softly, listen to
the sound of the breeze
rustling gently through
the trees, marvel
at a deer high up
on a bank watching
you, see an ocasional
raccoon or otter.
Then when the sun
sets listen to the
call of the owl, supper
over a campfire and
sleep out under the
stars. If there is
such a thing as God's
country this has got
to be close. |

North American wonders reach from from the lofty peaks
of the Cascade Mountain range to the watery paradise of Florida's Everglades.
The South American natural forces can be witnessed in
countless forms--you'll find them cascading over the Devil's Throat of
the Iguazu Falls, flooding Llanos grasslands.
The Australian Great Barrier Reef stretches to Papua
New Guinea, while New Zealand's Tongariro volcano towers above waves of
rugged hills.
The African Congo Basin is a network of swamps and emerald
forests as diverse as the four counterpoints it unifies. The European
and Middle Eastern natural histories include building castles on its rocky
peaks, painting frescoes in its caves, trading through its passes, and
perishing at its mercy.

The dual Asian power of nature is demonstrated through
the elements at play in Asia. Fire-spewing volcanoes raise new lands from
their summits.Ocean-worlds house water-kingdoms. Finally earth-bound and
sky-stretching mountains--figures of inspiration.
The Polar Regions are an icy wilderness where the frozen
fingertips of polar icecaps feel their way across stretches of land and
water, the Arctic and Antarctic form the polar regions of our globe.
