I gasped at the Eiffel tower - it being so ubiquitous on everything from keychains to stationery to kitchen towels, I didn’t think it would be a big deal to finally see it in person yet it was (literally). And I continued - first trip and the next two - to delight in peeping it down so many alleys and across parks all over Paris. ☺️

I felt the same way when I saw it. Like you said, it's ubiquitous but something about it made my heart go pitterpat.

Our family has visited and hiked in many of the natural parks- I think each and every one of them was gasp worthy for some reason- White Sands and Carlsbad Canyons in New Mexico, Crater Lake in Oregon, Joshua Tree and Death Valley in CA, Monument Valley, Arches and Zion and Moab Utah, and that’s just some of the west! But you are about to take one of the most jaw droppingly, gasp worthy trips in October! Tetons! Glacier! Yellowstone!

I gasped on Papa Stour island. The sea and the formations were so beautiful. Nature often makes me gasp, but I love architecture too. So much beauty in this world!

My most gaspworthy sight I think was while standing at what felt like the edge of the world looking over a cliff into the waters off the coast of the Isle of Skye with wind whipping so hard I could barely stand. It was a breathtaking experience in every way.
