People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering.
-Aurelius Augustinus
One of my favorite quotations was one I heard from a Passion Conference sermon, entitled Indescribable, albeit was originally spoken by Saint Augustine of Hippo.

lovely shot
Thank-you! Your opinion is most appreciated. It’s fantastic how mere reflections in water can be so beautiful. It reminds me of Herman Melville’s initial statement about water’s quality in regard to humanity.
I’ve never heard it. But yes it’s so lovely (:
I hadn’t read of the statement until a few weeks ago, myself, it is from Moby Dick which is a surprisingly philosophical novel… much different from children’s picture books. Thanks for the comment!
I love that
