The DU Lounge

When I saw it, I experienced for the first time the phrase "beathtakingly beautiful." Literally drew in my breath and stopped breathing momentarily.

Besides that, I see beauty in many ordinary, lesser known places. Sunsets on Lake Erie. Fresh snowfall creating an isolated winter wonderland on Presque Isle peninsula at Erie, PA. The architecture of old buildings in Buffalo and in quaint, small villages in PA. The colors of the Appalachian foothills in autumn. Azalea and lilac blossoms in spring.

I have not traveled much, only to a few places in the US and Canada. Charleston, SC and nearby beaches, DC, Richmond, VA, NYC, St. Louis (arches and Mississippi River), Phoenix and desert, WVA mountains, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Detroit, Windsor, Ontario, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Tampa and outlying areas, Savannah, GA.

Saw some interesting sights in those places, but, for beauty, the Shenandoah Valley and lesser known places mentioned above are what stand out in my mind.
