So i take it you do not like deserts?
Ah, pity, you don't know what you're missing. Expansive, powerful, awe-inspiring, magical, mystical, beautiful, subtle, sublime.
Beauty, et al is in the eyes, heart, soul, spirit of the beholder.
And I don't care to know either. What more can a desert offer, other than barren hellscape, dust, desertion, and famine?

Never been a fan of thick and densely forested landscapes. Though the Pacific Northwest evergreen forests are sometimes nice in their own way, but most of the woodlands back east are just meh.... for me. They block out the views, the light, sunsets, and sky, I appreciate more wide open horizons and vistas. They tree canopy just looks all the same to me state after state from Massachusetts, to Maryland, to the Carolinas, just ehhh... woodlands.
Now put me on a beach or waterfront in front of a large body of water back east, and I'm usually pretty pleased or even impressed, because it usually has a nice view, breaking up the monotony of the woodlands.

1.)So are the PNW forests not closed canopy? Because they look very dense, enough to block out what you say you like.
2.)The Southeastern forests are in a warm, humid climate regime, and tree diversity will be high, and the ecology more complex. Thus, you will likely see many new things in such forests to keep the excitement. In contrast, the Northeastern and PNW forests are in cooler climate regimes, and thus the ecology is less diverse/complex; the forests would be more boring, even monospecific at times.

theres nothing boring about the forests of the N East ..they are just as complex as SEast forests. The forests in the NE are constantly changing throughout the year..more drastcally than Southern forests. You can walk the same trail in all 4 seasons and it would look and feel diferent each time. ..different views, different foliage, colors, different animals,different smells...

They are not. Biodiversity and ecologic complexity ∝ warmth and wetness, and the Southeast is warmer and wetter than the Northeast.
I think the prairie. And i'd go insane if i had to live on the prairie. Especially when it's windy.
And swamps. I've never been and i never want to go. Swamps freak me out!
Yep different strokes. I like the idea of life on the prairie in an old farmhouse...preferably on the outskirts of a decent sized city. But then again, that's how I grew up.
I don't really like forests, especially heavily wooded mountains/hills like the Appalachian or in the Upper Midwest. A log cabin in the woods does nothing for me...

Although I mentioned in an earlier post that I'm not a fan of prairies visually, after spending most of my life in the N.East and California, the idea of life on the prairie with miles of grassland and no people sounds pretty sweet sometimes
1. The rain and sunny weather
2. The beach and mountains
3. The city
4. The countryside
