When I was very young I saw the aurora borealis. I didn’t appreciate how fantastic it was at the time. I find as I get older I am more in awe and more aware.
I have also been through a few hurricanes. Before the hurricane I am pretty calm, during I get more nervous. My husband is just the opposite. The one exception was when I was home for a hurricane by myself and had to prepare everything, I have muscle trouble and wound up in a lot of pain moving everything from the outside in and trying to make everything safe. It was very very difficult. I like as the hurricane moves in. I like how the rain bands feel just like how they look on the radar screen. It feels the same to me as when I approach a city and you see it grow before you. During the beginning of the storm it isn’t scary, so I can just focus on the whole natural aspect of what is happening. I also have been in the eye of a hurricane once. We went outside, a big no no. Many people in my neighborhood did. The eye was very large, and we had been couped up for hours.
I’ve been to the Valley of Fire outside of Vegas. It’s like being on a different planet.
The Great Lakes. Really beautiful. They can be as blue as the caribbean. Makes me think of how they were created, and the many many lakes in that region. I know more people who go boating in MI than I do in FL.
The Alps. Simply majestic. Tall mountains with pools of blue water at the base of some of them. Just incredible.
Niagra. I didn’t have much of a reaction actually.
Sunrise. I have only see a couple. I find it fascinating. The sky goes from black to indigo. I perceive the curvature of the earth, the fealing the earth is moving, as the sun comes up. To me it is a very “cosmic” experience. I feel very part of the universe when I watch the sun come up.
Fall up north. The colors are so vivid in the northern states of the US.
