| There are desolate spots, stark and scarce surrounded by lush forests and backdropped by rolling hills. |
| The view south centres on 8,790-foot Mount Goldie, backdropped against the Rocky Mountains in the distance across the Columbia Valley. |
| The hole is gorgeously backdropped by a natural waterfall flowing from the Cullasaja River. |
| The country's bicentenary celebrations are backdropped by more political turmoil and a state of near-civil war. |
