I'm writing this letter today to inform you the world is lit by splendor, a splendor of color, and line, and shape. Where ever you are now, take a minute to look around and see for yourself. (Go ahead, I'll wait). Sometimes splendor is easy to see. Sometimes not. It may not jump out and say "Look at me!" It may be disguised as the ordinary, the everyday, the mundane. And sometimes splendor is nothing tangible at all. Sometimes it's the ineffable sense of a place, or a fleeting moment of awareness. Or sometimes it's the feeling of something much larger than yourself.
Below are 3 images from the Midwest that have nice color, line, and shape, and offer a glimpse of splendor. Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Doug
Sincerely,
Doug

Well spoken - and well shot - particularly like the calligraphy.
