Election, art and sunsets

We voted yesterday. I was amazed how many people were voting. I truly hope that all the early votes are for Kerry and not for Bush. I am also hoping against hope that people are voting Democrats for the Senate and House, so that if Bush does stay he is hamstrung by a Democratic House and Senate. That will at least minimize the damage. It can't prevent the stupidity,that is built in, but it can stop major legislation that further destroys the economy and the environment.

Going for a walk last right at sunset once again amazed me. The sunset last night was spectacular to say the least. The color and scope of the light in the sky was indescribable. A constantly changing range of pinks and yellows. Mainly pinks. The intensity and depth of color was breathtaking. Nature again trumps any invention of the human mind. In contrast we went to a rather unknown art gallery in New Braunfels earlier in the day. Firstly finding a real art gallery in New Braunfels was amazing to begin with. Finding one that has original art from Monet, Manet, Pizarro, Van Gogh, Rodin, Pollock and many others from the early 1900's was even more amazing. However, no art, no matter how great in the eyes of the art community could touch the images mother nature presented last night.
