One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i tend to get VERY easily enthusiastic over things i see; a sunset, a beautiful sky, a cloud that looks like something or someone, the way nature in northern-norway looks on crystal clear, wind-free summer days ... nature, i think, is the most amazing thing i've seen. yup, it always comes down to beautiful mother nature.

and it was pretty amazing standing on top of the pyramids in teotihuacan! wow.

i can tell you a bit about modern aesthetic theory, if nothing else :P
