| 56. hallstatt, austria, the Great Pyramids or Lake Tahoe |
|
Edited on Fri Jul-17-09 11:58 AM by dana_b
I couldn't choose one. Yes, one is a quaint yet quiet and serene town on a beautiful lake and Tahoe is part of nature's glorious beauty. But even though I was in a desolate desert, the pyramids made me cry - it had a an overpowering, majestic beauty to me.
