The Blue Ridge mountains are beyond amazing. Blue haze covers them, almost making the mountains and scenery nearly vanish; creating a place for imagination to stir inside of people. The Blue Ridge mountains inspire me because they make me feel free, help me get to know nature better, and show the wonders and mysteries Earth has on it. When I am in the Blue Ridge, it makes me feel self-ruling. There are no fences or houses to block your way or your simplistic view of the glorious mountains. This makes many obstacles a head of me difficult to overcome since I do not have everyday technology at my hands. I have no science to interfere with my overwhelmed mind. The cool, crisp of Autumn falls upon the beauties of nature during fall which brings lively colors to the leaves, such as red, orange, yellow, and hues of brown. This invites my soul to run wild, fly high, and blend in with its natural home. I am one with the world. One of the best things about staying in the mountains is that it helps me to understand nature. As I observe the leaves change from green to different shades of reds, yellows, oranges, and browns in the fall it helps me get a clearer view of our world today. It shows me the …show more content…
A fog seems to cover the mounds of trees when I try to look around. It blocks most of my view so all I do is stare at the outlines of other mountains in the distance through the strange, dark blue haze. Usually, that is no help. Since I cannot see much only blue mountain tops that lie ahead of me. But, I don’t let that fool me, I can still walk around or travel to other places without trouble. The mountains seem to make me want to look like a fool rather than be an adventurer. As I get closer to the peaks the mysterious fog seems to vanish, but still, makes it difficult to see things in the far distance. Luckily it isn’t harmful. The harmless mist is just a cloud that surrounds the mountains all year
There are innumerable examples of Montana's good qualities, far too many to name all of them, but several of these examples are the recreation, history and beauty of Montana. Recreation in Montana includes sports like biking, skiing, hiking, and a many more outdoor recreational activities. The wide open areas create almost endless possibilities for outdoor recreation, and the relatively small population decreases the clutter along lakes, trails, streams, and other venues for recreation. Also, the small population and large open spaces have a preserving effect on Montana's historical buildings, monuments, and other objects of historical significance and interest. Montana is able to keep these historical sites safe because demand for these sites both for industrialization and by the general population is not too great. The small population and large open areas also allow for a broad range of wildlife habitation, which is excellent for both recreational activities like hunting and fishing and for wildlife viewing. Montana's beautiful and varied landscapes are also remarkable to view. The towering, craggy mountains; vast, spectacular forests; massive, grassy plains; and numerous lakes, rivers, and streams, many of which are very sparsely populated, are magnificent to behold. All these pleasurable aspects of Montana are direct results of its generally rural environment and would not be possible without this characteristic. It is evident that those who love Montana are most likely in love with its rural setting.
My youth pastor pulled out of our church parking lot at three am in the morning loaded down with a bus full of twenty four teenagers including me. We were off at last head to Colorado Spring Colorado, little did I know, our bus was going to fall apart this very day.
...d the ability to look out on all the surrounding peaks is powerful to say the least. All you can see while standing on top is one of the best feelings of my life and the awe-inspiring awesomeness is unmatched anywhere in the world.
Pine trees line the base, to show that wildlife would recover with less pollution being put into the air. Snow still sits on the top of the mountains despite the warm sunny day to show less pollution and to show our seasons would seem normal again without so much pollution.
Many parts of the Appalachian Mountains are pleasing to the eye. The Great Smoky Mountains are one of a kind mountains. I was on the top of one of the mountains and the view was breathtaking
As the two men hiked, they came upon many rugged trails and hills that were difficult to overcome, however they did it together and kept moving on. The view from the trail was beautiful with many places to stop and admire the view, but they couldn’t seem to get above the canopy of the trees to truly take in the whole view. The man that strove to see the beautiful scenery from an unobstructed viewpoint was trying in every way to get above what was around him to see the true beauty of the mountains.
Have you ever looked off a gigantic cliff? Now imagine traveling 30 miles per hour on a bike with curvy roads with enormous cliffs on your side with no rails. This is exactly what I did with my family when we went to Colorado. From the hotel we drove to a bike tour place to take us to the summit of Pikes Peak. After we arrived at the building we saw pictures of how massive the cliffs were, but what terrified me was the fact they had no side rails. This observation was thrilling as well as terrifying. It was an odd mix of emotions, but I loved the adrenaline rush it gave me. My dad whispered to me, “ This will be absolutely horrifying”.
