Feeling a bit stressed out these days? (The Beagle Channel Argentina).

Who isn’t? (Banff National Park Canada),

Let’s escape (Coastal Norway),

to peaceful places (Vancouver Island Canada),

and forget our worries (Zermatt Switzerland),

for awhile (Huahine French Polynesia).

I will do another peaceful images post after this (Yellowstone National Park),

because we all benefit from balancing negativity with peace and beauty (Grand Teton National Park).
Cheers to you and remember the beauty~

And boy, do we need this!! Thanks.
You are very welcome and we certainly do deserve some peace and beauty. Stay safe and well Laura დ
The “Matterhorn” made me sigh a bit. What a deadly beauty. Great pictures -as always! Happy Holidays my friend.
Yes. She can be a savage beauty. Happy Holidays to you and stay safe and well დ
Indeed. A climbers dream or nightmare. 🙂
Yes, and avalanche threats in the winter დ
Not if you just have an ice cream with it in the background!
Not sure I understand/
Especially in the summer დ
Stunning photos, Cindy. I will bring the images with me into my dreams 🙂
Wonderful! It is immensely helpful for our psyches დ
Love traveling on your magic carpet, Cindy!! Hugs!
We have the best times together Rebecca! დ დ
B e a u t i f u l ! ! ! !
Grazie mille დ
Let your wonderful landscapes from around the world remind us of what we are fighting for.
Amen & thank you დ
A delight of photos with the variety of landscapes to continue daydreaming. Nature offers us incredible places that you have wonderfully captured
Good weekend
Manuel Angel
Thank you Manuel. Much appreciated. My grandparents last name was Angell დ
Then I make you remember it. I am very lucky
Beautiful, I’ll like to escape to French Polynesia about now!
hugs, Linda
Let’s beam over now!!! დ
Thanks for that trip around the world. If I have a favourite, it would be the Coastal Norway. ♥
These landscapes came as a delightful surprise this morning: it is good to know there is a wider world waiting to be explored!
I am so happy you enjoyed Anne and thankfully there is so much beauty left for us to explore დ
Thanks for taking me all around d the world with your beautiful photos! Much needed!
It was a joy to travel with you & thank you my friend დ
Where on Vancouver Island is that picture taken? What a beautiful collection of photos!
Thank you my friend. Here is the link to the post about the marina: https://cindyknoke.com/author/cindyknoke/page/26/ It was a trailhead to a hike through the ferns to the beach. I will confer with my husband when he returns from hiking as he may well remember the name of the trail.
I can’t get it from the link, but I’m guessing it might have been near Victoria.
Further north, somewhere between Port McNeil and Port Hardy. We always start in wonderful Victoria and drive until the road stops. We stayed on this trip just south of Port McNeil, but we did go west from there too….Sorry wish I could do better.
That’s great, Cindy. I know that area. Great fly fishing. Thanks a lot.
These photos are stunning! I love as married in Banff, so it is a special place, apart from its beauty.
What a perfect place to marry. Banff is so beautiful. Cheers to you my friend & thank you დ
An elegant eight-pack of ecstatic escapes.
Now that is an awesomely astounding alliteration! Thank you & cheers დ
What a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you for traveling with me virtually my friend & cheers to you დ
Awesome pictures! Thanks. Nice to see pictures from two of my home areas. I lived near Banff National Park, Alberta and Vancouver Island, BC. Have great weekend.
Thank you very much Darlene. You are so lucky to have lived in such beautiful places. Cheers to you my friend დ
I was indeed lucky to live near both places. Cheers back! Have a great week ahead.

Wonderful & you are most welcome. Planning trips is excellent for your mental health დ
Lovely shots.
Thank you dear friend. Stay safe & well დ
Fantastic escapes, soiled for choice. When I am retired, and it is ok to travel, they are all on my list to visit! Thank you for such wonderful pictures! Have a lovely 3rd Advent!
Happy Advent to you dear friend. I so look forward to traveling virtually with you when you retire. We live in a small and beautiful world დ

Reblogged this on Musings on Life & Experience and commented:
Pictures of landscapes we might want to escape to taken by Cindy Knokes.
Thank you for escaping with me Patricia. You make the experience better დ
Amazing landscape, so beautiful! Wow!!
Thank you and very happy you enjoyed დ
Thanks for providing one more way to relieve the stress. We all must cope with it. And find the best way that helps. I think coping is very individual. One size doesn’t fit all. Maybe we only need a good cry or something to laugh about. Or maybe 365 differt ways each year.
However we cope we must be careful not to add to the stress of others.
Your blog has always gives us a sense of well being. Takes us to places we may never visit….but feel we really have been there.
Hopefully we will get over the current stressful time soon.
(See I’m coping by writing …. 😉 )
You are indeed coping by writing & thinking productively, and it is encouraging to read. Thank you my friend. Stay safe & well დ
Thank you Cindy! “Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Man…” Blessings dear friend
Thank you kind friend & peace and blessings to you დ
Zermatt looks fabulous. I wonder if it’s empty at the moment? Thanks for the comfort, Cindy 🤗💕
You are very welcome Jo. I do wonder what Zermatt might look like now. Switzerland is struggling with covid and heightened restrictions are in place. დ
Wunderbar sind deine Farben, Orte und Landschaften aus aller Welt, liebe Freundin. Ja, in Zermatt war ich 1963 beim Skifahren. Dir einen schönen 3. Advent. Ernst
Danke und Happy Advent, mein lieber Freund. Bleiben Sie sicher und gesund in der schönen Schweiz დ
Thank you for the virtual tour to some of the greatest escapist regions of the world, Cindy! I happen to live in one that provides shelter from stress and still is Covit free.
You are most welcome and I am happy for you Peter დ
Mesmerisingly beautiful! X
Smiling…Thank you so much & cheers to you დ
Blessed. Much love. 🙏
I’ve visited and lived in many of those places. So beautiful. Just one small correction, Banff National Park is actually in Alberta (where I live), and the photo is of Vermillion Lakes, Banff.
Oh, yes. Thank you for the correction. I was wondering about this as I was falling asleep…. I will make the change. Thank you for the name of the lake as well which I didn’t know. Alberta is gorgeous. Happy Holidays & thank you! დ
I actually live about 20 mins from those lakes. It’s a beautiful area. Have a relaxing weekend 💕
The perfect prescription…thank you Doctor Cindy! 😇
You are most welcome Liza. Regular exposure to peace and beauty are just what the doctor ordered! Stay safe and well my friend დ
You and yours as well! ☮️❤️😇
დ დ
Thank you Cindy for sharing these beautiful landscapes… I’m breathing them in! <3
You can smell the pristine mountain air! I miss it. Sigh… Happy Holidays Eliza დ
thanks for the beauty, Cindy!
You are very welcome & Happy Holidays დ

No worries my friend. Stay safe დ
You too, Cindy, Take care ✨ ✨ ✨

For a moment I thought you had returned to the south of Chili! This is beautiful too! 🙂
Have a nice weekend, Cindy.
I wish! We actually were supposed to be very far south in January, back to Antarctica. Now I will travel there virtually. Thanks for stopping by & stay safe and well დ
We do live in a beautiful world. Hard to even imagine that Heaven will be evn more so.
Yes. It is hard to imagine, but worth thinking about დ
