I am surprised that Mediterranean didn't get any more votes that it did. I think that sort of vegetation looks pretty nice (though I realize that perhaps that the scenery associated with/of the Mediterranean itself isn't really completely just from the "natural vegetation", in and of itself, say for instance, rustic Italian gardens etc.).

Does that sign say "42 degrees" (celcius; that's like 107 F) beside 4:35pm?

Mildura photos have a more stunted look to it (aside from palms) than where I am.
Australind/Bunbury has many kinds of palms, some quite tall,
but we have many large trees also competing for the horizon.

I was torn between desert and Mediterranean but the former didn't have any votes. I love charparral and sclerophyllous forest and woodland.

Gotta go with the northern hardwood forest like we have here in Northern Michigan. Sugar maples, birch, beech, etc.

Some pics from Northern Michigan in the fall:

A mix of coniferous and deciduous.

I like the autumn colours of deciduous, but solely deciduous forests look bare and uninviting in winter, so some coniferous is desirable.

Worst is wetlands, mainly because of prolific mosquitos, midges, daddy longlegs and flies that is typical with them here in northern europe.

Lovely photos of michigan!!!

I recently traveled to Argentinian northeast (just got back two weeks ago from my trip) and i knew a new landscape i didnt know: Desertic!! Mountains, cactus, and a deeper than blue sky. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! (fwiw: I went to Salta and Jujuy provinces and i found both provinces to be incredibly beautiful, the 2 most beautiful places i ever been to in Argentina)

This are some pictures i took. Now take in count my camera is a cheap crap camera and i dont know how to use photoshop to regulate the colours. So the real vision is like 1000% better. All i can say is that this mountains colors are endless!!

And of course i voted desertic. Its unbeatable, imo!!
