Natural beauty

At just after 8am, the sun rose in the clear, frosty south-east while diametrically opposite the moon hung, pale, huge and low in the north-west. A picture of brief but perfect symmetry.

At moments like this, the beauty of the natural world is overwhelming and intoxicating.

We are so used to obtaining our visual entertainment from artificial means: TV, DVDs, computers. With the implication that we can forget the more simpler, but deeper, pleasures that surround us if we only lift up our heads.
