What's your favorite spot on earth...?

[First Speaker]

...mine is the Branford, CT Supply Pond, a park just north of the town with a small lake. A wooded oasis in the midst of modern sprawl. I've loved it since I was a little kid. How about you folks...?

1. Mulberry at 5-0 rapid.

[GWC58]

2. My all time favorite place on the planet is

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Not just for its history but also for its beauty. 👍🏻❤️

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. For me, it would have to be the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris...

It's a 12th century building whose walls are almost entirely stained glass. I was there years ago and am looking forward to another trip!

5. It is a magnificent place.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. It truly is! I remember some of what I saw.

I am going back next spring and am looking forward to it a lot.

[applegrove]

13. I totally missed it when I was in Paris both times. I did happen to walk by Notre Dame

when a concert was going on. We stayed very close to l'ile de la Cite. I can't remember if we didn't know about it or just couldn't find it. Looks beautiful.

[RockRaven]

4. Lands End in San Francisco

specifically the Mile Rock trail and overlook, walking through the cypresss trees, Golden Gate Bridge to your east, Marin Headlands to the north, and choppy, churning Pacific Ocean everywhere else you look.

[sinkingfeeling]

7. County Donegal, Ireland.

[Harker]

10. We were composing our responses simultaneously...

[CountAllVotes]

26. +1,000 !!

Great place and the home of my ancestors!

Got to love Donegal!

[Harker]

8. West coast of Ireland.

I also have a favorite spot on Jupiter.

[SKKY]

11. Anywhere my wife and children are....

...but if we're all in Setenil de las Bodegas, a small town near Ronda, Spain all the better.

[democratisphere]

12. Any of the higher peaks in the Adirondack Mountains of NYS!

[smirkymonkey]

22. I love the Adirondacks as well, especially the lakes.

I grew up in the foothills and skied and summered in the mountain lakes. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, and I have traveled quite a bit.

[democratisphere]

24. Agreed. No place like it!

[randr]

14. Gee thats a hard one

[woofless]

15. Hard to beat this little cabin

in the foothills of the North Cascades 5 miles south of the border. Hope I never have to leave.

[defacto7]

16. Wonderland trail, Mt. Ranier Nat. Park

[catbyte]

17. Scenic overlook, Maalaea Bay, off of Honoapiiliani Hwy, Maui

My late, beloved husband (Happy Birthday, baby--I'll love you forever) and I would spend hours just down the hill from that overlook watching Humpback whale mothers and babies playing in sheltered Maalaea Bay. In the second picture you can see mama teaching baby how to breach. Coming from Michigan in February to spend two weeks in paradise was heaven on earth.

18. Niagra Falls

It's peaceful , powerful and beautiful at the same time.

[Generic Brad]

19. Kauai

And not the tourist spots. Best time I’ve ever had was in Lihue and the state parks around there. I liked it so much I vacationed there three times in a single year. It’s beautiful and I simply feel at home there.

I probably won’t ever get back there since my wife has become excited about exploring Florida and Texas.

[elocs]

20. My favorite spot is sitting in my recliner with my tv in front of me and my computer to the side.

From here I can go anywhere in the world and besides, when I have been other places I always wish I was back home after a short time. For me, there's no place like home.
It's nice that we're all not alike.

[LibDemAlways]

21. Yosemite Valley, in a meadow at sunset,

with a herd of deer silently passing by on their way to drink from the Merced River is at the top of the list.

[zanana1]

23. The woods across the street from my house.

It's a wonderful, quiet, nature-filled spot in the city. There's a ledge where I can sit and watch the city below.

[First Speaker]

25. Sounds lovely...may I ask where it is...?

[zanana1]

34. Manchester, NH

[PJMcK]

27. My bed (n/t)

[lamsmy]

28. Out of Africa waterfall

Seriously. Those waterfalls are in the Aberdares National Park in Kenya. Not far from the top of the falls stand two cosy stone cottages that you can rent. Mountain elephants stroll by, and when the mist rolls in (the park gate is at 3000m so it's always chilly) you can light a fire in the huge fireplace. It's a simple magical world up there.

[duforsure]

29. Yellowstone National Park

Taken there when young and visited with my family many times , and is one the most beautiful places in our many travels around this country.

[Rustynaerduwell]

30. On top of Snowy Mountain in the Adirondacks of New York in the fall.

I've been there alone and with friends. It's a tough climb up and the peak is small and flat, but I've seen bear, deer, hare and lynx at the top. And every time I sat on that summit and an animal came by it was a strangely calming experience, with neither human nor animal scared of the other. Each time it was a shared experience. They'd just look around, glance at me and then just amble on. Magical. Oh, and the views can't be beat.

[we can do it]

31. Glacier National Park.

Glacier National Park. Narrowly edging out North Rim Grand Canyon and our home Rehoboth Beach.

[Iggo]

32. Anywhere I feel like I'm "on Earth."

The desert, the woods, the beach at night. Stuff like that.

Other than that, last night putting my two-year-old nephew to sleep was pretty great.

[MFM008]

33. My local park

Has a view of the narrows bridge .
Just a nice quiet local place
With a view of the sound.
Birds. Bunnies....flowers apple trees.
