Not sure where you are in Europe but the Continent has its fair share of spectacular scenery. With that said, I feel lucky to live in Boulder, where that view is in my backyard.
That’s a perspective on Thoreau that I hadn’t heard before. Thanks for that! I do choose to believe that nature can be appreciated anywhere you are. We need to find ways to weave it into our modern lives wherever possible or else we’ll all go crazy staying inside and staring at screens!
My European mind can't even comprehend scenery like in the top photo. The wilderness American's have really is something special in my view.

I’ve been spoiled with where I live but am trying to work in this attitude that wildness can be anywhere.
I love this line from Gary Snyder: “Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.”
