When I opened this photo this evening it took my breath away. The sheer beauty of it made me gasp out loud. The photography is beautiful to be sure. But the thing that I realized in seeing this photograph was the awesomeness of God. Without all that He created there would not be incredibly beautiful moments like this for someone to capture on film. If any of you are cloud watchers you will know that in one moment they change. The time that it takes for you to grab that camara to catch the color or the formation before you is lost so quickly. What beauty that was there a moment ago is lost in the next. Which is what makes photographs like these so special. So praise God for the awesome beauty He surrounds us with each and every moment. We shouldn't need this beautiful picture to remind us of that; but sometimes I do. Rebecca Miller Paynesville, MN

Outstanding.
