what is the most beautiful thing in the world, to you?

me, i think sunsets (and the sky in general) are absolutley stunning and can't get enough of em - looking out on a beautiful pink & orange sky right now :)

From my personal life, karting tracks! Nothing like go-karting.


Other than that, I'd have to say Peechland, Tinks, Gide, Aerou, Shaed, Spar, Gael and the other one I doubtless missed.

awwwwww.....
*feels better*
*hugs*

sun setting over a race track with the race car getting in a few laps before its too dark, and you see the sillohuete of the car coming in over a crest....beautiful

I'm willing to bet you that if I had a kid, he/she would instantly become the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.

I think Poland is the most beautiful place in the world...

That's funny, cause I was actually about to vote for Chewbacca.

Of course Poland wins!

Shooting a insterment approach down and breaking out close to or at minimums. Seeing that lit up runway just as you pop out of the clouds is one beutiful site.

awwwwww.....

There's this girl...

Peechland ... and second to that :) existance in and of itself ... hard to explain

hell yeah! :)

Sometimes the balance of the universe amazes me. For example, how many physics equations just work, and are so simple when you compare them to the rest of the universe. Which is odd, since this sounds very much like a creationist "proof" of God. Sucks that I'm atheist and that I like maths and physics.

one evening last week my brother and sister were driving me up the wall arguing so i went out to the highest point on our land and looked out towards Lake Winermere (I can just about see the far end of it) and just sat there whilst the sun set, it was so beautiful! no roads or cars or even houses, just miles of hills and grass and Windermere and the sky was all pretty, the forst time I was grateful for my brother and sister arguing

damn straight, sunsets + landscape = fuckin beautiful

Julia.

And its a pity that she can never know....

tubgirl

damn straight, sunsets + landscape = fuckin beautiful
yeah, nearly makes me not wanna leave home

Id have to say that I really enjoy nature, in all of its many forms. Theres nothing as nice as appreciating the most complex array of beauty this world we live in has to offer.

Included in this, Id have to say there aren't many things as nice as seeing a gorgeous girl smiling, with light in her eyes an just a little fire to her touch. Theres something about a beautiful lady that makes all the troubles of life melt away.

Other than that, I'd have to say Peechland, Tinks, Gide, Aerou, Shaed, Spar, added: Gael, Passive Cookies, Jamil, Oksana, Gorgamin, oh hell... all of you! I cant be bothered to type all these names!! and the one I doubtless missed.

Exactly - good work Sanc!

(and to: you know who you are!) ;)

There was this one time when I was in Canda, skiing. It was late afternoon, and I was skiing through the middle of a little valley, snow was gently falling and the sun was getting quite low in the sky.

When I looked up at it, it looked like it had a black ring around it's bright yellow/white light, and all the light that shone down had black lines in too. I don't know if my eyes were playing me, but it's the most beautiful thing i've ever seen, and i'll never forget it.

yeah, nearly makes me not wanna leave home
my room, back in southampton, was in the loft and looked out over most of the city, towards the sunset. i looked out of there (pretty much) every night for years, just to watch the sunset. i miss that, but then again, uni rocks! :D

i find beauty in far too many things.
blue skies on a freezing cold day
the ocean , flat and gray before it rains,
the natural death cases that i work on, before they are made up,they look very very peaceful.
men. far too many of them ;)
i could go on and on and on and on, but what i would rather choose to say is :
appreciate your surroundings. once one ceases to become critical, doors open up .

Exactly - good work Sanc!

:eek:
Thanks Lasc, now I know who I forgot. Gael, can you ever forgive me?

you really are a very odd lady!

For me of course I love sunsets.

By the far the most beautiful thing that I have done or seen is canoenig on a calm placid lake. The rhythm of the pattle dipping into the water, the peace absolute, in untouched wilderness for me has yet to be surpassed.

Watching the sunset while on the beach is awesome. If you ever go to NZ, head north to 90 mile beach (actually it's only 60 miles but we're not allowed to mention that). It faces due West. You can drive on it, so it's easy to find a secluded spot. Watching the Sun sink into the Tasman Sea is pretty damn spectacular.
Another lovely thing is lying out in the grass on a Summer's night and watching satelites and shooting stars. Coming from the countryside where this was so easy to do, I didn't realise just how awesome it was until I got to HK. I'm lucky to see the full Moon here, what with all the air and light pollution.

:eek: i so have to do that!

I live in Ireland and to me the most beautiful thing is coming home from a long trip and flying over all the green fields and lakes and all the things that make you homesick and then taking my kayak out into the sea as soon as i get home and just floating there looking back at everything looking so peaceful. The only noise is the lapping of the water against my kayak. Its the most hypnotising thing i've ever experienced. At that one moment nothing seems wrong and everything seems possible. Nothing can ever beat that feeling.

