Big Sur
Spent a few days in Big Sur country California. A little hiking and a lot of food and wine. There might not be a more impressive place on Earth. It's a crucible of nature. The ocean, the mountains, and the land in between. The vegetation goes from dry and stunted to lush and green.
Most impressive were the redwood groves. Dark and shadowy places where you lose sight of what towers so high above you. The groves transport you in time and make you respect nature in a way most Midwesterners don't understand. We live in a control and confined nature in the Midwest. The land has been scoured and scraped of its true self. I recommend a visit to Big Sur to wake your senses up to the beauty of what surrounds you.
