For me, the mountains are synonyms with bliss. You are high up there, with nothing else to distract you but the amazing beauty of nature. Considering the summer heat, I would love nothing more than to retreat to the mountains to enjoy the cool breeze high up there. For mountain enthusiasts such as me, here are some breathtaking pictures of beautiful mountains you will enjoy.
