north pole sunset

 

"This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point last week.
a scene you will probably never get to see in person, so take a moment and enjoy God at work at the North Pole.
And, you also see the sun below the moon, an amazing photo and not one easily duplicated. 
You may want to pass it on to others so they can enjoy it.
The Chinese have a saying that goes something like this:
'When someone shares with you something of value, 
you have an obligation to share it with others!' 
I just did.. Your turn"

A friend sent this to us.  Isn't it beautiful? 

I like the passage too - reminds us of just how much God doesn't need us - God's been having fun creating effects like this for untold millenia.  I've heard it said that we are here because God wanted His or Her handiwork to be appreciated.  My question is - How good a job are we doing at that?  Is that really our top priority?

I wondered why we've never seen a picture of this before - well, maybe it is a hoax, but it's still beautiful, and the Universe has indeed been making beautiful 'effects' for millenia before the Almighty Ape appeared on the scene to appreciate it. I like the notion that our Big Brains are here to witness the wonder of Nature - Nature Seeing Nature, and all of that. Cheerio!
