The tree of life.
Savage mighty nature.Always nature would be far more beautifull than any building.The creation of God must be that way.I think we can guess why one nation is different from another,maybe the soroundings influence on people behaviour.
The image of every soul
That is one beautiful picture /place ..it reminds me of Eternity ..Blessings Tania
Ah, Mount HuangShan–the Yellow Mountain! I’ve never been there, but I do recall studying about it once in a Chinese history class. This is the place where Emperor HuangDi (The Yellow Emperor), went in search for the herbs from which to make the Elixer of Immortality, a goal which he sought after the whole of his life. Some say he found it; others say he slowly poisoned himself in the process of trying. (Mercury, which is highly toxic and can be fatal, was often an ingredient in such potions.) A tragic story. Or perhaps a triumphant one. Who knows?
But this picture also makes me laugh, as I once went into a garden center–when I first moved back to Texas and was trying to decide how to landscape my yard–and asked the sales associate if she knew where I might find a “Chinese pine.” I didn’t know what they were called, of course, I just had this picture in my mind, or rather in my soul’s-eye, of what I wanted. I tried to describe it to her. I said, “You know–they’re rather short, as pines go, with twisted trunks and flat tops. They grow on mountainsides and always look like they’ve been shaped by the winds.” She didn’t have a clue what I was talking about, and finally I gave up my search and decided to work with the native pines that already grew in my yard, though they didn’t give me the same feeling at all. So, when I saw this picture, I immediately thought of that.
Nature, in her many myriad forms, is indeed yet another language of the spirit, another tongue in which the soul speaks…or in which it is spoken to.
Oh wow! Mystical and lovely. The mountains do not look wide and jagged, but rounded and tall. It is a part of Earth which has matured and seen so much.

If I could physically reach the peak of this view, everything would feel breathlessly wonderful. Wondering how the photographer managed what looked like a treacherous mountain to climb.

I do not understand why people worship God on high mountains, since Ancient Times. God is everywhere. One of His qualitites is omnipresence and Eternal. The transcendental knowledge is the Way and the Truth.

Always thought that any place in the world is beautiful, but really there are places more beautiful and saint that others.
The one who could turn into bird and free without ties to travel, and to travel…
Nice pic,
