Do you feel like sometimes you are on top of the world? Life has its ups and downs but mostly life has been good.
For my Scenic Sunday I thought I would do a post of my views from the top of the world. Well not really the top of the world but some seem pretty close to it. Actually these shots are from various trips hubby and I have been on, we love to travel. The 22 years we have been together I believe we have managed at least one trip a year sometimes two if we could swing it. My hubby likes to see the views from the top of mountains so we have hiked, we have driven to the top, we have taken trains and we have taken lifts.
As usual you can click on the photos for a larger image.

After a hike to the top of Mt Tallac we had a view of Lake Tahoe.
After a train ride and some fancy lifts we arrived at the top Jungfrau, Switzerland

Above another photo of Jungfrau. Also, while in Switzerland we also took lifts to see a view of Mt Blanc, which is the highest peak in Western Europe. We were actually in the clouds and did not have a great view. Once a cloud broke I believe we actually see the peak for a short time. By then I was ready to go down and kiss the ground. The lifts were small and shaky. Nothing like the lifts and trains we took to Jungfrau or to see the Matterhorn.
Above more hiking and climbing mountains, this time In Yosemite California.
Hiking to the Yosemite Waterfalls.
We have driven to the top of the Going to the Sun road in Glacier National Park
The Going to the Sun road is a narrow winding road and in some places has waterfalls running right under the road.
Sunrise on top of the Haleakala Crater Maui, Hawaii. We saw the sun rising above the clouds. If you go here wear some warm clothes it was freezing cold at the top of the crater.

Looking down from the top, a view from our helicopter ride around the island of Kauai, Hawaii. The NaPali coastline was gorgeous.
The helicopter ride took us into the Waialeale crater, Kauai, Hawaii where we saw waterfalls just about all of 360 degrees inside the crater.
Kauai's Waimea Canyon... the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, Kauai, Hawaii
I hope you enjoyed my views of the top and looking down from the top. I enjoyed reliving some of our trips thru my photos. To see more beautiful and wonderful scenes please visit Scenic Sunday
