Desert, Prairie, Water Or Mountains: Each Area Possesses Its Own Unique Fascination
// April 6th, 2010 // Real Estate
When people are asked where want to live; a common answer would be Colorado. For many people, the mountains are the place to live. Telluride is a great area for mountain living. To see the availability of Telluride Properties, contact a Telluride Real Estate agent. If you are a mountain person, you will see an array of dreamhouses. I just used the phrase mountain person. There are actually four categories of people in the United States: mountain people, desert people, prairie people, and water people. Each of these groups feels the most joy in their particular area. We will look at my particular favorite last.
The desert is a favorite environment for lots of folks. These folks thrive in the heat, dryness, and sunshine of the desert. The panorama encompasses a special beauty that is not seen anywhere else. They range from the altitude of the rocky Painted Desert to the lows of Death Valley. While other areas get their hues from the lush vegetation and lakes; the desert has the broad range of colors that include every shade of brown, with many yellows, reds, grays and even blues. Many people spend time in the desert because it stimulates their creativity and they can get in touch with their spiritual selves there.
The prairie is the preference of another group. However, it is very sad that large portions of the prairie no longer exist. The land is flat, allowing the vista to spread over a long distance. One time I was in the second story of a building in Central Illinois and thought I could see my home in Ohio in the distance. Today, the prairie lands consist mostly of modern American cities and corn and wheat fields.
Water provides a great number of activities. The main draw is the beach, whether it is on the salty ocean or surrounding a fresh lake. Beaches bring out our indolence. We relax in the sunshine to bake out our knots and cares. But fun on the water can be lazy or active. The boat can go slowly for relaxation and fishing or fast to pull water skis or a tube.
Finally, let us look at the mountain person. What draws people to the mountains, particularly the Rockies? For outdoorsy people, the mountains are a great place to be. There is so much to do in every season. The most obvious are winter sports.Certainly. A lot of snow falls on the mountains in the winter. And if the winter is disappointing in its snow delivery, the resorts can fall back on their artificial snow. Snow lovers have a large choice of fun things to do. There are skiing and snowboarding on the high and steep slopes. But if you are not a skier, there are other vehicles for sliding down the hill, such as sleds, “tubes,” and toboggans. On flatter ground there are other options. If you like to ski, there is always cross-country skiing. If not, you can hike wearing snowshoes. As you can see, I lean toward the fun to be had in the winter season.
