Nature is such a truly powerful thing because it has the power to engage us with all of our senses without even trying to. Nature has this power to influence us in different ways, without even having to be there. Looking at a photo the human mind becomes curious as to how it would feel being at that place, where it is in the world or what has happened for it to look the way it does. The image above looks like something out of a film, however it is a real place. The Tianzi Mountain in China generates a curiosity within the on looker, how did the mountain come to be the way we see it now. What happened here?
The Wombeyan Caves look as if they have never touched or discovered until the photo was taken. Beautiful places of nature should be protected as much as they can by humanity. Because once they are gone they can never be replaced. Nature can only truly be appreciated in its entirety by being experienced. They have the power to transport us into another dimension, if we are open to the nature around us.
But humanity is only interested in the money they can make, not the nature preservation. Sometimes these places would be better off not being discovered by humanity because we always manage to find a way to ruin things that are beautiful.
