International Mountain Day, December 11

Did you know that December 11 is designated by the United Nations as International Mountain Day? Me either! 
So designated in 2003 to raise awareness about the importance of mountains to human life and to promote sustainable development of mountain environments around the world. Sunset over the mountains known as the Black Hills, 4:14 pm  MST, December 11. 2009

Nice sunset! I didn't know that either.
Course, we don't have mountains here.
Is there an international sand dune day I wonder?
