Cities with breathtaking geographic features? Discussion

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.

Even more gorgeous on it too. The grassy meadows were truly something else.

Took this picture on my trip there in late September. The red on the ground is all berries, which numerous ~~brown~~ black bears comb through and eat

Looks like the ~~visitor's center at Paradise~~. Funny how this shot makes it look like you could just hike on up to the top in an afternoon.

Edit: See below

Paradise is the wrong side, they said Sunrise side. This is from the walk up to split to Burroughs or Fremont Lookout, up the ridge from the sunrise parking lot.
