In Praise of Beauty - Part 2

Beauty, be it in Nature or Art, has always fascinated me. I live mostly in a constant state of awe and wonder. Not a single day goes by when I don't see something worthy of my utmost admiration.

Long may it continue, for I will never tire of admiring beauty.


Beauty such as in Sofia C, from Portugal. The epitome of feminine elegance and refinement, and in an arty shot that could grace the cover of any magazine...


 and on to the exquisite finesse of this translucent rainforest butterfly...



and the majestic snowy owl...



or the autumn sun forcing it's way through a blanket of rain clouds...



or even setting, after a long day of laborious luminescence...


 and...the town I love so well.

    The picture of the setting sun is incredible. How could anyone see that live without being moved? Maybe alien tourists will one day visit the Earth to watch our sunsets.

      It seems almost impossible to be true, Nessa - a working, thinking complex creature almost entirely transparent
