From all the health benefits that hiking can bring as well as the sense of serenity the one might feel, two photographers that both enjoy this activity took amazing photos of true beauty that only the great outdoor can offer. Both Arnab Banerjee and Galen Rowell are outdoors men that don’t take it for granted and can bring out the purity of nature. Galen Rowell seem like he was always meant to be a photographer. Rowell was born in Oakland 1940 and grew up in Berkeley, California. He was college professor and a later became a concert cellist. However, since he was young he was interested in the outdoors. He began hiking and climbing various mountains at the age of ten on Sierra Club outings, and by the age of sixteen he made his first…
The national parks that make up the heritage site are all located on the spine of the Bukit Barisan Mountains, known as the Andes of Sumatra. Offering a magnificent panoramic view, the mountainous and untouched national parks contrast remarkably to the cultivated and developed lowlands of Sumatra. The mixed views from the Bukit Barisan mountain chain of the stunning Lake Gunung Tujuh (the highest lake in Southeast Asia), the splendor of the giant volcano Mount Kerinci, and many small volcanic, coastal and glacial lakes in natural forest settings create an environment of spectacular beauty.…
In all my travels, never would I have thought that a hike up Sunrise Mountain would turn out to be so rewarding, but for me, it was the place where I taught my sons to love and respect exercise, prepared our bodies for the everyday physical journey through life, and found solitude in my thoughts.…
They take pictures of the mountain climbers at the top of the mountain. They are smiling, ecstatic, triumphant. They don’t take pictures along the way cause who wants to remember the rest of it? We push ourselves because we have to not because we like it. The relentless climb, the pain and anguish of taking it to the next level – nobody takes pictures of that, nobody wants to remember, we just want to remember the view from the top, the breathtaking moment at the edge of the world. That’s what keeps us climbing and it’s worth the pain, that’s the crazy part. It’s worth anything.…
The rhythmic sound of the chains and excited whoops were the only thing I heard as we went up the hill. The rest of the park was spread out below us, and I could see for miles. As we reached the crest of the hill, Natalie shouted, “Here we go!”…
When it comes the time of Thanksgiving I begin to wonder what I am thankful for. There are billions of things I’m thankful for, but I came up with three very important things. I am thankful for my parents, my dog, and the lake.…
The Scorching sun beamed on my back and neck as we tiredly walked up the sloped concrete. I knew it was going to be a long time before we found the car, and once we did find it, that we were going to be exhausted.…

'A Visit to hill a Station' is an exciting experience. It gives a chance to live in the lap of Nature. In direct touch of Nature we can feel a divine peace and calmness in mind. It makes us feel to be lucky among millions who are over busy in world by affairs. India is a hot country. It is terribly hot during the months of May and June. The northern plains of India are very hot in these months. Hence a trip to some hill station is always tempting. Everybody likes to go somewhere in the lap of Nature to keep himself/herself away from the intense heat of the plains. But those who have money only they go to hills to enjoy their time whole heartedly. The hills not only give relief from heat but are also useful for health. God seems to smile through the beautiful and lovely scenes of Nature. In Northern India there are many hill stations like Nainital, Shimla and Mussourie etc. I had a great desire to visit Shimla. So, I with my friends, made a program to spend summer at Shimla. We reached Shimla in the morning. We went there in the month of June by bus.We made arrangements for our stay in a private house. It was on the top of the hill. The surroundings were very charming. We could see the beauty of Nature and hills; we could also see the lower portion of Shimla from there. We arranged a servant there. He swept the house and prepared tea for us. We had everything for cooking with us. We stayed at Shimla for ten days. We took a guide. After taking breakfast, we used to set out on sight-seeing. We came back at 2 p.m. and took lunch. The servant was a good cook. The pure air and greenery of the hills made us fresh. We had heard that rainy days of Shimla are more enjoyable. Hence we took pleasure of showers when it rained one day or two. It made us feel sensations of deeper joy. We enjoyed getting drenched. We came back, changed our clothes and took coffee. Shimla attracts a number of tourists due to its natural beauty. The Mall Road of Shimla and Jhaku hills are always…

Their satisfaction at hill station depends solely and largely on the hotel industry and service industry. Tourists frequently visit that hill station where they get good hospitability.

Our society in the US today is one that enjoys traditions and celebrations. We are able to see this due to the crazy amount of holidays we have, ranging from important to foolish. Even though the majority of citizens put emphasis on a select few, there are some holidays that should be taken more seriously and maybe some that shouldn’t. Although we have an abundance of holidays/celebrations in this country, I still think there is room for a couple more. I believe that a National family background day and a National swimming day should be two holidays added on to the list. Both of these proposed holidays could and should be extremely imperative to the United States of America.…
