one more thing I find beautiful..

looking from a short distance at the hundreds of raindrops on my window when it's dark outside and it's raining, while the light of a lamppost is shining through them..
dozens of colours, beautiful shapes..

done that 2 nights/evenings in a row now..

There is something that I find amazing but that is hard to explain...
Have you ever been in a train the moment shortly after the sun has disappeared behind the horizon, when it's not quite dark outside? When you look out of the window at that time, the opposite window reflects in the window you look out. Then you can see three or sometimes four pictures at the same time...did anyone get what I mean?
Anyway, one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen is a sunrise in the clouds when you are in a plane...


Have you ever seen the movie Spirited Away? (Great movie) But there is a scene towards the end when Chihiro is riding on a train and looking out the window, what you were saying just reminded me of that :)

Something that I am finding very beautiful lately is around 6:30 in the morning when the sun is on the verge of rising and it just light enough to see where you are going, but not light enough to do anything else. And it all really pulls ttogether with the bright moon and the fading stars and the biting chill outside. I think that it all pulls together wonderfully.

Oh, Accio... That picture was just forming in my head when I read your words... That scenario you're building there is just fantastic...

I really like light contrasts and that is certainly one of the most beautiful ones. Amazing :razz:

Unlike smokey, my room is not at all visually attractive to look at, unless of course you like bombsites!

What I find really beautiful right now is a feeling. The feeling you get deep in your tummy after you've spent time with someone that you considered a good friend, but suddenly you see themm in a whole new light. Like at the end of the night when they are dropping you off and you look into each others eyes but only give a hug, but really you know next time it might before. The feeling you get when you walk indside and lay on your bed smiling and reviewing the night is definitly the most beautiful thing in the owrld to me right now.
