Impossible - a photo on Flickriver

Impossible

            This is one of the most famous vistas in the world and it is truly one of the most impossible to photograph. That may sound like a bit of a dumb statement considering how beautiful it is and that you have a very nice flat viewing platform with which to enjoy it. The reason that I say this is because the landscape is so incredible that no photograph will ever truly do it justice. It is a place that you have to experience for yourself. The second reason that I named this image "Impossible" is because in truth this isn't a place that magically formed over billions of years worth of random collisions and dramatic weather events and climate change. When you actually take a moment to just sit and look at this place and drive into the valley while viewing the towering granite peaks and roaring waterfalls all around you, it is clearly evident that there is so much intentionality in this place. See, catastrophic weather events can certainly create some beautiful things, but they cannot do so on their own accord. A flood may have power, but it does not have creativity, precision, intellect, or love. Rather a loving Creator is continually creating even while using broken things and catastrophic events to create something infinitely more beautiful than random chance could ever accomplish. If we actually take a moment to take in the beauty of creation all around us, it is extremely evident that there is a highly intelligent, insanely creative, and unimaginably powerful Creator behind all of this. His name is Jesus!
