As an avid photographer, hiker, and environmental scientist, I've been able to see lots of beautiful and amazing natural wonders. I've been lucky enough to see the northern lights dancing, glaciers calving, gigantic waterfalls, whales breaching, hurricane winds, rain in the desert, black and red sand beaches, bioluminescence, and more. I don't think I've ever seen anything as beautiful as the glow of golden larches in the alpine sunlight, though. It really is one of the most fleeting and breath-taking natural phenomena on Earth.
