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.

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

I call them blueberries, but I’ve heard others call them huckleberries. I’m sure I’ve at least eaten my weight in them over the years.

Huckleberry is the right term. I tried it and it had a dry mouthfeel, like wine. Was also quite acrid. Maybe due to the season (early fall) that I ate them

I figured, but they are blue and taste like blueberries, so I’ll keep calling them blueberries.

Of course, like any fruit, how they taste depends on how ripe or how old they are.

Edit: as well as the conditions they were grown in.
