Must be getting old, because an old vista has been playing on my mind recently. Which got me to thinking about what my favourite or most impressive views have been over my 6 decades.
So I'll keep it fairly brief and go ahead with mine. With an small explanation as to why.
Sydney Harbour first for me. I knew it was going to be something else, and generally when you think that it's not quite as good as you expect. However Sydney Harbour totally blew me away the first time I clapped eyes on it. I never thought a large size city could produce such beauty, with the Icons of Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera house as focal points. Just breathtaking for me. Then the expanse of numerous bays, trees and houses...I think I was shaking when I saw it. It's impossible to find a photo that does it true justice.
Uluru, from a distance of say 5K's is a feast for the eyes, it really does change colour at different times of day. It really does feel spiritual to the point of being pilgrimage like in the way you have to travel to get there. Nothing quite like it anywhere else.
The Walk Over London Bridge, From London Bridge Station to the City. I still close my eyes and see it. Twas part of my routine for almost 10 years. Outside of the rush hour as well. I never took if for granted even at the young age of 16 it impressed me and It's still ingrained in my mind, makes one fully realise they are a Sarf Londoner that walk.
Special mention to the City of Hobart from he Top of Mount Wellington... although there are lots of mountain city views around the world like that. Still it is impressive. The only photo that does any of the above justice is the Mount Wellington/Hobart one.
