What’s particularly crazy is everywhere had that view about 100 years ago, before light pollution.
First and only time I've really, really seen it was when I was in the middle of Kruger National Park in South Africa. I think I stared at it for the better part of an hour.

When you are far from pollution light, it is amazing to watch the stars.
When on the USS LaSalle AGF-3, in the Persian gulf, walking out on the bow in the middle of the gulf, you fell your way to the rail and after a few minutes looked up and mind blowing!

Came here to mention these in particular. The Mighty Five have to been seen to be believed. For my money the most beautiful part of America.

St. Peter's Basilica did it for me. Pictures cannot possibly do justice to how massive that place is.

Just finished watching War and Remembrance on YouTube. There aren't enough words to describe the amount of horror that the European Jews went through during the war.

Love them or hate them, the Meta datacenter site in Rayville. The scale is unreal.

Yosemite, Vatican(way too much gold), beach at Cannes, tomcat splashing a phantom, seeing my son (like I did) grow int a better man than his pop, sunrise at the Dead Sea, wife on wedding day and when she became a mom,

I wish I “got” the feeling so many others get when seeing natural wonders. Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, even being in the totality of the eclipse a few years ago…
It’s all just “oh, neat” to me. Feel like I should be feeling more and I don’t. Oh well

Niagara Falls and Horseshoe Falls. When you take the elevator down on the Canadian side of the border and look up at the water coming down.
There are bigger falls (Iceland and South America), but the clear water crashing into the rocks on American Falls and the rocks don't move.
Aux en Meadows in northern Newfoundland. Where the Norse did settle in a totally hostile land: not just the native hostility, but also the weather not ameliorated by being an island out in the Atlantic, but getting hit with the Arctic winds and no Gulf Stream warmth.

I’ll echo some of the ones already listed. The sequoias are unreal. Never got tired of saying “damn that’s a big arse tree”. And Badlands was like being on another planet.
I’ll add Mont St Michel to the list. Walking up to it is unreal. Like something out of a fairy tale.
