rear end struggle posted:The Gaising or Gaiziņkalns, at 1,022 feet (311,94) above sea level, is the highest point in Latvia. It is situated a short distance to the west of the town of Madona, central Vidzeme. Flat places can still be beautiful.  Latvia:     Northern lights are beautiful everywhere so that one might be cheating but I dont care.

cinci zoo sniper posted:isn't that quebec Its close but people from Vancouver are somehow just as racist while also being a unique blend of SV techbro and deep south Republican. I like forests and apparently Latvia is covered in them so Im probably a bit biased in what I think is pretty. Northern lights can be seen as far south as where I live on nights when light pollution isnt bad so its 100% possible for them to be visible in Latvia. That picture was probably taken with a special camera and wasnt quite as visible to people. But still neat. e: Its apparently pretty rare to see the northern lights for you.  At least people there seem pretty dedicated to capturing it when it happenshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja8k9aiDKuA Furnaceface fucked around with this message at 09:26 on Dec 23, 2017 |

Denver will probably cool after somewhere like Alabama legalizes weed. In 2014 the census estimate was that 5000 people A MONTH were moving to Colorado, most of them to Denver. Good loving gravy.

If they gave you a Kokanee they werent being friendly.  Also most of Whistler's population is tourists and transplants from other provinces/countries (whole lot of people from Australia there for some reason).

Good loving gravy. I got stationed in Alaska when I was in the army. Was there for a couple years. I loved it. And yeah that was right around the time I moved there and it was a mess. The job and housing markets were ridiculous. I was getting paid $2 an hour less and rent for a sublet room clear up in Arvada was more than a decent 2 story house back in Illinois. I imagine if you could make enough to live in lodo or capital hill on 40 hours a week, Denver is incredible, but for me it was hard living. Bartending there was probably fun at least tho.

not freak out per se, but it's just a bit disorienting. and the great plains aren't that bad, the one that's really noticeable is out on the gulf where it's all completely at swamp level

australiar posted:i love swamps Wetland is just a general terms isnt it? Bogs, fens, marshes and swamps are all wetlands but have very specific characteristics. Im more of a marsh person. Lots of tiny wildlife live in marshes but its also pretty accessible to large animals.  No trees though, so if you like trees I think that is more of a fen or swamp thing.
