stairs in the middle of the main part of the beach. Every morning I watched the sunrise from those stairs.

And the sunsets were equally amazing. After our mission time was over we went to lots of the little markets and we explored the historic places. The beaches in San Juan are lovely.

I'd highly recommend it.

It's very tough-

Puerto Rico was stunning.

The Isle of Man was amazing and wonderful.

Switzerland was a blast.

So many good places.



I love the world. I want to go traveling again.

krakow poland is over 1000 years old and such an historic and awesome city.....hard to come by a city that has it's castle still in the center of it till this day

Second most amazing place..



My dad and I have gone canoeing in Quetico National Park (really close to the border between Canada and Minnesota) twice. It's incredibly beautiful there. A plane flies over maybe once a day; there are no motors. It's the quietest place I've ever been. It's a system of lakes, and sometimes it feels as though there's nothing left on earth... just rocks and trees thrust up out of the water. The water is incredibly clear, and you see moose, otter, birds, and bald eagles all over the place. It's amazing to see the sun set each night. One of the main reasons I consider it an "amazing" place is also just the effect it had on me.. I'd been having problems with depression for about a year, and after two weeks there I felt like it had all just been washed out of me.

Magic.

The Seychelles, easily. It's a bunch of tiny islands in the middle of the Indian ocean which have been colonised by almost everyone at one time or another. Sits almost directly on the equator so the weather is quite nice and balmy with sudden torrential showers, but almost always at night. One island had birds nesting directly on the ground because there are no predators. There are giant and ancient turtles. Giant fruit bats. mango and papaya trees everywhere.



I could go on and on...

Chernobyl/Pripyat is on my life list of places to go before i die,

if you can find it, Nikolaus Geyrhalter's "Pripyat", is a fascinating look in at life after 1986...

i did a project on Seychelles...tis pretty neato

Perhaps my favorite is a small abbey in belgium called Villers de Ville.

I was there several years ago on Easter weekend and there was a craft festival and it was gorgeous and I remember just running around through all the little rooms that used to be whole.

bumpin, cause I love to read these...

in _____'s pants

hahaha Tracer!

I haven't been many places yet, but I'd say New Orleans (pre-Katrina)

well suprisingly it was in mass. on cape cod in south yarmouth theres this private deck thatr goes 2miles out into the ocean surronded by trees and so forth absolutly amazing walk i was there when it was snowing and it was just amazing it wasnt something out of a fairylandbook or something i will never forget it

Lemonz! I just got my comp back a couple days ago...I spilled coffee in it. I will email you later tonight...

I guess at the moment london, its an amazing city, I want to live there, but my favourite city is chester on a hot summers day theres nothing like walking the walls (medivil and a little bit roman) then going down to the river dee having an ice cream, going to the pub then renting a boat out for a couple of hours.

ive barely traveled but for me watching the sunset on the oregon coast was gorgeous with all the neat rock formations in teh water

Probably Banff National Park in Alberta, Lake Louise in particular.







Beautiful.

haha--cool!





that is gorgeous, julie

The lake is a really cool emerald colour all of the time. It's also hella cold so you can't really swim in it, but there's a hot spring nearby.

catherine's palace in st. petersburg russia



there's a room that's made completely of amber



and the place is filled with gold and all this other pretty stuff

I have been there Crackers. It is amazing.

i want to travel more now!

juliejeremiah, that is one beautiful place.

Ocean City, New Jersey.



It's not anything special as far as looks go, but it's my favorite place to go and to be. It's where my pap was born and raised, and after searching through the family tree I found a lot more relatives in the area. Plus, it's a dry city, everyone I have met is extremely nice, there is a lot to see and do...

Orkney:

Ooh, Lake Louise is so beautiful.

St. Thomas in the virgin islands also has the most beautiful blue water.

Venice is absolutely amazing as well.

I second Margolove's suggestion of Quetico Provincial Park. There were two most amazing places in that park I went to. The first was after a portage around a small ten foot waterfall that was flanked by red and brown cliffs. Inexplicably, at the bottom of the waterfall was a small forest of trees growing directly out of the water. I've never seen anything like it and it was amazing.



The second was an island that couldn't have been more than a couple hundred square feet. The island was so far off the beaten path of the park that all the animals on that island had never seen humans before and were so impossibly curious that they stayed by our campsite all night: Turtles, birds, mice, chipmunks, it was very surreal. One of the chipmunks entertained us with his acrobatics. He seemed to like the attention.

ooo more lovely pics

back at home in the hammok in the greenhouse, untill one day it broke depositing me in a heap of freshly turned compost :( ah those were the days, smelling of sand sea-weed and wet dog and not caring (and compost)

Kakabeka Falls in Ontario







The area around the Terry Fox memorial and Lake Superior.







The badlands around Drumheller, which are full of dinosaur bones.
