Nice landscape photo there!
Yeah I know what you mean, natural scenery right outside our own homes is often forgotten, but we sometimes go to crazy lengths to "find" some natural wonders in far, far away places
you know I used to live in Scotland (Aberdeen), and since we moved to the South of France when I was 10, I have yet to go back and visit (as far as the British Isles are concerned, only England gets regular visits, as I have my English family there - due to complex history, I also have an Italian family).
I study in Belgium now and the campus is surrounded by some nice woods that most students tend to forget about, yet around sunset (or sunrise, if you can get up early enough) it's really nice to just have a walk in the forest as all the deer and hares come out - and the lighting, particularly in autumn and spring, is really nice with the sun rays filtering through the leaves and branches, with the occasional presence of fog magnifying the effect and ... simply put, it's great
but yeah just saying that I can perfectly well understand your interest and wonder with regards to natural scenery and wildlife
And I will eventually visit Scotland again! I've some old friends there and I need to take my revenge on... Ben Nevis! (we tried to climb it once but the weather was sooo uncooperative!
)
