Most Beautiful Place?

[Asari]

There are innumerable beautiful places out there! I have seen so many that I can't decide which one is the best.
Since I'm really into cottages and and green is my favourite color I can narrow it down to Irish coasts.

Venezia: magical. mysterious. maze like. with the most heartbreakingly beautiful light. there is no place in the world like it.



Hawai'i: because, well, it's just perfect. the sea, the sunset, the stunning vistas at every turn and the feeling that you've found paradise, that all is well with the world and this is how life should be.



Neither my trips to Venice, nor my time in Hawai'i were with romantic partners...but both places ooze romance.

I'm not sure that the west coast of Ireland is the most beautiful - guess it depends on interpretation of beauty. It's much more rugged and isolated than most.

However, it's certainly the landscape that pulls most on my heart.

Each summer, we'd go to Glencolumbkille, South West Donegal on the Atlantic coast and we'd stay in a traditional cottage less than 100 metres from this beach:




Many happy memories of there. I returned to visit in 2007 (Tmbyfem was with me and fell in love with it for a first time) but, alas, the remoteness means it's not easy for me to get to. Easier for me to travel much further to the US or continental Europe and I haven't been back since ..... but that will change.

Barcelona, Parc Guell


Marrakesh, Le Jardin Majorelle at Yves St.Laurent's house.

Stunning!
I prefer Ireland's West as well. It's so mystical. At those lonesome places I really feel like brought back to a lost time.

Québec City!

It's teeming with history, has cobblestone pedestrian streets, is very walk-able (though be prepared to take on some steep hills!), and the architecture in the historic area near the Château Frontenac makes you feel like you're stepping into the 1600s. 

I love the atmosphere of the town. Lots of little independent local shops and the feeling in December near the holidays when they have all the lights and decorations out is magical. :-)

Go down to the river's edge, lean against the railing, let the gentle snowfall lightly dust your hair, and just try not to fall in love with this place. It just feels warm and cozy but at the same time majestic when you look up and see the Chateau all lit up and looming over everything. 

 

















Plus, while you're there you can splurge on some authentic French-Canadian poutine!

If you are ever in Montréal, be sure to try at least two of the 25 different variations at La Banquise!

Probably somewhere we can lay out on the sand.I also like laying under the stars at night,looking up at the constellation.I think anytime i'm with a lover,just being together can be a beautiful place.
