...is the part of creation in which nature has done more for the
sake of pleasing man....there is not a moment of any day of our lives,
when nature is not producing scene after scene, picture after picture,
glory after glory, and working stillupon such exquisite and constant
principles of the most perfect beauty, that it is quite certain it is
all done for us, and intended for our perpetual pleasure.
~John Ruskin,
"Of the Open Sky"
