So with all my free time I have had some time to think about what I would like to see in my lifesome day. This is part one of two. Part one will be what i would like to experience, and Part 2 will be what i would like to see. (see is the reference to not visual) So here we go.
1) One of these days i would like to see the Northern Lights. While in Norway and Sweden i was hoping to see this marvel but to no adoo it was raining and cloudy about 99% of the time. If there is one thing that amazes me more than anything it is outer space and all her secrets. One day i hope to return to the North to see one of the greatest light shows on earth.
2) Shuttle Launch; Hopefully in the next year I can make my way down to Florida to witness one its final launches. Every person has there calling of something they believe they must see, the shuttle is mine. I consider this one of mans finest engineering endevers. A million parts are moving at once, some of the smartest computers are firing off millions of impulses to all sorts of components and at the same time men are defying gravity, the one constant trying to keep humans on the ground.
3) Alaska; this i consider to be one of the finaly pieces of America to be untouched and left to the way mother nature had intended. No malls, parking lots, and freaking walled in neighborhoods. Just the good old pines, wildlife, and free flowing rivers. If you have ever seen the stars in the woods on a clear night, you would realize why this place might be a special place.
4)Halley's Comet: I missed it the last time it came around earth...mainly cause it passed by 2 years before i was born but thats NO EXCUSE! I just hope that this is something i can hopefully see before i pass away because i would like to have seen an object that people have seen since 240 BC.
5) Fjords of Norway: I got close to seeing these, but it was too far and too expensive. These are valleys cut into parts of Norway by glaciers of phenomenal size. Whole valleys with enormous rivers exist now where the glaciers pushed rock/dirt out of the way over thousands of years. I saw pictures...green..flowers..and pure beauty.
6) Great Barrier Reef: I would like to see this oceanantic marvel that has somehow escaped mans endevour to destroy everything not developed by him. It is slowly being affected by human interference, but hopefully it will survive so our children and then theirs will have the ability to enjoy such marvels as I.
go to alaska then maybe you'll see the northern lights. 2 birds with 1 stone :]
