Recommended Posts

Nice thread!

 

One of mine is at Heavenly Mountain in the NC mountains where I worked this summer.

 

There was a swimming hole nearby called the "Blue Hole", it was gorgeous. Water was cold but man it felt good! You could get a great kidney massage from the waterfall ;)

If I were to be a hermit anywhere, it'd probably be New Zealand..

 

Really hope if 2012 is true it's left untouched haha.

I hear New Zealand is gorgeous, and great for hermits. :D

I get the feeling that I've seen this before. Seems familiar.

edit- I don't see any fireplaces, so I'm thinking the Carolinas or Georgia perhaps?

A childhood memory... I used to play on the rocks in this picture. Definitely a favorite spot.

Black Mountain, NC. Taken at Lake Tomahawk, looking East towards the Seven Sisters (you can count them in the second shot).

High Force waterfall. County Durham, England.

Stunning and majestic and only an hour's drive away for me.

The high desert of the mountain west, with the mountains, rivers and canyons.

Finding spots where nobody has been, for a while at least.

 

But especially red rocks, and big rocks....nourish the soul

 

 

 

How do you insert a picture here? Do you have to use the url link thing? so put your pic on a webpage first?

 

edit: the avatar pic is a view of the back side (west side)of the Maroon Bells

Rocks:

Torro Crag.

This rock is called Sirius Crag (also called The Lion) because it points directly at the Sirius star, where the oldest souls on Earth originally came from.

Belukha.

Emeishan. One Thousand Buddha Summit. Mt Emei favourite dwelling place for Daoist herbalists and Buddhist & Daoist sanctuary. One of the birthplaces of my art, Bagua.

 

 

Back home:

One of my favourite mountain-valley areas.

Meditating near a big wall.

 

 

Forests:

 

Back home again.

 

oza0.jpg

 

Oza.

 

 

alcornocales.jpg

 

The little known Natural Park of Alcornocales. Best preserved European forest. It still has the feeling what the continent was in the Middle Ages, when I last visited that place back in 1997.

 

Ocean & Beach:

 

Back home.

 

playadelosmuertos.jpg

 

playadelosmuertos2.jpg

 

Little known area almost uninhabited. Beach of the Dead so they call it.

Gerard,

 

Thank you for sharing all of these pictures! I often forget how amazing the Earth is. I should really move somewhere nice. :lol:

Yes, Emeishan is a very special place. No wonder why many decide to abandon the ordinary world and become adepts after visiting the mountain. Especially if you come across "cute things" along the mountain tracks:

When I said home I meant the country where I grew up. That is Spain.

 

Will relocate to either Taiwan or mainland China after I finish my Bagua training here in Australia.

 

Scotty, Gaia is an amazing place especially the closer we get to places where Qi is good and with harmonious Feng Shui.
