    In my backyard, seriously! I had the most beautiful trees and lake in my own backyard, it made up the little amount of other wilderness I've seen but I admit going up in the CO Rockies were almost as beautiful!

    Devon is pretty much wilderness, so I'm pretty lucky there.
    Also, rural places just outside kamatori/Sakura in Chiba Prefecture, Japan are very beautiful.
