What is the most spectacular view you've ever seen in your whole life?

[OhioOhioOhio]

I honestly don't know. Possibly a beach in Bali.

Scotland comes up a lot. Next trip I think, whenever that can be.

@Pinkarsedfly is that Sri Lanka? If not I have remarkably similar photos!!

Lake Tekapo , New Zealand . Stunning.

Alps in Bavaria.

I am lucky enough to have seen some absolutely amazing views all over the world, but I think the best one was the view of Yosemite Park from Glacier Point - I cried!

Buenos Aires skyline on NYE- everyone goes up to their rooftops and balconies and lets off fireworks and lanterns, made me cry it was so beautiful. Also a lightning storm out to sea when on a beach in Thailand.

Looking back along the coastal path to Start Point, as you walk towards Lannacombe. I wish I could be there now.

first thought was the grand canyon

Each of my five babies as they were born actually........ although some of the widest oldest trees I have ever seen on the island I used to own in Panama and the volcanic rock formations on it by the shore come pretty close.

The view of Petra, Jordan from the top of the Monastry Walk, worth the climb on a very hot day

Probably the ring of Kerry in Ireland

I've been to lots of places and seen some amazing views but I don't think any of them beat the views I've seen on West coast Scotland

Agree about West of Scotland there are some spectacular white sand beaches because of the Gulf Stream, you could think you were somewhere really exotic.

The views from the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.

I love a beach but the one view where I literally gasped was from the top of Heavenly ski mountain looking down on Lake Tahoe. The sun was shining and both sky and lake were brilliant blue with snow-capped mountains across the water. The resort was not as developed as it is now.

Sunset on the Zambezi
Flying in a teeny plane over the Kruger
Sitting in a boat in the caldera of Santorini
The northumberland coast
So so many - we should take better care of our world.

Yosemite or Skye

I have two that immediately spring to mind:

-camping under the stars in Monument Valley, there was no light pollution so we had an excellent view of the Milky Way and many shooting stars

-flying over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter

1. Sun rise over Surfers Paradise beach

1. Sunset at Rosses Point

1. Lights of Manhattan in the winter

Arriving into Venice via the water taxi, could feel myself gasping. New York skyline.

I think the London skyline is fantastic & some of the views from our bridges are the best in the world imo.

Agrwed. I adore the views going north on Waterloo Bridge.

I live just south of London now and there's a point on a walk we do where you round a bend and suddenly the whole of London is spread before you from the Wembley Arch in the West all the way to Canary Wharf in the East. It always give a buzz to see that view.

Angkor Wat at Sunrise
Halong Bay
From the top of Grouse Mountain, Vancouver
Seeing the Milky way from my Yurt in Big Sur
Looking out over the Nile from a hotel swimming pool in Luxor (sadly cannot remember the name of the hotel)
Looking out across an inlet from a hot tub at a b n b near Sechelt in Canada
Watching for the Green Flash in Key West
The cathedral as the train pulls in to Durham station, in fact a lot of the route on the east coast mainline as you head north from Durham is beautiful

I've not travelled extensively, but I've been extraordinarily privileged to travel as I have. Probably never really appreciated it as much as I should have til now. Lovely thread.

Rounding a corner on the train from Zurich to Interlaken. First time I ever experienced a "breathtaking" view.

Other than that, the lakes and mountains in the Canadian Rockies. My most favourite place in the world and one of the most beautiful.

Stepping onto the roof terrace in Athens to see, not far away, the Acropolis bathed in pink and golden early morning sunlight.

Applecross Peninsula ❤️
