Oakland imo offers some of the most beautiful scenery because its right on your street & in your back yard. Nature and residential areas are one and the same, and there's huge redwood parks if you want a complete nature experience. There's also the waterfront, the two lakes (Lake Merritt and Lake Temescal) and the two creeks (Peralta & Sausal Creek) that run all the way down East Oakland. There's no shortage of nature in Oakland.
Here's a pic I took yesterday in the Upper Oakmore neighborhood...
The city is well known in urban planning circles for having the nation's first and perhaps most extensive greenblet that surrounds the city. It was designed to preserve horse farms and the natural blue grass that is unique to the region.
LOL, if they were going to misuse an image, they might as well try and find an appealing view. btw, the highest point in key west is the Key West Cemetery on Solares Hill at 18 ft.
Haha I lived in West Palm and now in Miami but I'm not too crazy about it. It's mostly beaches and sand with palm trees. I'm looking for gardens and waterfalls and forests and hills and diversity.

If you're looking for waterfalls, the only city that I know of that has a waterfall in its downtown is Rocherster, NY.

^That's extremely typical of the Oakland Hills (Although Oakmore is not technically a part of it as its below Highway 13).
In "normal" Oakland there's no shortage of natural scenery either...
^That was taken below MacArthur right in East Oakland
^Sausal Creek
Sausal Creek from a different angle (its below)... thats how embedded nature is in the neighborhoods.
Those are some really nice pictures!
