Washington, D.C.

Washington, the capital city of the United States, has a bunch of very interesting things. I have been here before, but didn't get to see everything I wanted to see. I'd definitely be interested in coming here again to see a lot more.

Haleakala

The view from Haleakala is reported to be stunning.

New River Gorge

West Virginia's New River Gorge looks beautiful. The impressive New River Gorge Bridge would likely be one of the main attractions here for me.

Charleston

Charleston, West Virginia, includes its state's capitol building, which is located by a river and below the mountains, which likely makes for a great picture.

Mount Katahdin

Mount Katahdin is one of the endpoints of the Appalachian Trail, and the views from here are probably great.

Indianapolis Monument Circle

Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis seems like a nice place to see. Inside the circle is a monument, and surrounding the circle are some buildings, some of which look tall and cool in my opinion.

Lookout Mountain

Lookout Mountain overlooks Chattanooga, and it seems to be rumored that one can see seven U.S. states from here.

Stone Mountain

Stone Mountain is a huge sculpture/carving/art work thing in Georgia that seems to be pretty famous. The rock itself looks pretty interesting, and it appears to be enormous. The art depicts Confederate figures or something, I think, but it's mainly the fame and the scale that are interesting I think. And perhaps the ride to the top that I think exists.

Biltmore Estate

Biltmore Estate is one of the largest homes in the United States. The grounds and the mansion itself look like a beautiful location.

KVLY-TV Tower

The KVLY-TV Tower near Blanchard, North Dakota, at the moment is recorded as the United States's tallest manmade structure. For a while, I think it was the world's tallest manmade structure, until the Burj Khalifa was built.

Mount Saint Helens

Mount Saint Helens was the location of one of the largest observed volcanic eruptions in recent history. It also seems huge, and among some beautiful landscape.

Mitchell Corn Palace

Mitchell, South Dakota, probably gets most of its fame from its "Corn Palace". Why not.

Chimney Rock

Chimney Rock is a famous tall rock formation or something like that in Nebraska. Considering how flat this area is, it might be a neat thing to see.

Geographic Center of the Contiguous United States

Near or in Lebanon, Kansas, there's this odd little area with a monument near the geographic center point of the conterminous United States, I think. It's probably not in the exact spot, but it's kinda interesting. There once was a chapel here that I think was the very one featured on the Kansas flag.

Spoonbridge and Cherry

One day on that Google Maps April 1st thing that looked like a video game, I found out about this sculpture called "Spoonbridge and Cherry", in Minneapolis. It was interesting enough, I think, to include on this blog.

Republic of Molossia

The "Republic of Molossia" is an area that a resident of Dayton, Nevada, claims as its own nation. According to its website, it seems that he's added a customs station, a monument, a memorial, a railroad, and a park. It looks like he calls his house the "Government House", and seems to have put up a boundary marker. A tour from the "President" could be fun.

Rachel

Rachel, Nevada, is near one of the top subjects of conspiracy theories and reported extraterrestrial activity (I think), a restricted area known as Area 51. I'm guessing that some businesses in Rachel have capitalized on this, and one might meet some interesting folks here too. It could be amusing, and a visit here could also be included on a journey through the sparse mountainous area of Nevada desert.

Glen Canyon

The colors of Glen Canyon look quite unique, and there are also a bridge and a famous dam in the area that could make for a neat sight.

Roswell

Roswell, New Mexico, seems to have one of the stranger reasons for tourism: a reported nearby extraterrestrial UFO crash or something in 1947, I think. Imaginably, some businesses play along, such as the local McDonald's, Walmart, and a UFO Museum. It could be amusing.

Badwater Basin

Badwater Basin, if I remember correctly, is the lowest point in the United States, located in California's Death Valley. This, as well as the interesting scene with mountains along the horizon and a bright salty-looking surface stretching for miles, could make an interesting stop.

Capulin Volcano

New Mexico's Capulin Volcano seems oddly placed, but still seems interesting, since for some reason (I assume) it's a National Monument of the U.S. National Park Service.

Babylon

Visiting the site of ancient Babylon might be a very interesting and eerie experience. It appears to play a very large role specifically in Biblical events, and in general history as well.

Persepolis

Persepolis seems to be one of the most influential cities of ancient history.

Coyote Buttes

In the Coyote Buttes, which I think are located in both Arizona and Utah, there is a feature called "The Wave" that looks fantastically beautiful. Here, it appears that there are grooves or waves going through the sandstone slopes of the Buttes in a spectacular fashion.

