Fanciful is bad???

With a little planning, a Zuikofest might be possible. Bob's there, Mike not
far away, and I'm usually about from
sometime around mid Sept. for a month. Certainly no shortage of photogenic
spots. :-)

Lots and lots of real. The coastline is beautifully rugged. With all the
granite 'fingers' reaching out into the
Atlantic, there's certainly a lot of it.
They like to think their interior is rugged. Lots and lots of trees, ponds,
lakes and so on. But (like Scotland?) the
mountains are old, worn down and rather small, compared to the US West. Most of
rugged there is to do with weather, more
than terrain.
Beautiful country. I count myself very fortunate to be able to visit yearly. My
own home territory also has lots of
real; beautiful, rugged coastline and parts are remote and rugged beyond what
you might imagine. Amazing variety. But
very different. I love both.
