What is the most beautiful place on Earth?

Anywhere in Canada

The Oregon Coast (what else did you think I'd say?)

Hard one. Many great places that just reak of nature's beauty, and a few that reak of man made beauty. A place like the Cumberland gap, or the Grand Canyon, maybe. Or maybe maybe the famous sky veiw of Sydney at night with the ocean and the opera house. Lovely. I think I'll go with Sydney.

And by the way, hi everyone!

To me the most beautiful places on Earth would have to be the rocky mountains of Colorado during winter season.

Home.
Wherever that is!

i have seen many w/ my own eyes...have felt the essence of just as many...and have dreamed of many plus one.. haven't seen the whole world and every nook and cranny so tis truly hard for me to answer which is the most beautiful

right on sister!!

British Columbia, Canada

The Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountains, the clear waters around many Islands, many of the rivers I float in So. Missouri and No. Arkansas, and even the Swamps of Louisiana, and alot more I know I haven't seen.

My yard...there are mountains on all sides of me and wildlife running through the forest, and the sunsets are spectacular.

Here are a few Swamp pics.

Where do you live, it does sound beautiful.

There are many places on Earth I have not seen yet, but some of the most beautiful places I have seen are the beach in Cancun, Mexico; the causeway near Clearwater Beach, Florida; the castle at Disney World; the skyline in New York City, as seen from the harbor where the Statue Of Liberty is.

Alaska!

Bali... New Hampshire... the redwood forests in California... Mt. Fuji...

The South-West of France: the Dordogne valley is unbeatable.

Devon, England

I loved Ireland but for me it has to be the South of France.

I've circled the globe. I've been up and down the west coast of North America from Anchorage to San Diego. I've been to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Nepal and the United Kingdom.

I think the most beautiful place on Earth is Alaska.

Thank you!

The big picture near the bottom of the page is nice!

Oh good! Someone agrees with me.

I live in Anchorage.

Sorry! Can't take you there as they're all in my mind.

I think that Dora has the best answer...

There are several in San Francisco -- Diamond St. on Castro Hill (or Dolores Hts West) between 20th and 24th Sts; All of Twin Peaks, especially Twin Peaks East and the summit; All of Corona Hts; Mt. Olympus around Upper Terrace; Clarendon Hts; some individual fav. sts. -- Vulcan Stairway; Lower Terrace; Saturn; Greystone Terrace, Villa Terrace; Elizabeth St between Hoffman and Grand View; Pemberton Stairs; Iron Alley wood steps...

The stretch of countryside between Sheffield and Manchester - as seen from the Snake Pass or the railway track between the two cities. It's the sort of moorland that gets right inside you and the sweeping hills that make your head soar and rush and your heart expand. Maybe that's because it's the kind of countryside that screams "home" to me.

I was there in August of 1995. We did some serious drunken karaoke at this little downstairs bar that served all the drinks in old jam jars. Ya know the one I mean?

Nope. I don't go to the bars.

The skyline in New Orleans as seen from the highrise bridge. The beaches of the Carolinas are beautiful, especially at sunset. These are things I've taken pictures of while driving. The N.O. skyline was taken on my way to work one evening. The Carolinas when on vacation one summer. I don't have the pics right now or I'd post them too.

annoddoblivion! hi! where the heck have you been? i have missed you. hope you will be around for awhile!
later...

Dunno, I haven't seen all the places on this planet, but I liked Ireland and Finland very much.

Lindos on Rhodes is sort of encapsulated (is that a word) by two peninsulas. On the tip of one is the tomb of Kleobolus. You cna sit on top of that and look to your right where the village is and see genuine joy and contentment on the faces of the people on the beach, backed by the lovely little white buildings. You can look straight ahead into the sea that shines a stunning blue/green and could stretch forever. You can look left and see the rugged landscape of cliffs and rocky plains where only the most hardy animals can live. To my eyes, truly beautiful.

Alternatively, you can go up to Scrone above the village of drumnadrochit in the Highlands. At just the right spot you can see the 15 miles up and 11 miles down the loch. Urquhart Castle is just below you and because the Hihland weather is so unpredictable, everytime you go it will be different.

I liked that one the best too, I've got some better pics butthat was the page with the most on it and the most variety, without having to put in a bunch of links.

I've seen pictures of Canada in Autumn and they looked beautiful.

My mind.

