Just when you though i died, I come back to you with anothor one of my notorious questions.
What was the most beautiful peice of scenery you have ever sighted?
Personally for me, it was on my way back home from 72.803735, -83.023682. Situated very near the polar ice cap, My contractor has sent me to the Baffin Islands for mineral exploration. It's not pretty there... you work 16 hours a day, days and nights are not 24 hours, its REALLY cold (coming from a guy who lives in northern quebec) and so remote, it is only accessible by helicopter. I have to admit my whole time there, there was not one day I would not rather spend in hell rather than there until the last day there. At dawn, with a sky glazed in stars, it was warm for once (60f). Then out of nowhere, an auroraborealis, I have seen them on tv and in pictures and thought they were phenomenally nice, but seeing one is not the same... its a non stop show of colors you thought never existed dancing so gracefully in a starred sky. There are simply no words that can describe the sight of one of those. I made a good amount of money the time i was there, but if my boss were to offer me an auroraborealis instead of my wage to do this all over again... I would gladly accept.

Niagara falls (where I went on my grade 8 graduation trip. A 4 hour bus ride of everyone playing mario kart on their DS's, watching movies, and paper airplane fights -- the bus ride was fun, xD)
Anyways, once at the falls..they are amazing. Perhaps the most breathtaking view ever. The water falls perfectly over these amazing cliffs, a good 200 feet of water plummeting and rippling loudly at the bottom. it's amazing.
I'm sure it would have been even a more amazing view when you go on the boat and go right by them, but the mist was so bad we all had to close our eyes -- a shame. Later, also in niagara falls, We went over a river about 30 minutes away, in a Spanish Aero Car. When you're in a large tin-like cart structure held up by large bungee-like chords, it's pretty creepy. especially when there's a strong current about, oh, 100 feet below your feet. And it's funnier when you have a CYW who came on the trip and i terrified of heights. But, I have to say. We went to an IMAX theatre to watch a video about the falls. While the video is interesting,IMAX theatres aren't that great. It's just more to look at. Personally I didn't care for it.
ANYWAYS... Here's a picture of the falls. Sadly I couldn't take any -- I had no camera: http://justinsomnia.org/images/niagara-falls-horseshoe-falls.jpg That's the horshoe falls, that is, yes, shaped somewhat like a horseshoe. Pictures really don't give it justice. It's the size that brings it so much beauty
