There was a live TV program sekai no zekkei hyaku sen (世界の絶景100選), 100 superb views in the world for four hours last night. This program series have been broadcasted since 2004, and this was 12th special. Its subhead was "Final decision! 100 superb views to see before we die and the declaration of the most superb view in the earth special." They introduced 100 superb views of the earth by video, and televiewers voted by cellphones. The total number of votes cast was over 150,000.
The number one was the scenery of the rainbow over the Jeep Island in Micronesia. The reporter was the ex-Major Leagues baseball player, Tsuyoshi Shinjo (新庄剛志) who is known as "the man calls miracle." He has stayed three days in the miracle island called Jeep Island which is said to be made from one coconut. It is only 30 meters wide. On the third day finally it rained and the rainbow appeared. Before it arched over the island completely it began to disappear. That day he could not see a complete rainbow, but he said he saw about 6 rainbows at that time. Unfortunately there were no videos of them made. To see the superb view many things must be present such as time, season, and weather. If one of the conditions is missing, you can't see the best view.
How many superb views do you think you can encounter in your life? I have had the good fortune to have experienced about half of these and plan to experience as many more as possible.
