In the middle of town sits a small cemetary. I would guess that the average age of death indicated was around twenty-five. :eek:


Wow, that's surprising low! Is there a reason behind that? is it due to accident?

The Big Sur area of California is incredibly beautiful, idyllic even. I've attached a few pictures from a trip I took last summer.

I think Utah is also underrated in general in terms of natural beauty. Astronuc got it right, Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks are gorgeous. Yellowstone is also astounding in the depth and variety of its natural beauty.

As far as areas outside of the USA mainland go, I haven't been to many places, but Iceland has some really nice and impressive geography.
