Every time I am on top of a mountain, I just feel how small I am. After all the complicated life and discussions downstairs, they all would mean nothing as I am just a part of a much wider world. I am after all just a dot as compared to these majestic towering mountains over looking huge rivers or lakes.
Mountains in Austria are amazing. Like Switzerland, there are easy pathways that one could follow going up or with the very convenient cable cars. So no matter what I am wearing and got tired of the city, I could easily go up to breathe some fresh air and meditate.

Yes, it is indeed humbling to be standing on top of a mountain.
You see God's glory below and would feel so grateful and thankful for giving us a nice earth to live in. You feel as if you are so ungrateful for complaining about many things , when God has given us a nice place to live in and this mountain as a nice getaway from the humdrum of life.

I feel refreshed and energized on top of a mountain. I like mighty rivers flowing fast, gentle running mountainous streams, aquamarine lakes and tall looking fir trees. I have climbed up three mountains in my lifetime. I climbed one in Norway, one in Australia called Mount Warning and one in New Zealand. At the top of a mountain is very much fresh air and if lucky a splendid view.

I often feel like this when I am somewhere that is naturally beautiful. It makes me think that I am such a small person, and that the things that I do in my life really don't matter in comparison to the outstanding natural beauty that is all around us. Whenever I am feeling a little bit down about things that are going on in my life I will always go to somewhere that I know will make me feel in awe, because it is a lot better to do this as it helps you to get everything into perspective and make you think that your problems most likely aren't as big as you thought they were.

do not feel like that because if we see one eye is not comparable with a small great and high mountain therefore look with eyes wide open

When I stand on top of a mountain,I feel Victorious.I feel like I have conquered it, I am the King of that mountain.It always gives me great pleasure and satisfaction,when I overcome all the difficulties in the path and reach the top.I would not look down from there,because I have Acrophobia,I look at the clouds below the eye level,they give me a sense of reaching the Sky.