Hamilton Pool

In Texas, there's an interesting body of water called the Hamilton Pool. The photos seem to be exaggerative, so I'm not sure how impressive this place may actually be, but it seems that the outside shore of the lake is located in a Pantheon-like natural structure, with a magnificent round window of rock above. And of course, there's  a waterfall here too I think, which seems to be described as cool.

Wulingyuan

The Wulingyuan area of China includes some amazing scenery, including the Tianzi Mountains that look more like pillars than mountains. The beauty of this area looks promising as an incredible destination.

Twelve Apostles

Don't why these things are called the Twelve Apostles, but they do seem quite neat. In the Australian state of Victoria, in the Indian (or is it the Pacific) Ocean... maybe the Great Australian Bight... these rock formations off the coast appear to be some very tall islands. Seen from the rim of the "mainland", or from the beach at the bottom, they're probably one of the natural treasures of Australia.

Borobudur

Borobudur is a Buddhist temple or monument or something in Indonesia, which itself is kinda creepy, but the structure looks kinda impressive. I'm partly including this since I don't have very much in Indonesia on this blog at the moment.

Meteora

Meteora is an area of Greece with large and tall interesting rock formations, known as a monastery location. It looks quite a spectacle, possibly a wonder of Europe.

Nuuk

Nuuk is the capital of Greenland, and probably the largest city/town in Greenland as well. Most Greenland towns look very cute and nice, with their colorful buildings and beautiful scenery, and Nuuk seems to have that as well as more advanced elements characteristic of a capital city, like a stadium, a university, and such.

Tasermiut Fjord

The mountains around the Tasermiut Fjord in southern Greenland look quite impressive for their height and their vertical slopes. Beneath, there appears to be a valley of green, and combined, the landscape looks fantastical.

Faroe Islands

I tried to make this entry more specific, but I found a bunch of beautiful scenes from the Faroe Islands. The cliffs look amazing, the towns (Klaksvik, Torshavn, etc.) look charming, and both of those elements seem to work together in fairly all right harmony. The whole place seems worth the travel.

Catatumbo

Around the area where the Catatumbo River enters Lake Maracaibo, a strange natural phenomenon is reported to happen. A spectacular lightning show, with perhaps 30 strikes a minute, happens most every night, if these reports can be believed.

Saint Pierre and Miquelon

Saint Pierre and Miquelon, for some strange reason, belongs to France. It's mainly comprised of two islands, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, that are off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The French influence here, in this small-looking place, could be a neat cultural observation. The island of Miquelon looks cartographically lovely because of its thin isthmus, and it seems to have rolling hills that could possibly be great for roaming around.

Tromelin Island

Tromelin Island is a tiny, probably unpoopulated, island in the Indian Ocean that belongs to France. There are quite a few of these kind of islands in the world, but this one just looks unique for some reason. Its sand seems quite prevalent on the island, and there doesn't seem to be much vegetation here compared to other small islands. Also interesting is the lone airstrip. Weird.

Pointe des Châteaux

Guadeloupe's main island's easternmost point seems to have an interesting rocky peninsula at the very end. It reminds me of the Cadillac Ranch in Texas, but this is obviously more... natural. A beach view of this and a mountain view of this could both be promising.

Bora Bora

Bora Bora is a world-famous (or maybe United States-famous) island in French Polynesia. It's likely very touristy, but the natural scenery here looks amazing. The clear water, the various vivid colors, and the impressive peaks like the amazing Mount Otemanu, all easily make my list of things to see.

Mangareva

Mangareva is a pretty island in French Polynesia's Gambier Islands. Its peaks like Mount Duff look like a nice place to climb and see the view below from. The villages look charming as well.

Guiana Space Center

The Spaceport in French Guiana is an interesting destination to me mainly because of its location. It's in France, but it's in that odd part of France that's in South America. Interesting that the European Space Agency uses a South America launch site.

Possession Island

Possession Island has some amazing scenes. The mountains and coastline look beautiful, and seeing this island from the top of the shoreline cliffs of nearby East Island would likely be a great sight. It appears to also be a good spot to see a huge bunch of penguins, maybe if the time is right, since it's closer to Antarctica than other places.

Saint Helena

The island of Saint Helena looks like a beautiful island, and one with an interesting history. I'd say it seems like a great place to tour. Jamestown has a tall staircase (I think) nicknamed (maybe) "Jacob's Ladder". Napoleon had an interesting history there, I think. There's a gorgeous waterfall landscape, and nice mountainous terrain. Worth a visit, I think.

Plymouth

Plymouth was a community that was very visibly affected by a volcano flow recently. Now, it's probably one of the rare sights in the world: a Caribbean island town that looks like a post-apocalyptic scene. Probably an interesting place to visit.
