Ever since I sat on the edge of the Grand Canyon to watch the sunrise and again in the evening to watch the dramatic colours at sunset I have appreciated how individually we are so very small in comparison with the vast world around us - but then again sometimes something happens to make me think maybe the world is not so big after all.
One of those events occurred this week when my wife and I were away for a few days in the English Lake District, near Windermere. For visitors to the UK this is one of most beautiful areas of England, with wonderful lake views, surrounding Mountain peaks (although they are very small compared to The Alps, Rockies or Sierra Nevadas) and a poetry captured by Wordsworth.
We sat just outside of Bowness on Friday evening watching the sunset over Lake WIndermere with the Langdale Pikes in the distance, it was so tranquil and serene - we enjoyed sharing the moment with visitors from Japan, France and Australia.