:eek: i so have to do that!
take me with you!

English twilight, walking to a country pub.

My son's laughter, and the grin on his face when he's laughing. My daughter playing.

There's this girl...

yes...she's very beautiful. This is a nice thread.

Hong Kong at sunrise and at sunset. Absolutely beautiful.

Oh yeah, that too. And don't forget about looking out over an audience from a stage, especially when you're playing kick-ass Rock 'n' Roll. Now that's fucking beautiful.

My girlfriend Melanie. Damn she's beautiful.

It's going to sound all sad and geeky, but I really think that nebulae and the products of supernovae are the most beautiful things in the universe. Have you ever seen the hourglass nebula? (http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/image/astro/hst_hourglass_nebula.jpg)

I must admit... That looks quite nice.

To just pick one thing is utterly impossible. To even list the top ones is probably impossible as well. For me, that is.

Those are amazing, but seeing a picture of it deadens its appeal. You need the real thing to get a grasp of its grandeur, and I have never seen a nebula, obviously.

The sad thing is, you could only ever see them as 2D images. To get close enough to see them in true detail would take forever, and to see them as 3D would be impossible as you'd have to get within the cloud to get close enough. I make do by adding another (http://canopy.lmsal.com/schryver/Public/homepage/images/eagleneb.jpg) image

My girlfriend, and my friends, without question. They transcend physical beauty entirely. (Though my girlfriend IS a heck of a looker xD)

The ocean right before a hurricane.
Lightning in a black sky.
Spider webs with dew on them.
Kittens right at the time they're learning to walk.
Bare trees coated with frost.
Fields of bluebonnets that go on for miles.
Goran Visnjic.
Fruit trees in bloom.
A dark room full of candles.
Wolves and big cats in their natural settings.

agreed. nebulas rock & look pretty. wasps are horrible (sorry Gnostikos)

An open umbrella on an operating table. Oh, sorry. Thinking surrealist.

Really, it's cliche, but a baby/toddler laughing. I can't help but smile and feel like I drank a beer or two when I hear that.

what is the most beautiful thing in the world, to you?
Sunsets rank high, indeed, but I would have to say that the most beautiful thing in the world is a laugh.

wasps are horrible (sorry Gnostikos)
Oh, it's ON! A few days ago I saw one as I was walking (it was pretty warm out that day), and I watched it for something like 20 minutes, until I had to address pressing matters. It was awesome.

The night sky... and the stars that go on forever. *sigh* sleeping under the stars.... how beautiful and numinous...

hmmmmm..... i think the sun setting over the ocean is just the most beautiful thing..... so pretty! :)

You can come and look at them with my gigantic telescope :D

Seriously, how anyone can deny that anything to do with celestial bodies is anything but inspiring is beyond me. Even sunsets are involved with the sun, so they rock.

There's this girl...

There, you said it for me.

Sunsets bore me, but I fake it on dates.

The nighttime sky though is, well... it leaves me speechless.

i could be vulgar (lol), but i'll keep this clean:

1)A Green Bay Packers victory

2)Family gathered around the Christmas tree, handing out presents and generally having a good time

3)The view of the stars whilst standing on the Rainbow Flowage levy in Northern Wisconsin. (i'll describe):

You drive down a little county road into the middle of nowhere... take a right onto this little dirt road... drive in and park before you drive into the water.

Get out of the car. Hopefully you will have brought a flashlight. Head into the woods on a 5-foot-wide path. Walk for about 15 minutes. STAY ON THE PATH!

You will see a clearing ahead... soon after that you will have reached the Rainbow Flowage levy, which is a narrow (maybe 20 feet wide) strip of land, maybe an eighth of a mile long, which is bordered by a very large body of water on one side (the Reservoir) and a very large pond on the other.

You can see the entire sky... it is an awesome place.

Seeing genuine love in action is tops but I also very much enjoy the following:
Sunsets in a variety of locations

Standing on the top of a 14K+ ft. mountain top and looking out over the world

Lite fluffy snow falling and gracefully covering the ugly winter ground like Christ covers our sins

Sunrises from a variety of locations

A Bald Eagle in flight over a high mountain river

A flock of Indigo Buntings

A solitary stag, elk, Big Horn sheep, mountain goat or moose on a mountainous rock outcrop with a background of menacing clouds

A moon siloetted loone on a glassy night lake

Any variety of mountainous splender (high Rocky mountain aspen turning colors in the fall

The Aurora Borealous

A Star lit night on a mountain top with no light polution

A breaching Right Whale

A new born seal with white fur on a snowy white iceburg

Most any and all physical atributes of my wife :D :D :D :D :D

I could go on and on, but these are some of my favorites

Must be nice. Here in Tampa, there';s so much light pollution, those nights are rare, and the drives to good spots are far.

