For those of you who voted in the New 7 Wonders of the World a couple years ago, the same group has announced the finalists for the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Now I personally think there has been a great oversight in that Yellowstone did not make it to the finals and the highly overrated Grand Canyon did. However, there are 27 other beautiful natural wonders of the world from which to vote. This is international, with the most populated countries already shaping the outcomes. Click on the title of this post to go to the web page to vote. In case you want to know my 7: Halong Bay, Table Mountain, Angel Falls, Great Barrier Reef, Kilimanjaro, Milford Sound, and Mud Volcanoes. Halong Bay in Vietnam and the Grand Canyon are the only 2 of the finalists that I have personally visited, and I can more than vouch for the beauty of the bay. The picture (not the greatest) is from one of the 2000+ islands in the park. Grand Canyon isn't even the prettiest place in the Southwest US as there are 5 national parks in Utah just north of there that are all far more spectacular and beautiful in appearance. I refer to Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands National Parks. Though none are as deep as GC, they are far more interesting to see, offer more to do, and most importantly in my completely biased opinion, offer far more stunning vistas from which to be inspired. GC is not even the deepest canyon out West as Hell's Canyon on the Snake River is deeper. Whatever you prefer, go to the website and vote for what you think are the 7 Wonders of Nature.
