I took this photo thinking I would never show it to a soul, and in all probability it wouldn’t come out at all since I took it so hastily, but when I uploaded it to my computer editing software and looked at it I saw something quite different from the ridiculous, oafish, boorish, pink and icky men I saw on the beach. There before me was the stark contrast of natural man on the rough, surf worn rocks gazing on the modern world, and this modern marvel we call The Golden Gate Bridge. I marveled at the genius of man and how far we’ve come, and how beautiful he looked standing there. In this time capsule he is man at his best pure, intelligent, proud, and I am humbled.

“Though human ingenuity may make various inventions which, by the help of various machines answering the same end, it will never devise any inventions more beautiful, nor more simple, nor more to the purpose than Nature does; because in her inventions nothing is wanting, and nothing is superfluous, and she needs no counterpoise when she makes limbs proper for motion in the bodies of animals. But she puts into them the soul of the body, which forms them that is the soul of the mother which first constructs in the womb the form of the man and in due time awakens the soul that is to inhabit it.”~ Leonardo de Vinci

Thank you Son for the title. All my love ~♥~
