The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy

is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet,

alone with the heavens, nature and God.

Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

In the quiet embrace of Walchensee's ethereal beauty, where mossy whispers and mushroom dreams dance at nature's edge. A symphony of serenity unfolds, as mountains and lake weave tales of time, the heart finds solace in this Bavarian dreamscape.

Cannon Beach, Oregon

Ecola State Park to Indian Beach Trail is a 4.3 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Seaside, Oregon that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and bird watching and is accessible year-round.

Stop for a picnic before taking to the many miles of trails. Visit INDIAN BEACH, a secluded sandy beach, popular with surfers and beach goers, offering tide pools and scenic splendor. Keep a watchful eye open for the park’s wildlife, such as deer, elk or eagles soaring overhead. You may even spot migrating gray whales throughout winter and spring.

Already the housewife hands on the hips as the groom keeps her waiting ;-)

If you squint you can see the Hearst Castle high on the mountain above.

Plenty of couples posing in the park before and after tying the knot/noose....

Just outside of Escalante UT on the road to Boulder UT, Highway 12.

Highway 12 is insane. You could totally crash your car gawking at the amazing scenery.

Thornwick Bay derives it's name from "Thor" the God of Thunder because of the roar of the breaking waves on the rocks during a North Easterly gale which pounds the magnificent cliffs. In the winter when the winds are strong and the weather is bad, when the waves hit the rocks, foam and spray blows up the cliff, but thankfully most people come to visit in the Spring, Summer and Autumn months when the weather is much calmer, and people can sit on the cliff top and admire the fantastic scenery and watch the sun reflect off the brilliant white chalk cliffs which have been cleaned by the winter storms over thousands of years.
