Driving down the Franconia Notch Parkway, the mountain walls rise up around me and consume me. On one side, the guardrail separates me from the cars speeding past in the opposite direction. On the other side, nothing is separating me from the slopes. My eyes slowly follow the smooth curvature of the faces of the mountains. Wind, rain, snow, and ice have shaped the rock in such a way that the rock looks like silk sheets. As my eyes take in more, they come across the sharp jagged edges and ridges where rocks have recently fallen and taken parts of the mountain as their casualties. The sun peeks from behind the summit and causes the great mountains to cast shadows on their smaller counterparts. Crimson, goldenrod, bronze, and saffron leaves dance across the air as the cool gusts of wind blow them along. Soon the trees will become bare and blend with the barren slopes above the treeline, but for now the contrast between the two is unmistakably noticeable. …show more content…
Reflections of the foliage are visible in the lake on my left, and behind that chairlifts can be seen waiting for the first snow to fall to begin their busy work of the winter. Small houses begin to appear, as well as family-owned ski shops, quaint motels, and Munroe’s Family Restaurant as I travel further down the road. Lining the sides of the road are hundreds of evergreens and maple trees, leading me towards the mountains in the distance. The mountains are topped with white fluffy clouds, that in a few months will be showering the pinnacles with
The Great Smoky Mountains are one of a kind mountains. I was on the top of one of mountains; the view was breathtaking and was an amazing to see. I relate to Dellarobia’s awe from the mountains and countryside. Appalachia is a mainly rural area, with distinct people and landforms. There is diversity in this area. In some places, technology thrives. In others however, are lacking up to date technology. From one perspective, this is understandable. Every town is different and may not have every object the next town has. These places are isolated from industrial cities; many jobs in this area include farming, coal mining, and lumbering. However, looking at this from another angle, this is unfair to the areas without up to date technology. These areas could be in poverty and may not be able to afford everything new. This novel gives us an example of this with the Turnbow family and their
To minimalize the linearity of the project heavier and more visually dominant elements were discarded. Thus the presence of the trail is not always constant and it blends in with the surroundings. The bridges and the elevated walkways meander through a cool microclimate created by a field of fallen rocks lying next to an escarpment wall.
As we neared Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming, we beheld the majesty of the mountains with snow interspersed between jagged protrusions of rock . We pulled into our camping spot about a half hour later, with an assortment of spectacular pictures with gorgeous mountain backgrounds. I sprung out of the car to observe our beautiful campsite.
In the summer of 2015 I took an emergency trip to Mexico, little did I know i’d witness some beautiful jaw dropping landscapes. As I witness my first stop of many I embraced the wonderful sight of Montana Dulce as they called it. Breathtaking red ,orange, yellow and white flowers took over the beginning 2 miles with the fresh scent and nothing but green itchy grass filled the scenery. The sun warming and not blinding but just shiny just enough to not have to squint as we progresses the steep hill. As we progressed it began getting a little rugged. An abundant amount of hard big and small rocks began to take over the steep hill. One more mile on the narrow trails lead to wide paths onces again and moist grass soon took over the scenery. Drizzles
The storm had passed. Norval Gilmer careened the air cab to skim along the craggy mountain range past the Terra borough’s greenhouses in the south. Since he studied geology at Gnaritus University, he enthusiastically drew Surina’s attention to the unusual topography in the picturesque hinterland on the way to Algonquin Beach. Through the sunroof of the air cab, she glimpsed the congregation of the three suns, Spes’ rings, Fiducia, and Clementia in the endless turquoise sky. Suddenly, as they moved further south, the jaw-dropping view of the rainbow mountain materialized with its dazzling stripes of gold, black, green, orange, red, blue, and purple. Moreover, a soft alpenglow shrouded the snowy peaks.
