Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I wonder how it feels like waking up each morning with a view of that mountain

Well, it pretty much feels like this! Took it in Santiago from the tallest building downtown :-)

I think I’ve been in this building! It was at night though. Amazing views all around.

Has a similar aesthetic to SLC imo, from Sparky's pic that is.

I moved to Utah and a lot of towns cities straddle mountains like this where the town is in the valley next to the mountains. It's very cool, but Id take forests over a view. I find being surrounded by woods much more comforting than high desert with a view but I guess that just depends on where you grew up.

The thing about forests around cities is they tend to get cut down and paved over. That’s much harder to do with mountains.

Weird, you'd think it would be chilling

In my city we're surrounded by mountains, always one in view. No matter where you are in the city you know where you are cause they serve as giant landmarks.

I think it'd be chilling to be surrounded by an ocean instead.

I think the user you're replying to was making a joke, chilling = Chile.

[–] Adori@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah def went over my head xD, cuz I could see where they coming from with big ass towering landmass, it might feel like it could fall over you

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That reminds me of Reno.

[–] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
