Scenic Sunday # 5

 Mayan Ruins in Cozumel, Mexico.

"It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."

— Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994

Scenic Sunday # 4

Panorama on Oahu. 

 Fly away, pretty moth, to the shade

Of the leaf where you slumbered all day;

Be content with the moon and the stars, pretty moth,

And make use of your wings while you may.

But tho' dreams of delight may have dazzled you quite,

They at last found it dangerous play;

Many things in this world that look bright, pretty moth,

Only dazzle to lead us astray.

-Thomas Haynes Bayly

Scenic Sunday # 3

It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. - Mark Twain

Scenic Sunday # 1

 

When I first started blogging all those years ago, I discovered a community.   Eventually, I discovered themed posts where not only you could share photos, but you could interact with others in a different way.   One of of my favorites was Scenic Sunday.   I decided today to relaunch this theme.   If it becomes popular, maybe I can retool it for some other themes that are no longer active.  

Anyway!  Welcome!
