I'll admit. These words are just an excuse to display this photo of the sun setting over the Severn. I spent a few days beside this river recently and am thinking how my life would be different if I had such regular contact with natural beauty.
Would I become ho-hum about it? Would they cease to amaze me, these fiery skies, this merging of river and cloud?
Or would I routinely fill my camera as I did night before last, snapping shot after shot after shot — and finding, after I reviewed them, that many of them were exactly the same?
Grandeur is like that. It turns our heads.
