Sunsets always have an otherworldly quality. They always seem to be announcing a gateway to a different world, a different life- or even the after life!
Nature has so much to offer that we cannot begin to assimilate it all in one life time. We, as a race, however, have plundered her and bared her over several lifetimes for millenia.
We are singular in being ABLE to alter what we see and turn it into what we want... and sometimes even into what we did not anticipate or want.
We have raised forests into flatlands to give land for agriculture and Athen nature has reared her head in anger and washed these away Ain floods! Where are the forests?
We have built dams over rivers and seen Nature tell us saving one part of land will drown another in the reservoir that we have created.
We live under a delusion that we are powerful. We assume that global warming, the climate changes, the freak weather changes, the melting ice belts and the receding snow lines are somehow a result of human activity.
Through the ages, earth has gone through periods of warmth and cold. She has seen extinction of old races and species as well seen emergence of new ones. Why do we assume that Earth is not going through one of her Natural cycles and is facing all of these changes because of us?
Are we stronger than Mother Earth?

Beautiful sunset,Nidhi.. yes through out of our lives we are trying to alter the nature, to adjust it to our selves,.. and look what we have done!!
Floods, tornadoes, dry lands... nature is screaming in anger.. and we still think we are ones who are the masters of the game.
What huge ego mankind has!!
Once when we learn to live as one with nature our lives will improve, and we will be happy!
Good text!

Thanks JJ.
Heartthatbeats really beats great. It shows in his pics.
We do need to reign in our instincts and live in harmony with Nature. However, the changes that we are experiencing would have probably happened anyway- the cyclical changes that have visited upon Earth and teh rest of teh Universe through history.
LOL,

Change is inevitable and as you have pointed that it would have happened anyways! But we have to take the onus of being catalysts,somewhere.Without our intervention the enormity of change would have probably been different/less!
Had we been more powerful than Mother Earth, we would have been able to tame it our way!The Earth shows it might by responding in its own way.
As always your post is good and the picture is lending beauty to the text.Great combination of HTB and NW there!!!
Thanks Quest!
We do recocnize, or should. The human race is, however, too full of its own importance. We assume ourselves to be much too important. Delusion of grandeur!
Thanks about the compliment about the combo of HTB-NW...;-)