Canada is very beautiful. The maple trees turn so many beautiful colours in the autumn -- not all the same. Some are yellow, some red, some luxurious brown. A hillside of maples with all the colours looks particularly lovely. In my opinion, there aren't enough red ones.

You're welcome. Uh, why? Do you live in BC? I haven't made it to Alaska yet but one of these summers I'll get the chance.

Irish landscape. Jamaica is also very pretty country.

New Zealand

i have several that i think.
West Virginia
Western Part of Canada (Alberta,British Columbia)
Japan
China
and finally Hawaii

Yes, I was born here, and live in Vancouver's Chinatown in a 5th floor apartment with a beautiful view of the mountains.

Yes, you should see Alaska! We did it as a road-trip in late July, early August. The temperatures were damn close to what we had at home at the same time. We used a pickup truck with one of those camper things on the back. There's gobs of RV parks. It seems that a lot of those retired Americans in the big motor-homes that travel all over the place like to go up there. We saw more of them on the road than anything else.

A vista in Vermont's Green Mountains. I went there once and the view is awesome.

New York City!!!

I've always rather liked Manhattan. I'm sure there are more beautiful places, but I haven't gone to very many places. And there are different kinds of beauty anyway.

The Garden of Eden

hhhmm, so many places to name!! i don't think i could fit them.

When I'm not at college I have little access to the internet. But one of our friends is a computer whiz and got us free internet, so now I always have access. I love it!

And of course it's good to see/hear from you too!

hey, thats great! free net! hope you had a nice holiday season - now its back to your studies. i will make this quick cuz i should get to bed soon, but we will have to talk more later. glad you are back. hope to be seeing you around regular again.

Alaska

Aren't Alaskans COOL???

Yes, especially in winter.

The South Island of New Zealand is breathtaking. The north Queensland (Australia) coast, where the rainforest meets the reef - Great Barrier that is. I think the Canadian Rockies are amazing, and Yosemite and Yellowstone.

Yes, sounds good. Maybe we'll log on together sometime and we can chat. You do good on your studies too(didn't you say you were in college {at Florida}?). Anywho...Sleep well! Now I guess it's 'Hope you slept well!'

Although I've never been there, my guess would be somewhere in Alaska, under the show of the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis.

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen was during a vacation to Ecuador. I was riding in a car, down a mountain to the beach, and we went through a very long tunnel. When we reached the end, our driver said, 'just look to the right', and it was a vertical cliff, about 200 feet, right beside us. Across the gap were 3 waterfalls, flowing down the other side of the semi-valley thing. Hard to explain, and I'd be surprised to meet another person who's seen it, but it was astounding. Not a tourist place by any means, just a bit of a roadside attraction/distraction for those that would dare venture out on an Ecuadorian highway. Incredible, I say.

After spending 8 1/2 years playing sailor in the Navy, you get to see some nice and not so nice places. Sunset in the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of nowhere. Seas are calm and darkness starts to fall. The skies are filled with reds, yellows, and orange. You can hear the gentle waves splashing up against the side of the ship. This causes the ship to gently rock causing you to fall asleep like a baby rocking in its mothers arms. Then reality sets in and the next day all hell breaks loose as you try to get the ship into Bermuda during a hurricane as the ship is running out of fuel. Little tug boats trying desperately to keep the big destroyer off of the rocks and get it dockside. Just as the crew tosses the lines to the dock, the ships engine die due to no fuel. Bouncing off of the dock the crew finally gets the mighty destroyer secured dockside. The next morning the sky is clear and you can see to the bottom of the bay as you look through the sea water. It's that Bermuda Triangle thing!

Well, I guess I can't answer this since the most beautiful place on earth is anywhere as long as I am with my darlin Denise.

my backyard it has canyons and cati and water/beach it has it all but nude sunbathers :(

Arkansas, out in the countryside.

Monterey, California. After that, Nice, France.

I think Canada the water falls are really pretty.

I don't think that there could ever be just one -there must be an endless amount. When I was younger, I thought the farm that I lived on was the most beautiful place in the world - particularly when everything was growing in the summer.

I don't know if I'm qualified to answer this question because I haven't been everywhere in the world, but I'd have to say out on the other side of the railroad tracks by McHugh Creek. You can see the mountains surrounding the ocean on all sides and some days when there is a light mist and the sun is shining you not only get the glimmer of the sun on the ocean but also a beautiful double rainbow - not to mention the whales, dull sheep, moose, eagles and occasional bears that can be seen!

