Gabriela Mistral, a Nobel Prize winning Chilean poet, said “beauty…is the shadow of God on the universe.”

Henry David Thorea said that “I believe there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.”  There is something inside of us that resonates with beauty in nature-could it be the magnificent display of the holiness of God that we are drawn to?

Do you agree? What strikes you most about photos like these?
