There is a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them. – Jo Walton
Latourell Falls in the Columbia Gorge is one of my favorite falls. It has a beauty of its own - be it rain or shine. This particular day – along with the rain, the spray from the falls was so much that I could not even get my camera out. Having the falls to myself, I decided to let the camera rest and enjoy the serenity of the scene. Just then these two little guys came in - well equipped - to explore the falls. There was no stopping them be it the rain or the spray from the falls. Many times, adding a human element to landscapes adds beauty and scale. And there are no second thoughts when they happen to be cute kids like these :) I just couldn't resist … and the rain, as if agreeing with me, stopped for a brief time - letting me capture this lovely moment. How do u like it ?!!!
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. And it is ironical that at times, you need to turn off the lights and thoughts, rather than turn them on - to see beauty like this. I am just a tiny spec on this earth at the given slice of time. The earth in turn is such a tiny speck in the milky way. To top it off the the Milky Way is just one of billions of galaxies in the universe. When u get to witness the celestial grandeur like these – it brings in an amazing feeling of being extraordinarily special and at the same time wonderfully insignificant. The journey of outside are not very different from that of the inside. At the end all that matters is the search itself :) Let the waters settle and you will see the stars mirrored in your Being. ~Rumi
