Man vs Nature

My thoughts are on people. With all of these masses here in Vegas it is hard not to think about people in all their uniqueness, ugliness and beauty. The pool from 34 floors up is beautiful. People moving in the water causes a beautiful cracked glass mosaic pattern. Flashes of light quickly shine and then disappear. A big man made body of water treated with chemicals in the middle of the desert. From the 34th floor I can also see mountains and desert. Yesterday I saw how low lake Mead is. You can tell by the white calcium deposits left on the rock where the water used to be. But people must have super large pools to relax in. I cannot help but think of the environment today staring at this beautiful mountain range over a bunch of man-made crap.
At the Bellaggio Art museum I saw some Ansel Adams prints. Beautiful, breathtaking Nature. I saw the golden gate area without the bridge. It was so beautiful, the bay moved out unrestricted. Man feels a need to conquer nature. To stop a river that has flowed longer than man has been here. Build where nature once was. I do not have this need. I want to learn from nature and take nothing from its beauty. I only want Nature in my heart and mind and become inspired by it. People scare me sometimes. Flowers, animals, mountains, rivers, the oceans all beauty. God given beauty - that is in me. I am part of nature and that does not scare me at all. All of this must sound silly but it is how I feel today. I hope you can understand.
