What takes you to other places?


    A bowl of quality creamy mushroom soup and fresh buttered bread.
    Standing 10,000 feet above sea level looking over a decending mountain range.
    Seeing the sun rise over a misty field at 6am.
    Watching my sister turn her head and smile at me.



In these moments I stop thinking and could just simply die....

What are your WOW moments?

What takes you away and makes you forget yourself for a moment?

What stops time for you?

Sitting at my favorite place by Saginaw Bay...watching the sunset on the Fourth of July, and sticking around long enough to watch fireworks displays from a few miles away.

It's quite something to watch. Last year I was able to see something like 10 cities/towns fireworks.

It's a very peaceful thing. :-)

Wow. reminds me of standing on the hills above Portsmouth town (Southern England) new years eve 2000 with hundred of others.

The city was lit up below us and the sky suddenly filled with both public and private fireworks.

It was a kind of noisy bright loud type of serenity :o)

I don't get any of the sound from the fireworks. All I hear is the sounds of the crickets ( along with some of the other nocturnal creatures ) and the waves coming to shore.

There is nothing else like it that I have ever found.

Ice.. Lying down on ice is rather cool (no pun)..

The sky above the clouds is so blue and the air is so cold and everything is so clear...

To each their own world.

I love the smell of a warm evenings and jasmin.

I hate sport but if you like cricket I guess that is OK :o)~

I love sports. Unfortunately...Cricket is one of those games that just makes me sit there wondering what the hell is going on....lmao

I have heard about Cricket matches that take days at a time. I find it rather funny because here in America, people complain about baseball games when they take more than two hours.

My problem is that I have t drive over two hours to get to a Detroit Tigers home game, and I really would appreciate the game taking longer to play than it does to drive TO the game. lol

The Indian Arm of the Burrard Inlet on a foggy morning. The mist ghosts down between the trees and hugs the water turning the world into pastels of gray and green. It swallows up all sound so that all you can hear is your own pulse in your ears.
Sends shivers up my spine.
