Rome, NY

Now this IS idyllic.  This lovely view of Oak Creek is seen near John and Mary Ann's house.  People gather  here to swim on hot days.  Photographers gather here to get shots of the moon rising through the V in the rocks.

We learned that Ponderosa Pine trees near Sunset Crater evolved to grow in this corkscrew manner.  It makes them able to bend without breaking and thus able to survive in high winds.

Why do you need to remind people to not jump?  Most bridges don't have a sign like this.  But this bridge over The Colorado River near Lee's Ferry, Arizona is exceptional.  It almost screams at you to try base jumping or  bungee jumping.
