"In some ways, I think travel is about learning how to see, learning how to pay attention. It's an alarm clock in some ways, and it's a jumpstart to putting our senses on the setting where they're universally receptive. I think theoretically we could do that at our homes, and yet somehow, surrounded by familiarity and the routine we know too well, our eyes tend to close and we don't notice the things that are so wondrous for a visitor. But as soon as we physically start moving we awaken to the beauties around us."

Thanks for the comments and votes. Glad you enjoyed the pic - I`d like to think it was for real as the only place to find your true Faith is in the wonderful, NATURAL world around us.

I'd like to use it for a mousepad to give as gifts.

Much like The Red Rose of space which caught by satellite displays the far reaches of our universe (which looks very much as a rose would) such things again, are just a mystery and at times better to keep them that way.
As Aristotle so delicately noted at one time, "if there was not a God it would be necessary to invent one." Perhaps not verbatim but to destroy a fantasy would be the same.
In closing; digital enhancement or not, if it made one person smiled, then many others were benefited in the process. So it served its purpose.
