What place are you drawn to ?

Asked by Ghost_in_the_system (2035points) December 15th, 2009

I like a particular museum; can’t get enough. Where is that one place that you have been to that you always wish to go back to? No matter how many times you see it, it is never enough?

The mountains of home. I have to go once a year or I start to go a little insane.

The south shore of Lake Superior. I want my ashes scattered there when I die.

Oh, another case where the details of the question completely change my response. I was going to say “second” to answer the “Subject” question. I’ll have to think about the rest of my response.

The Adler Planetarium. During the summer I bike over during lunch just to sleep on the lawn between it and Lake Michigan. Magical place.

A little park within walking distance. It has a small man made lake there which is surrounded by weeping willows. You’ll find a ton of ducks there and a lone Blue Heron. Gorgeous and so peaceful.

My S/O, the mountains, ocean, forest, out in nature. The gym though I haven’t been for a while I always go back. The Chicago Art Institute, any good Museum. The Zoo, Aquarium, anyplace that has a large telescope pointed at the sky.

forestGeek's avatar

@mcbealer – I’m very drawn to AK as well. It’s likely that when you finally go, it’s more beautiful than you imagined it…at least it was for me.

Ireland Ive always wanted to go and visit to see the castles and green rolling hills

mcbealer's avatar

@forestGeek ~ it’s likely that if I ever get to visit AK I may not come back to the mainland, ha ha.

There’s a museum in London, (I forget which borough, but I’m thinking it’s a western one), where it’s a series of rooms designed in different styles from different historical periods, from medieval days to the present. I haven’t been there in years, because I haven’t been to London in a long time, and I think about that place a lot.

I am always drawn to the lakes and mountains of the South Island in New Zealand, especially Queenstown, Wanaka, Arrowtown, Te Anau and Milford Sound. They remind me of my childhood as my family and I used to holiday there. They are beautiful in the winter with the cold winds and white peaks on the mountains and in the summer with the scorching sun and beautiful flowers. But the really special time is Autumn. The multitude of flora colours are mindbending. I can almost smell the places as I write this.

janbb's avatar

@Theby – I was there three years ago. It is beautiful!

Water. Rivers, lakes oceans, streams.

It’s pretty easy to see how drunk I was when I made that last posting Also our ancestral homestead overlooking the Connecticut River in western NH. It’s been in my family since 1785. I’ll be buried there.
