Ten Places To Visit
We live in a beautiful and captivating world, and God created this world for us to enjoy and explore. He has made wonders of the world specifically for our senses to indulge In, such as our eyes to behold the beauty of a waterfall and our nose to smell the flowers in a garden.
Traveling to explore the world’s beauty is therapeutic. I hope that more of us will have the opportunity to visit tranquil and serene places, not for social media posts but for the memories and awe of what God has created.
I will write about some exotic and awe-looking places you may want to visit in your lifetime.
Ten Places To Visit
Blue Ridge Mountain: Blue Ridge Mountain is part of the Appalachian mountain range. They extend 550 miles in the Eastern part of the United States, including parts of Georgia, South Carolina, and Noth Carolina—also, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia—lastly, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
What Gives The Mountain Its Distinctive Color?
The beautiful blue color that emits around the mountain is because of an organic compound called Isoprene. When the atmosphere releases hydrocarbon, it creates a distinctive lingering haze that looks blue from a distance. Hence, the gorgeous ‘blue haze’ surrounding the mountains gives it its name Blue Ridge Mountain.
