Yesterday I took this photo of the sky as sunset approached. The photo does not do the actual effect justice, but I won't let that dampen my thoughts.
The scene of the sky in a myriad of colours struck me in it's beauty, it's majesty, it's simple gloriousness.
Today I heard a scientific explanation of the colours in a sunset. The facts somehow depleted the awe and reduced the spectacular.
I love science, crave facts, search for factual documentaries and read the New Scientist. But more and more I'm reminded that the beauty of our world does not need to be explained; it is a pleasure to rejoice in.