Albert Bierstadt’s “The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak” uses scaling and illumination to demonstrate that nature is more important than civilization. This painting is typical to Durand because he has done many paintings with typical subject matter. The Rocky Mountains influenced him to paint a different mountain. His painting emphasizes fog, clouds, and mist to show the height of the mountains. He references Manifest Destiny where the Rocky Mountains represent pristine beauty and challenge to western expansion. He uses light at the bottom and guides it up to demonstrate going up a mountain is a challenge to western expansion. The mountain is sharply pointed and the clouds that are lighten, float above the serene green scene. The painting
Dani and I stand in the sun waiting for the “men” to catch up. The view was worth Quill’s whining and navigating through the snow. The breeze catches in the bright green and gold of new Aspen leaves whispering around the lake. The Pine trees scent the air and bask in the sun to steal its warmth from the forest below. The trees are a dark canopy along our path permitting only a few patches of the raised finely mulched trail to a beam or two of sun. Framed like a photo three pencil lead gray peaks rise above a lower sweeping curve of pines. They look close enough to walk over the ridge and touch them. Boulders precariously cling to the side of the mountains. The perfect deep blue early summer sky is the perfect backdrop.
I almost fell off a cliff on the side of a mountain. I was in Pitkin, Colorado, on a camping trip during the summer of 2009. The trees were green, the air was fresh so were the lakes, rivers, and ponds were stocked with fish and wildlife was everywhere. Usually, on these camping trips, I would be accompanied by a large number of people. However, this time, it was just my parents, my three brothers, and my two sisters. I was almost 12 years old at the time and having three older brothers made me very competitive. Naturally, when my family decided to climb one of the mountain’s which were around us, I wanted to be the first one to reach its peak.
In hiking, as in life, there are choices between success and pain, pride and safety; this is the story of one such choice. Last summer I participated in the Rayado program at Philmont Scout Ranch. The eighth day of the trek was my crew’s greatest challenge: Super Black Death, a hike of seven peaks in one day.
The overall poem is a gesture of admiration towards nature. Six simple lines describe an everyday change of a whether which turns out to be not as ordinary as it sounds. By introducing the entrance of the fog to the city, the writer refers to finding charm in everything that happens in the world of nature. The image of fog is so sudden and instant with its glimpse of pleasantness and charm. The words
I used to go there to be alone or to dream with my eyes open admiring the blue sky or the clouds. I liked to go there to lay down on the grass, listen to the wind, kiss the flowers and watch the leaves moving. It was hard to go up the hill to get there, but I wanted to see everyday my seven trees, to see how the color of the leaves changed and to feel the softness of the grass.
This area of the world is so foreign to my Oklahoma life; it infuses me with awe, and with an eerie feeling of being strongly enclosed by huge mountains, and the mass of tall trees. However, when my foot first steps onto the dusty trail it feels crazily magical. The clean, crisp air, the new smell of evergreen trees and freshly fallen rain is mixed with fragrances I can only guess at. It is like the world has just taken a steroid of enchantment! I take it all in, and embrace this new place before it leaves like a dream and reality robs the moment. As I turn and look at my family, I was caught by my reflection in their impressions. The hair raising mischief in the car was forgotten and now it was time to be caught up in this newness of life. It was as if the whole world around us had changed and everyone was ready to engulf themselves in it. The trickling of water somewhere in the distance and the faint noise of animals all brought the mountains to
The sight of Mount Fuji and the spring sky on a sunny day can be overwhelming at times. As clear as a crystal, the sky can be so open and void that anyone could get lost if they stared at it for a while. The shade of blue in the sky can only be described as being buru-gurasu (“blue glass” in Japanese). The vastness of the sky is like an optical illusion, it forces the brain to perceive there being a beautiful, silk like covering that envelops the earth. The clouds that are present in the image appear to be touching the ground in the distance. The clouds are so close to the ground, that it looks like that if someone was standing underneath them, they would be able to reach out and grab them. The cumulonimbus and stratocumulus clouds present themselves as being fluffy, solid and comfortable to the touch. The clouds also look like they are emer...
