Me too, the city that I was born in is in a valley with the Campsie
Fells blocking the horizon. And I am only really comfortable if I can
see a mountain in the distance.
Living in Southern England the scenery seems so flat that I find it
hard to believe people like it.
When I lived in Jamaica, short time, it reminded me of home with the
Blue Mountains above the city. Except for the people being dark, the
weather good and the plants exotic :)
