While Georgia isn’t known for it’s spectacular scenery like Alaska, Sunset’s can truly be remarkable. This picture was taken nearly by accident. The house isn’t the photographers, but provides a beautiful foreground for the sunset.

Pigeon Point Lighthouse has long been an iconic photography point in San Francisco. The Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park is arguably one of the most beautiful locations in all of the San Franciso Bay. The name comes from a ship, the Carrier Pigeon, that wrecked on the point in 1853. The stunning lighthouse stands 115 feet tall and is right on the coastal highway (State Route 1).

Point Reyes was formerly named Punto de los Reyes by the Spanish explorer Vizcaino in 1603. The peninsula protects Drakes Bay and features lush vegetation. Hiking and ocean kayaking are two of the favorite pastimes of visitors from San Francisco which is 30 miles northwest of Point Reyes Peninsula. As you can see in the picture of Point Reyes, it is a beautiful ocean location.

El Lago Espejo was aptly named for the beautiful mirror like reflection created by the serene surface of this beautiful lake in Neuquén Province, Argentina. As you can see, the reflection created by the stillness exactly mirrors the tree line and mountain peaks.
The snow capped mountains in the distance feed the lake with numerous streams and waterways as the snow begins to melt and make its way down the mountains. As you can imagine this is a very cold lake almost year round.
Another unique feature of Lago Espejo is the fact that as you walk along the calm water you’ll find lava sand, rock walls and Juncus (rushes). The Juncus is unique because it is usually only found in wet marshlands.

Nebraska isn’t only known for the Huskers, they’re also know for beautiful countryside locations like this one.
One of Nebraska largest crops doesn’t grow from a seed, but from a calf. Beef totals about 50% of Nebraska’s total agriculture business.
Farms in Nebraska total almost 94% (45 million acres) of the states total land. It’s no wonder they have college sports named after the Huskers!
