Often times the things most common to us are the things we overlook. By definition, you would think something with the quality of sublimity would be so grandiose that it’s rendered almost impossible to miss, but this picture represents the complete opposite. The clouds are inanimate cogs in the machine of nature, so out of reach that we often forget about their splendor. Whilst on the plane ride where this picture was taken, I was struck by the view and realized that something so common can look so amazing given an alternate perspective. The same goes for many things all around us that we take for granted. While sublimity may entail splendor and magnificence, often the plain and basic things around us fit the bill, they just need to be examined under a different lens or view.
