20 Most Surreal Places in America
| The Wave, by Dave Webb |
Weather.com has this
interesting photo essay featuring what it calls the "20 Most
Surreal Places in America."
The essay begins by saying that not
every beautiful place qualifies as "surreal."
Some places, in
the United States, though, really would qualify as surreal, according
to the traditional definition: "marked by the intense irrational
reality of a dream."
These spots on the list are located in
our neighborhood:
8. Horseshoe Bend:
Arizona
9. Bryce
Canyon: Utah
14. Lower Antelope
Canyon: Arizona
18. The
Wave: Arizona
17. Fly Geyser:
Nevada
19. Grand
Prismatic Spring: (Yellowstone)
Wyoming
Here's the rest of their list
1. Dry Tortugas
National Park: Florida
2. Haiku Stairs of
Oahu: Hawaii
3. Watkins Glen
State Park: New York
4. Mendenhall
Glacier Caves: Alaska
5. Oneonta Gorge:
Oregon
6. Whitaker Point:
Arkansas
7. Hamilton Pool:
Texas
10. The City of
Savannah: Georgia
11. Sequoia
National Park: California
12. Thor’s Well:
Oregon
13. Devils Tower:
Wyoming
15. Bonsai Rock,
Lake Tahoe: California
16. Maroon
Bells-Snowmass Wilderness: Colorado
20. Pebble Shore
Lake, Glacier National Park: Montana
Irrational reality is an interesting
concept, subjective and difficult to pin down. All of the spots on
the list are fascinating, in my opinion, but some don't hit me as
surreal. Granted, I haven't been to all of them in person, but I've
been to many. Below I list a few several spots I'd rank with the best
of this list:
Cliff Palace in
Mesa Verde
I could go on...
