Location Taken: Deception Point, Washington
Time Taken: June 2010
I wonder if those who grew up in the Pacific Northwest really understand how mind-boggling tall their trees are. I’ve visited the area several times and I still spend a lot of time just staring at trees. You look up, and up, and up some more, and the tree keeps going…
It’s similar to how I felt when I lived in Chicago, now that I think on it. Instead of trees, it was buildings, but the concept was the same.
I wonder if others feel the same sort of way about things I’m accustomed to. I don’t really consider Washington DC and all its history and museums all that impressive. But people I know keep listing it as a place they really want to visit.
It’s all just what you’re used to having around you, I guess. Perhaps you, the reader, should take a moment to appreciate the everyday wonders around you, be it city or farm or forest or anything in between. I certainly am.
