New Jersey is such a beautiful place, and sometimes that beauty is just out of this world! Our state can be so stunning and surreal, it seems like we’re on another planet. Our varied landscapes could easily be the backdrop for a science-fiction story. These 12 photos are proof that New Jersey would make the most spectacular planet.
