We watched great Sea Eagles come down from their mighty cliffs to feed on a glorious summer evening, amongst many other delights of nature. The awesome sunsets and majestic scenery certainly made me feel close to God when faced with the wonders of his creation.

Enough to conjure a tear or two... "Spellbinding" was the word used by A.N.Other to describe her experience to me. A scene and experience touched by the finger of God, imparting a brief glimpse of Eternity. Thank You Kelvin.

“Spellbinding” was the word used by A.N.Other to describe her experience to me.
A scene and experience touched by the finger of God, imparting a brief glimpse of Eternity.
Thank You Kelvin.

More please!
