Sometimes it pisses me off how beautiful this planet can be

      I’m very lucky to be able to do some exploring at this point in my life. Your time will come eventually and then it will be my turn to be envious.

    A shitty cell phone pic from Manuel Antonio National Park in Quepos, Costa Rica

    bonus:

    Saw this cool frog, took a picture, showed to this guy, and he was like “oh those are like super poisonous”

      They are poisonous because of their diet. We had them around where I grew up but they were not native and, without their natural diet, they were not poisonous.

      They’re extremely cute as froglets!

    it used to be more beautiful, this is after all the industrialization polluting air and water.

    IIRC in germany 25% of trees are dying, due to one reason or another. You often see trees without any needles/leaves, and if they have, they are often grey-ish. It is rare to see a completely healthy forest, and yet if you do, it gives you a sense of what is the meaning of life. At least that’s how it is to me. Such a connection to nature.

    It really is a beautiful place, damned near miraculous. Too bad there are so many shitheads looking to ruin it for everyone else…

    Edit: added photo tax, let’s keep this going! Granted, not as glamorous as OP’s, but I love my native lands.

    Going for the long one here, but Carpenter Lake near Lillooet looking towards Seton Portage? Final answer for all the Lemmy currency.

      Mars is very pretty, too! It has that austere serenity to it. May be completely biased in thinking this, but every official photo from Mars gives me that distinct feeling of once-alive, almost liminal.

      Heck, every planet is wonderful in its own way, even Venus! There’s something awe-inspiring about the sheer inhospitability of that place. And the surface looks like Silent Hill: The Planet!

      Edit, because this got me started: we live in an absolutely wonderful universe, all in all! Even our relatively backwater region of space is awesome, our solar system kicks ass, even if our Sun is essentially a runt in terms of mass. It’s our runt!

      I can only dream of one day exiting the atmosphere and getting that particular perspective on existence, which is why it saddens me so much to see where space exploration’s heading (edited from the more politically loaded variant).
