Lost in the Beauty of It All

Jane: What was amazing about it?
Ricky: When you see something like that, it's like God is looking right at you, just for a second. And if you're careful, you can look right back.
Jane: And what do you see?
Ricky: Beauty.

i watched this documentary show about tigers in africa.. the expedition team took two tigers to the beach, hoping that there would be enough water for the tigers to live there. they were also accompanied by a bushman native as their 'navigator'.

when they arrived at the beach, the tigers was rathered err..sheepish being so near to the water and having their fur soaked.
while the bushman guy, who has never before seen the ocean in his life, stood still in awe for a few minutes.

later he said that he "can not understand how there can be so many water, how the water (waves) can be so noisy, how the water can be so alive, one wave reach your knee and the other one is already coming your way"
and he also said " i can not understand how God Almighty can make it so beautiful and big"

for a reason unknown but not unfamiliar to me, i started to get goosebump and starry-eyes the moment i watched that scene. it was so honest and yet so profound.

well enuff said, here are some images in which i was lost for a moment.
