i agree with a lot of things you've all said, but i have to say a sunset, sitting on top of a hill and just thinking. i also love the stars and the moon, they are so awe inspiring :o

righto..i think that sitting right on the edge of a cliff (specifically Rame Head) and looking down into the water as the sun sets and the stars begin to show is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen.
that and when i was camping we slept outside, a big group of us and we were all silently looking at the sky (which was quite cloudy) but suddenly the clouds cleared and there was only a tiny moon so it was really dark and we saw all these meteorites falling, it was amazing!

Oh... Those things... a-ma-zing...
And the stars... inspiring, indeed...
When I look at the nighty sky... How small we are, yet how big we seem to be sometimes...

I think the sky has it's own mysteries, never to be solved.

I love watching people sleep...they look so peaceful...

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...

That's just amazing gecko ... I don't think I've ever seen a sunset or sunrise from a plane.

Sorry for the double post, but I just read Paul's post in the 'cute hp-pics' topic, and I have linked wrong! :eek: Sorry for that everyone!

If you still want to see that photo, go here:

I've settled this site: Images for BaO members having 8 great pictures I love.

You may dowload the last one, as for the others, you can't use them. Sry!
