I'm not sure how we're defining a regular person, but my most-beautiful-on-earth vote would be a toss-up between Southeast Alaska and Tsitsikamma National Park in South Africa. Both have the dramatic mountains-to-water transition.

Closer to home, Doyles River Falls.

Barbuda. But this was pre hurricane.

I think it's a tie between Iceland and Greek Islands for me

-Borobudur at sunrise — mist rising from the surrounding jungle and a volcano puffing smoke in the distance all framed by stupas
-Sahara desert at night with shooting stars
-coral reef/underwater scenes teeming with life in Honduras and Maldives

The Cascades.

I love Rio. It really is one of a kind. The tropical forest, mountains, beaches. And the people. Brazil has a lot of beautiful places that are breath taking...Iguaçu, Lençois Maranhenses, Bonito, Chapada Diamantina National Park.

Also came here to say the Badlands.

The Badlands are amazing. Like the landscape of an alien world.

The Antrim coast is lovely. So much of Ireland just absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite trips.

Yosemite Valley on a perfectly clear spring day
Night sky on Inis Mor, one of Ireland's Aran Islands
Grand Canyon at sunset

Night sky in Morocco dessert

Rice paddies as far as the eye can see in Vietnam- lush and green

Windy roads and sheep fields in the background in New Zealsnd countryside

And much more

The Mist Trail in the spring at Yosemite-rainbows, waterfall, lush greenery, and you're being soaked with a fine mist

I agree with the others on your list I've seen (I haven't been to Asia), but, yes, Harper's Ferry also deserves to be on this list.