The inside of a pub with a good band playing and some pints being served is the most beautiful place on earth.

What is your idea of a good band?

Them for example: http://www.saltydog.ca/
A band that can get the ppl singing and having a good time all night long.

Wow! Good music! Makes me want to get up and dance. Can't wait till I'm old enough to visit a pub! I might just order a cd. Thanks!

Duckfoot Island.

The ocean is the most amazing sight on earth.

The Shire

I'm with you! Cheers!

"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" Some might think a garbage dump is beautiful. I'm sure there is beauty my eyes will never see. I lived in Belize Central America for 3 months and some parts were beautiful, especially around the Caribbean Sea.

It'll be grand!

Galway Bay and the the Burren (huge area covered in limestone) as seen from the Connemara Coast, County Galway, Ireland.

There are some beautiful places have seen from movies and pics but here are places I have actually seen in person. Also seen beautiful country from traveling most of my own homeland, United States. So I definitely agree with the song "America the Beautiful"!

I visited the Tulum Ruins in Cozumel, Mexico and the beautiful Lagoon Xel-Ha'.

California:
Lassen Park, CA http://www.shastahome.com/lassen-volcanic/park.htm http://www.coloma.com/ (Husband and I were married here)

I didn't know would be able to see it there but when moved to Washington State and staying at my husband's cousin's place, the cousin came inside and told us to come out to see something and it was the Northern Lights!! I have always dreamed of seeing this! Prob not as spectacular as in other places but it was still awesome!! What a blessing!!!

I think it is Hawaii the Island

when i've seen everyplace on earth i'll let you know

ooo that is so hard. Tropical islands with their crystal clear waters and lush vegetation, or majestic mountains standing tall and stark and rocky....by the way, I love coming out of the Mojave Desert into the mountains like you are going to Bakersfield, CA. The lush greens make me think of what Ireland must look like...I've never been there. And all those windmills! It's just beautiful. But I thought that the waters in the Bahamas were beautiful and looking down on the clouds in the Blue Ridge was fascinating and climbing the Rockies was breath taking... so I guess I just love the beauties of the outdoors period. I've not spent a great deal of time with snow, but it is beautiful too. I even like the desert, some.

Italy

Devon, officially the best county in England!

Nooooooo! Yorkshire beats it hands-down. Devon is quite pretty but it's full of southerners

Anywhere I am.

I agree!

Paris

That would have to be Dallas (not because it is a "beautiful" city, but because it is where my life is -- my loved ones are here. But if you are asking for "beautiful" as in eyes of the beholder that would be Germany. The most incredible mountains, lush valleys, language, incredible history and the Alps.

Any place I can see ASB naked.

1- Bosphorus / Istanbul (Turkey)
2- Olympos / Antalya (Turkey)
3- Venice (Italy)
4-Florence (Italy)

This place would be obviously Deadsea / Fethiye in Turkey :) You can get bored of naked beauty!

Here are two other places I have been that I found very beautiful!


http://www.southernindianascuba.com/trips/akr/index.htm (click on the pic of Perry and the dolphin)

http://www.maps-of-mexico.com/playa_del_carmen_mexico.shtml
(You can click any where on the map but I have only visited Tulum, Xel-Ha and Cozumel)

I've been to Xel-Ha!!! I loved it, ahhh, snorkeling! I spent a week in Playa Del Carmen/Cozumel, back when I was about 12. I've read that it's much more commercial now, which is a shame.

Oh it was beautiful wasn't it!!! One thing tho I would just love to go back and be able to enjoy what I wasn't able to then. Not sure about the diff being commercial but prob is...I went there on a cruise in March of 1999. Also went to Roatan, Honduras and that is where I had the wonderful dolphin encounter...meeting Rita, she had a 5 month old too at that time! I want to swim with the dolpins...I read a really cool book called 'Mermaid' with dolphins in it (of course), but I would have to find the author's name, it is no longer published but I found it at amazon.

though number two would have to be cape henlopen, delaware (at night when the surf is high) - the #1 most beautiful place was from high on a mesa near acoma pueblo (AZ - I believe) looking down into a valley and over to the other mesas...over-over-overwhelming...

Niagara Falls

Guam...I've only been once, but I think that's pretty good considering i live in boring ol' michigan

I saw the Northern Lights a few times too - I love the sound!!!
