Sea Or Mountains?

Haha, the mountains and the sea! Wonderful thought, Niamh!!!

That is such an amazing photograph...

I am so tied to the land; I would love the sea but perhaps mainly as an asset of the land.

I am going to have to see that land. I remember one chess Grandmaster, Alex Baburin, he was from Dublin.

I work on the sea, but I prefer the mountains...so, do I really have to choose?

I feel nostalgic. I want to see sea badly, but there seem to be no chances for such a trip. :(

You are never more than a few hours from the sea here in Ireland, and the country is full of mountains, many of which are close to the sea.:) My favourite spot is up in the cooley Mountains, looking out over the Irish sea and Carlingford loch as well. Some times you can glimpse the Isle of Man. Its where the Tain is Based. :nod:
Chess Grandmaster? I dont follow chess but Ireland is full of people who specialise in things like chess.
Here is a view from the cooleys looking across the countryside(curtisy of photobucket)

I love Sea. I miss Sea! Heh, I want to live in the Sea. What if I would have been a Fish or a Mermaid? I wonder, wouldn't it have been great? :D

What about you guys? What do you like more, mountains or sea?

We English like the Sea and the mountains. Sea water runs through our viens and mountains forms our backbones :D

And what do you think Agatha Christie, the writer I quoted, was? French? Or had she no love for her backbones? :p

Good. I clap on your ability to accept/assume things so easily. :p

I am fallible because I am human :D

The sea. Definitely.

I'll have to say mountains, because although I like looking at the sea, I don't like being in it. However, the sea and the mountains do look rather picturesque together.

I like that picture, Niamh. Nice living on mountains surrounded by sea but still one would be on the mountain, she/he wouldn't be able to feel sea-tides. :(

Hmmm. Proof? :p

Well...one could sit at the foot of a mountain and also be by the edge of the sea.
