This is the view of Cameron Highlands, one of the traditional hill stations of Malaysia.

The hills, as far as the eye can see, are covered by dense jungles, which have mostly been untouched since the dawn of time, literally before even the ice age.

Looking at it again, while living here in Dubai where all trees are carefully tended to and are a novelty because of the scarcity of water, this scene appeared like paradise to me, even though I had grown up with this scenery all my life. Strange how perspective can change.
