Why are some images so appealing to us that they actually seem to soothe the mind? I look at this picture of a sunset I took from busselton jetty recently and if I let it my mind is transported to a calm warm place. Really there are just photons hitting my retina in a particular pattern and hue but my imagination does the rest. The mind is an incredible beast but perhaps you could say also fickle in its moods and easily swayed.
Rambled musings... hope you like the image too :D
