Cities with breathtaking geographic features? Discussion

Post image

I’ve only been around the United States, Canada, Mexico, and a few European countries, so my experiences are pretty limited, and maybe I’m a little bias, but seeing Mt. Rainier on a clear day in the backdrop of the Seattle skyline takes my breath away every time.

I know there’s so many beautiful cities around the world (I don’t wanna sound like a typical American who thinks the world is just the states lol).

Interested to hear of some examples of picturesque features from across the world.

Almaty, Kazakhstan. My wife grew up about 200m from the mosque in the picture and every time I’m staying there and staring at the mountains I just keep thinking „I can’t see them, but there are damn snow leopards (!) roaming these mountains!“

Snow leopards truly are amazing animals. Everything from their fur to their acrobatic abilities is mesmerizing to watch. Plus they are adorable as cubs.
