Hi messarah. Love your pics. Thanks for sharing. BTW, where's the last pic located? What's the name of the mountain? (I'm sort of a hiker and into mountain climbing since we have that near our place)  ;D

Hiking is awesome! But the last pic wasn't really a hiking pic, we went up there via cable-car with the kiddies  :P It was on top of Gunung Mat Chinchang, Langkawi. Here's the info You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login Really breathtaking view.
The mountains I've actually  hiked aren't really challenging, mostly around the 800-900m range. I've tried a more serious climb, but only made it halfway (not really fit  :'( )

Which mountain is near your place?  Must be wonderful to have a mountain nearby, we have to drive quite a bit where I am.

Wow, what a view! I would love to go there even if Im just riding the cable car.

Its Mt. Banahaw. About 2000+ meter in height. We called it the Holy Mountain because every Holy Week (a Catholic Tradition), there are pilgrims who would climb there and pray to God. However, hiking in there was banned. I wouldn't be able to go there until 2016.  :(

Wrath to Butch: That's you. You shall be called the Black Dagger warrior Dhestroyer....
Rhage: But you'll always be Butch to us, as well as hard-ass. Smart-ass. Royal pain in the ass... I think as long as there's an ASS in there, it'll be accurate.
Zhadist: How about bASStard?

^LOL :P

That's an impressive mountain :o And i read a bit about the environmental degradation issue that caused the authorities to close it to hikers, seems like a real shame  :(

Some smaller mountains here have literally disappeared because of erosion and development. There was a very nice waterfall area in my hometown, but when we last went there, it was gone.. destroyed because of a highway project  :'(

 :iagree: And most of those who litters are not locals, they're tourists.  >:( Im angry at them. It sucks that some people are narrow-minded. They don't know that every little actions when combined produce a huge effect.

That saddened me. We have the same problem here - its actually mining that is the culprit.  >:(

I'm from Virginia, USA. :)

I don't really have picures I've taken of where I live.  I'm a hermit lol

Here is a picture of my favorite place as a child, Maymont Park :



I fell in the water there as a child while trying to jump over those stones. Also lost my flip flop into the turtle area.  :D

It's a beautiful place. A 100 acre estate that was donated to the city when the owners passed.

Wow, so many beautiful places! And great pictures you guys  :)


I'm from Serbia, which is a country in Europe. I live in Belgrade, the capital city.

(these aren't my photos....my picture folder is quite a mess, this is a faster way to show you my city)




As for Serbia, it's a beautiful country with great history (and historical buildings, like castles etc.) and lots of nature and great places for hiking. I'm taking a hiking tour this weekend, so I'll be sure to post some pictures.
