[Renegade 13]

Well, since I created this thread, maybe I should post what I think

1: I think the most beautiful thing I have seen to date is the Orion Nebula, the first time I saw a full sized glossy picture of it. It just took my breath away, and still does whenever I look at it. In fact, the pitch black sky, dotted with countless stars, with the bands of the Milky Way arching above me into the darkness...that has to be one of the more beautiful sights I've ever seen. I can't count the number of hours I have spent looking out the window of my room with the screen out in the middle of winter, just to look at the sky until I had to go to bed so I wouldn't sleep so much in school the next day! (Plus it gets kinda cold when you're all ready for bed, and hanging out a window into the -20 degree weather )

2: Standing on a high place, and simply looking out at the land around me....the snow capped mountains, the crystal clear air, the pine trees as far as the eye can see. Sights like that make me appreciate what a valuable thing life really is.

I'm only saying scenery type things, because with people, it is so hard to quantify beauty. Inner beauty, physical beauty...both are just so hard to quantify. However, there are many many beautiful people whom I have met; beautiful both physically and on the inside too.
