I took this photo when I went for a road trip eight months ago with some members of the family. Very beautiful breathtaking works of art.Very refreshing because of its very lush greens and the weather that time was like of a cool breeze.It's high up in the mountain, very peaceful. A good place to hibernate and escape the busy city life.

Love lush green anything. Reminds me of Ireland. Escape the busy city life. Now that is nice to do. The whole world opens up and becomes this serene blanket of green. Sweet smelling and earthy. Yes, very peaceful. Gotta love the mountains. Nice plce to hunker down and enjoy the coolness on a hot summer night too.

Looks lovely. Our foothills here look alot like that. Chinese that came here about sixty or seventy years terraced off the foothills to grow vegetables.

It is actually man-made and considered the 8th wonders of the world

And yes i forgot to say there is a waterfall far behind those mountain ridges.I was not able to get a shot because it was a little far.You have to go down to get nearer view of it.

I love nature, and I feel like me when I'm rounded by threes and mountains and things like that. I really like the nature, the water, the animals, but is really strange that I also like the city, the buildings, the cars, and those people walking in the streets... I don't know why, but I can feel ok in the nature and in the city.

I like nature a lot, trees and mountains, particularly beach but i cant swim. I just like to see the waves and listen to the sound. When Im down its where I usually go and write everything i feel and toss it like message in a bottle.

That is a lovely picture, I love taking photos I even take my camera when I am being driven somewhere in the car, the perfect opportunity to take photos as we drive along or stop at the lights.

Oh that is beautiful, the green is so brilliant and pretty. Thanks for sharing, I too love to take nature pictures except the ones I have been taking lately have been ice covered trees and snow filled lawns..lol Now the snow is almost gone, but it isn't so pretty, the grass is brown and muddy and dull looking,

After the harvest everything turns to brown too so it is best to go there when everything is fresh and green :)
