The visit to Mornington Penisula! :)

The beauty of nature is really miraculous. Sometimes, an action as simple as gazing at the sky can seem so magical. Sadly, the harsh reality has made most people neglect this amazing environment that we used to have.

Shame to admit, but to the majority of us, our unpolluted and innocent mind had long overpowered by our indecent greed. Embarrassed, I have to confess that I am one of those people who give in to power, status and wealth. I once came across this sentence while watching animal planet, “The earth can sacrifice for our NEEDS but not our GREED.” Indeed, these few words had but me into a huge amount of undesirable guilt.

This simple statement had placed me into intense thoughts. It makes it difficult for me not to wonder, how we could create such a chaos from this beautiful plain! I questioned what power does ‘advancement’ have? How can it influence us to such a point that we can indiscriminately rip up the ocean and cut up the trees? It is such a catastrophe that we are destroying nature in such a speed that before we even become aware of it, the damages were long beyond repair. It is heart breaking to imagine that our future generations will not have the chance to experience all the remarkable effects that nature had implanted upon us.

Nature has an extraordinary power. No matter how many times you look at it, it always seems so beautiful and the effects never dwindle. I asked myself, when will people start to acknowledge the fact that, no matter how much authority we’ve gained, how wealthy we are or how superior we’ve become... ... without nature, ultimately, it left us with nothing…

From: http://www.pennyparker2.com/nature.html stated that,

"Nature can bring a lot of beauty into our lives. Nature has a way of affecting our moods and it can force us to change our plans. Nature is responsible for the sun, clouds, rain, and snow. When it is sunny and bright outside, we feel cheerful inside. When it is cloudy and rainy, we often feel gloomy. When there is a beautiful and starry night, the moonlight makes us feel romantic.
When we see the leaves budding on a tree or when a timid flower pushes through the frozen ground, or when we smell the freshness of spring, new hope will always come to us. Nature is truly an intrinsic part of our lives.
When we wake and see a sunrise, when we walk and feel a breeze, when we gaze at the mountains and the splendor of the seas, when we see the earth renew its beauty at each season of the year, and when the stars shine at night, we should be so very thankful to the Lord for giving us all these wonderful and miraculous things. Learning to become more aware of nature can truly have a good effect on our lives in the way we look at things and in the way we feel about ourselves."
