I see over here in Wisconsin there are moutains. But in actuality they are very large hills.

what qualifies an elevation as a hill or a mountain - whatcha think?
height? mass? shape? style? charisma?

I would have to say it's up to the individual and how it is seen by them. :D

I’m enjoying all the photos of all the places ... but have to admit my favorites, for personal reasons, are all the BC photos because BC is where we honeymooned, as well as celebrated a couple different anniversaries, so far. It’s our second favorite destination (behind Kauai Hawaii) and if we could retire somewhere in BC, not necessarily Vancouver …. Oh ~ Heaven! (that’s one of my dreams ....)

Panta, your pictures are beautiful -- it looks EXACTLY like Vail, Colorado. I was there for a couple days in November.

Zlatko, your pictures of the beach are making me a little homesick. I love the open prairie and the big mountains here, but where I live now it's so UGLY and DEPRESSING. Denver is NOT a pretty city. Maybe it used to be, I don't know, but it's not now. I am missing Pt Mugu and Ventura Beach and Leo Carrillo. Thank you for posting them, anyways.

Glorious, I loved your pics of British Columbia. It looks beautiful there. I want barns and farmland and wild places (groan!). Get me OUT of this place!
