The Shadow of God in Poland and the Czech Republic

Gabriela Mistral, a Nobel Prize winning Chilean poet, said “beauty…is the shadow of God on the universe.”

We found these pictures from our friends over at Colossal.  The Polish photographer, Boguslaw Strempel, climbs mountains in Poland and the Czech Republic and captures the moment when the rising sun hits the fog.

You can find more pictures from Boguslaw Strempel here.

Henry David Thorea said that “I believe there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.”  There is something inside of us that resonates with beauty in nature-could it be the magnificent display of the holiness of God that we are drawn to?

Do you agree? What strikes you most about photos like these?
