I was quite amazed by the flight tour I took over the snowy mountains and glaciers in Kluane National Park, Yukon. Absolutely gorgeous!

Being a small-town girl from the coast of Nova Scotia, I had never seen ANYTHING like this before. I loooooved it!

Not difficult to guess mine, it's a tie: birth of son and daughter.

I honestly can't believe how many responses have included the birth of a child. In my opinion that is just disgusting. :eew:

Not if it's your child.

Definitely childbirth. How else is nature going to get you to look after the little blighters for the next eighteen years. Nature is so sneaky. No way would any sane person be exposed to sleep deprivation and showers of human feces unless they were bombed out of their heads on wow-happy neural structures, chemicals and hormones that make it seem like the most profound experience we could imagine. It's very good though and worth it.

Going to see Ray Davies - The Story Teller in the April of 1997. There he was in the flesh, telling stories of his life and his career as a Kinks member. It was amazing. 8)

Probably an endless sky filled with more stars than the naked eye can fathom, but it may well be a woman in a summer dress with the sun setting behind her.

When i first saw my little sister after she was born, i still remember it since i'm 10 years older :o She was so tiny i could carry her with just my two hands without using my arms or anything, and i've seen a lot of wonderful things so far, more then i can name right now, but i picked that one out because she's my little sister xD I don't know it just seems like one of the more wonderful things i've seen :o If that makes sense.

This may seem insignificant to some, but... seeing Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland for the first time in theaters. It was a wonderful bonding experience for me and my mom, plus it was the first Tim Burton movie I had seen in theaters and it was the start of a beautiful obsession. 2 and a half years later, and I'm still in love with it.

I don't know if this is the MOST wonderful thing I've ever seen, but it kept popping into my head and has no other outlet.

Once I was walking along a dried up riverbed and I saw a lone cow. She proceeded to dump a wet, gooey looking calf out of her vagina. It was pretty surprising and amazing.

I felt honored.

Another time, I saw a bunch of rattle snakes in one week--two slept together. A small one and a larger one--though by their rattles they weren't that different in age. I've never seen rattle snakes sleeping together, all curled up around each other.
