The Beauty of Creation

When I first saw the topic "one thing that makes you ache because it's so beautiful/feel so small in its vastness/implode with wonder" I had no idea what to write about but then it hit me one morning in the shower - nothing fits that description better than God and His creation. That's not something that can easily be put into words so this is going to be more of a photo blog post.



Ohariu Farm just north of Wellington
Lake Geneva and the Alps
Mt Tongariro and Mt Ngauruhoe


Lakes and mountains surprise me with their beauty, how ginormous they are compared to me and how still and quiet they can be.

The colours of sunsets are so pretty.

There is something so magical about snow, the way it gently floats through the air, the way it covers the ground and the trees, the way it is so white and clean, the way you can get covered in snow and brush it off without getting wet.

Snowing!

 Autumn is fall of amazing colours.




I love listening to the sound of a stream gently flowing.

New Zealand from a plane















The way our earth looks from high above it always amazes me.




Don't we have such an amazing and creative God! Every time I look at what He has created and experience different forces of nature I have to stop for a moment and let myself ache because it's so beautiful, feel so small in its vastness, implode with wonder.

  3. Snow is the very best! And if it does snow again this winter, you'll probably get heaps up where you are. Lucky Sarah!

    Good way to show what you mean - yay for jazzing up the formats we use!

  5. All except the first one are photos I've taken, mostly in Europe. The frozen waterfall was from a train somewhere in Italy.

    I really hope it does snow again this year. It was so much fun last year.
