Thank you.
Thank you all for your responses.
STrapani: I love that skyline view from the Eagle Rock reservation. Each time there is a phenomenal experience for me.
Try this: Look out across the skyline. Then look as far to the left (north) as you can see. Pan your view slowly to the right, eventually looking as far south as you can see. Do you see what I see? This was the first place that I actually noticed the curvature of the earth while standing on the ground (not being in an airplane)!
Mike: That picture in Bloomsbury is precious! Thank you.
Everyone: The numerous shore pictures... bunkers and all, are great sights. Thank you.
Gerania - Greenwich, NJ. I will certainly check it out someday. Thanks.
dhanu - Glen Ridge has some of the best looking older homes in the state. My favorite is the large Victorian on Snowden Place, across from the high school.
openheads - Branchbrook Park and the Cathedral. Wow! What a mix of natural beauty and man-made beauty! Thanks for those wonderful pictures.
frank - Love that South Jersey stretch of Route 47. During the off-season, a place to open up the Mustang GT?
I'm surprised that no one said the Statue of Liberty. Though it's not natural beauty, it is one heckuva sight!

IMO, the nicest part of New Jersey is the Morris-Warren-Somerset-Hunterdon area. Hunterdon is especially my favorite. I LOVE the scenery there and I plan to live in that area in the future if I stay in NJ. I wish I had pics.

I wish. That was in my wifes Rav4, not the Stang.. + thats not a good idea to open er up on that stretch.. Cops o plenty..  Whats neat about that stretch is that road had pine trees on both sides spaced equally apart to give it a really cool effect driving thru
