The word environment conjurs many images, debates, and meanings. For Blog Action Day, I assumed that writing about the environment had a specific meaning, to save the environment. But as I reflected more on the topic, I wanted to focus instead on why you would want to save it in the first place. Although I have a long list of places in this world that I would like to visit, I believe that I have seen so many beautiful places, even some in my own backyard. It is this beauty that makes me passionate about words like "environment". So sit back, relax, and enjoy the photos (yes, I took them all!), and think about the beauty on Earth that you have experienced. (also from these photos I think you will realize how much I like the mountains!)
Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Berner Oberland of Switzerland
Along the Columbia River Gorge, on the Washington side
Looking up at Snowdonia, the tallest mountain in Wales and England (I've climbed it twice!)
The Matterhorn in the Valais region of Switzerland
Looking out over the Cascades in Washington
Reflections on a lake in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado
Gathering energy at a vortex near Sedona, Arizona
Mount Fitz Roy in Patagonia, Argentina
Looking down from the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland
Torres del Paine in Patagonia, Chile. I think this is the most beautiful photo I've ever taken...

Did you take all of those photos yourself? They're stunning. And a wonderful reminder of what a beautiful planet we live on.
gorgeous!
Great post and beautiful photos! :)
Hmmm I think I like the Veggie Garden I just posted about better. But both are good. Ooh, you SHOULD come up to the DFW area! And bring me some of those girl scout-type cookies hehe :o).
Beautiful -- you're a mountain addict! I'll have to post a picture for you tomorrow. :) The mountains around here just got a light dusting of snow.
Breathtaking pictures!
Thanks for sharing.
ditto what everybody else said about the beautiful photography. I think its absolutely wonderful that you've had a chance to visit all these places.
OMG! I have practically the EXACT same shot of the Cliffs of Moher! I took it by lying down on the edge of the cliff & snapping the shot straight down. I lived in Cork, Ireland for a year and visited the Cliffs several times. They're so beautiful, aren't they?
Anyway all of your pictures are really fantastic. I bet you enjoyed your trips a lot. In fact, I think you might have inspired me to put up some of my own "environmental" pictures! Thanks for the great idea :)
