Every City has a Mountain, post yours..
 
It seems every city has a nice mountain range dominating the skyline.. Los Angeles i no different.. we have the lovely San Bernadino Mountains, the Los Angeles Mountains, the San Gabriel Mountains, and the Santa Monica Mountains forming the basin of the city.. they can be beautiful to see. On clear mornings I strole to this local motel which is 4 stories and climp up to the highest balcony because it faces the mountains in the north, otherwise I can't see them over all the houses and buildings, but that vista at dawn from those steps is rather refreshing, reminds me that I do not just live in the concrete jungle, but in a natural world

"Goin to the hills, from whence cometh my health, my health comes from the Lord, who makes me a new.." Israel Vibrations

terriblecanyons 08.26.2009 01:05 PM

Mine doesn't, so I'll just post the mountains I grew up with.

the middle peak there is called Mount Olive, I go hiking there in the winter when it is not in the tripple digits, breathtaking view of the city, on a clear day you can see clear across to the ocean..


 


I was hoping to find a picture without the snow, as 75% of the time these mountains have no snow, but they retain if not enhance their beauty, the snow is wonderful but that is not the typical LA mountain scene.. but yes, LA does have snowcapped mountains in the winter


 

and then like today.. fire on the mountain. in fact, the fire this morning is very near where i go hiking on the San Gabriels..

don't be hating. I said, "it seems like" I did not claim that shit as a geological fact ;)

if you don't like it move to a city with some lovely mountains, but out here west of the rockies EVERY city has mountains, that back east shit to us here in the west is like the Old World was to colonialists.. a confining, smothering environment of landed aristocracy, deeply embedded racism/corruption, and a general social atmosphere of structure and castes which restricts social mobility.. fuck back east.

westsides on the map niggaz rappin since the 70s and still never went gold..

Rob Instigator 08.26.2009 01:39 PM

Going back to these origins
The city is a natural scape
Order in the details
Confusion uproar in the whole
In nature reality is selection
The tool of critical intervention
Fragmentation is the rule
Unity is not taught in school
You are an unnatural growth
On a funny sunny street
The city has forgotten you
Its symbols of the past
The meaning of its state
Its order of decay
Stand now in a column
And make the nature scene

Standing now in columns
Making the nature scene
Making the nature scene
Waiting to make their pay
There is no resistance to
The signs along the way
Standing all in columns
Waiting to make their pay
Making the nature scene
Waiting for the day
There is no resistance to
There is no resistance to
Salvation means to count on you
It just means to count on you
Make the nature scene

What are "mountains" ?

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.26.2009 05:36 PM

In Pittsburgh we got Mt. Washington.

Really more of a hill, but whatever. We call it a mountain. Kind of like the Allegheny mountains. Those are hills fool.

dirty bunny 08.26.2009 05:39 PM

 

The Niagara Escarpment. Not a mountain, and I'm not sure the part pictured is anywhere near me. But it is pretty, especially in the fall.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.26.2009 05:42 PM

beautiful picture. I love this area in the fall

dirty bunny 08.26.2009 05:45 PM

Yeah. Ah you're in Pittsburgh, so maybe your fall is like ours- doesn't last that long. I love when trees go that golden yellow colour, especially framed against a crisp blue sky. MMMmmmm

東京親父ギャグ研究所 08.26.2009 08:16 PM

Same mountain from where I lived last year. Fuji is prettier from this (south) side.

The mountain has been destroyed. God's people will flee the city of the whore. They will make thier home on a swampy bed of limerock.:)

Toilet & Bowels 08.27.2009 09:03 AM

there aren't any mountains in england at all as far as i know, there used to be a dry ski slope in a town 10 miles from here though.

gmku 08.27.2009 09:21 AM

It seems like every city has a Siberia. Post yours.

gualbert 08.27.2009 09:50 AM

Most citys have a river.
And/or a sea.
Very few citys have both + a mountain.

gmku 08.27.2009 09:53 AM

Every city seems to have a McDonald's. Post yours.
