I was just trying to be funny, as i love nature and your picture inspired me to take a hike tomorrow. I’ve been sitting too much in front of the screen, as a developer it’s unavoidable, that’s why it may be even more so important to stay active, exercise and to touch grass.

Edit: yes, just letting the view sink in, seems to spark a lot of positive things in your body chemistry. I didn’t remember the source, but it also stated that the “awesomeness” of view relates to the level said body chemistry responds.

When i lived in Brazil, i had the view of the ocean, until the horizon, from my balcony. The sight of the coast is incredible. It was possible to observe a Storm hundreds of miles away, making its way down, while we were enjoying the beach, the storm would take at least a day to reach our location.

Just remembering and picturing the vast ocean gives me comfort and ease of mind.

I also miss a spontaneous surfing spot, a few meters away from home, but I’m sure i would fail so hard, if I tried riding a wave, after 30 years not doing so.