The naked and fuzzy trees divide the sidewalk and the roadway. A multitude of spots are dotting them. A multitude of spots and cubes dotting the sidewalks and the roadway, they are people and horse carriages. The vertical view is executed by snow. Roofs of horse carriages, branches, asphalt covered with a light touch of white. Passersby walk in a halo of bluish species which reinforces this idea of cold.
Glancing up toward the light, blue, cloudy sky, the great, tall, and humongous Mt. Rainer towers above everything around its area. The snow peaked top gives this marvelous mountain a sensational feeling when you stare at it with a wide open jaw as the sharp crest gleams in the sunshine. When the snow melts, the water flows swiftly into a set of rivers. All around it thousands of trees stretch around the vicinity for miles. Two cheerful, cute birds fly around in joyous excitement since the flowers slowly bloom open as it’s becoming spring soon. As the soft wind blows gracefully, grass with little droplets of dew wave around delicately. A few feet away a large spider’s web is covered with water droplets and sparkles brightly just like a diamond.
In a thousand spots the traces of the winter avalanche may be perceived, where trees lie broken and strewed on the ground; some entirely destroyed, others bent, leaning upon the rocks of the mountain or transversely upon other trees. The path, as you ascend higher, is intersected by ravines of the
There are trees as far as I can see, the air smells crisp with a hint of dead leaves that have fallen from their tree for the year. The sun is disappearing farther from the sky and I can feel the cold settling into my bones. The whispers of the leaves the crackling of the twigs coming from the rummaging squirrels and chipmunks collecting food for the winter, causing Beau to dart his head from one place to the next scanning the area for
There were fields filled with bountiful flowers and yellows as bright as the sun at midday. A murder of black birds lay on the horizon of the small field, sitting on a rickety fence as if it was their only home. The middle of the field was a lush green that seemed to radiate and sunlight and brightness throughout.
These vast structures form a striking craggy and alpine scenery that carries on for miles upon miles, further than the eye can see. Their soaring altitudes make one seem like a microscopic and insignificant atom in comparison. Their imperfect texture and surreal span suggest a brimming and diverse wildlife. The sounds of animals calling out into the distance creates a harmonious symphony, a beautiful melody that is impossible to replicate. The distant cries of animals seem to be directly addressing you, as if pleading to be heard by a single
As winter continues, Haskell examines the newly fallen snow during the early moments of sunrise. While most people find beauty in the large blanket of snow that
Payson's landscape is an ever changing experience of seasons, but my favorite has always been that first snow fall of the year. The way the snow trickles down from the foggy sky and lands on the towering birch trees, is like a scene from a movie. Little chirps eco through the canyon as the birds prepare their homes for a long-awaited winter. We sat and watched as the pine trees quietly gathered the flakes that snuck through the arms of the birch trees. The brisk powder like snow continued to pile up and slowly started to fill in our foot prints, erasing any sign that we were ever there. A few more steps on the trail lead us to one of our most memorable spots. Peering over the edge of the cliff is always a bewildering sight. The vast open valley below was covered in a blanket of milky white snow, and the sweet smelling, cool air was as refreshing as a tall glass of ice water during a smoldering desert summer night. In the distance the sound of the powerful water fall below breaking over the ice sickle reddened boulders is one that is truly breathtaking.
The little mountain village is surrounded by a vibrant forest with a variety of trees and animals. In the spring and summer months, it is green and active with wild life. In the winter, the village and the forest are covered with snow.
When the sun slowly peeps over the range of mountains, birds shake the morning dew off their feathers and give a cheerful song that would lift even the most sorrowful of spirits. A light fog wraps around the mountain range, reaching to touch every bit of life thriving there. The slight chill in the air is enough to give a gentle shiver, but not enough for the need of a jacket. A breeze tickles the trees, making their leaves shake and sway with laughter. Sunlight seeps in past the thick canopy of branches with hopes of being able to reach the damp mountain earth. The mountains are the best place to live to be relaxed, see the most beauty, and never get bored.
