Prompt: A Place I love going back to
The first place that came to my mind when I read this prompt is Colorado. Our home for 5 years, with a window facing Pikes Peak. This view has become an important part of our lives. The mountains, clouds, and sky change colors and appearance with the season.
If we don't consider the high altitude, dryness, and severe cold for a few months, it's a paradise to live in.
I started my blog when I started working in Chennai as a fresher around 2006, I guess. But if you observe my blog posts and history, there is a huge difference between my posts before and after my Colorado visit and stay. My blog has become more colorful with those lovely Instagram-worthy pics and has been buzzing with travel content from Colorado.
If you don't believe what I am talking about, check these 2 pages:
Why I love Colorado?
Mountains:
I am always a mountain person and not a beach person. I love how mountains change in appearance with snow, dark clouds, on summer days, and in the fall season.
They look majestic and remind us that we are small, and our problems are tiny compared to nature and its power. They keep me grounded. They give me hope that we can set high standards in our lives and can really achieve them.

Alpine scenery:
Winding roads, dangerous curves, scenic views, wildlife, and unexpected weather. The joy of being on top of a mountain, enjoying the scenic beauty, is not comparable to any other experience. The fresh breeze on the face and the play of light between clouds are not easy to explain unless experienced by us.
Snow:
The first experience of snow can make any normal person write poetry. The experience is like white little flowers falling from the sky. The blanket of snow the next day after snowfall is as mesmerizing as snow itself. The trees and leaves are heavy with snow, but shining with a new glow. Even adults become kids making snowmen :-) But cleaning the car after snow is not a pleasant experience; I agree :p

Summer afternoons and Rainbows:
At high altitudes, we should never be hiking in the mountains. On hot summer days, weather usually becomes unpredictable. Rains, hail, and sleet are common. The amazing colors of the sky during sunset are a gorgeous experience. Rainbows make a grand appearance often.
Fall colors:
The green leaves turn yellow and then red due to their inability to make chlorophyll at certain cooler temperatures with less sunlight. During fall, it seems like the earth shows off its amazing fashion show.
My pictures never do it justice, and seeing the fall scenery in person is always the best.

That is the place my heart loves to go back to anytime.