Steak: After 12 years of vegetarianism, steaks are good, indeed! :D

You go on about wasps like Dali. :)
Well, I'm really into entomology. And Hymenoptera happens to be my favourite order. But what do you mean by that? Assuming your referring to Salvador Dali, I don't think he had anything special wasps.

Sunsets bore me
How is that possible?

How is that possible?

if nothing else it is sad... they can be quite breathtaking

Oh, god. I forgot about the Aurora. Seeing them properly for the first time...

Well, I'm really into entomology. And Hymenoptera happens to be my favourite order. But what do you mean by that? Assuming your referring to Salvador Dali, I don't think he had anything special wasps.
Dali even went so far as to create a secret recipe for the oil painter's glazing medium that included wasps as the "magic ingredient", such was his fascination with them. And ants. He really believed social insects held a secret worth trying to figure out. (Read "50 Secrets of Magic Craftsmansip" if you're an artist of any kind. Great advice.)

How is that possible?
Maybe I'm just jaded having grown up on the Florida coast.

A mother with her child.

I know its terribly cliche, but...

There's this certain look that m'love gets, when he's particularly happy/comfortable/love-y. His eyes just light up, and crinkle up at the edges, and he gives this smile...I love that look. Its a wonderful feeling, seeing that look, and knowing I did it. Of course, after that we just stare sappily at eachother for a few minutes, and that's quite beautiful as well. :p

Second to that, I'd have to say this one sunset I saw. I was in Kiawah Island, South Carolina, and it was my last day. I was at the very end of the island, and there was a pod of dolphins playing, just as the sun was setting, in more shades of pink and gold and blue than I thought possible. And the entire beach seemed to sing with it. It was incredible, and I can still remember it perfectly to this day.

My top 4:
The deepest ocean
The Sky at night
(the two things least touched by man, i now realise.)
The beaches of home,in the height of summer, as the sun is just dipping below the horizon and the wind is just begginniin, and the grasses and trees of the nature reserve sway... (hard to believe i come from England, eh?)
A girl smiling (at me, preferably). Any Girl. It always makes me feel wonderful. If this is combined with any of the above, than i just melt into a feint...

I knew he had something for ants, but I didn't know that extended to other eusocial insects. That's pretty awesome...seeing as he also happens to be one of my favourite artists. And, if anyone here says that he was a kitsch-meister, I will find you and hunt you down with my bare hands. MY BARE HANDS, DAMNIT! It pisses the hell out of me when people say such things in light of such incredible artwork.

omg! She's so cute.

Thanks. :p

Some of the stuff in this thread has made me wish I'd experienced it. My God, I'm 18 and I want children. Help me, please - tell me stories about lack of sleep and poo filled nappies to put me off (for now)!

I'm also envious of those of you who have love. I've only done the meaningless fling thing, and I don't see the point in it anymore.

OK, sorry, this thread has just got me surprisingly depressed for a thread about beauty.

:rolleyes: And, if anyone here says that he was a kitsch-meister, I will find you and hunt you down with my bare hands. MY BARE HANDS, DAMNIT! It pisses the hell out of me when people say such things in light of such incredible artwork.
Agreed. THose same people need an art education. This month's issue of one of the most respected art journals (forget which, read it at the library), has a great article on this same topic you've raised.
Dali was the bridge between surrealism and pop... period. Without Dali, no pop.

And his later works are much more relevant today than they used to be based on the current direction modern art has taken in the past 10 years.

Plus he's dead now, which means he can be taken seriously without shame. :rolleyes:

You guys will have kids one day. :)
i most definitely wont...

I here you Nadkor. I maybe will have one tops.

If it's depressing you then think of a vagina opening to the size of a watermelon. Does that help?

EDIT: It doesn't even matter that you're not female (I assume), just accept the happy drugs!

You don't want "e-children". I have "e-children". They have siblings by a completely different father(two fathers). I'm not married and have had them by a guy who's married. My mom must be proud. :rolleyes:

I see. You can always adopt. Maybe by the time yo have kids they'll be more options.

yes...it sucks alot

I see. You can always adopt. Maybe by the time yo have kids they'll be more options.
actually, i dont know what the law is with adoption and transsexuals in the UK...because, you can register as the "new" sex and get a new birth certificate, passport etc...so i dont know, maybe youre able to adopt as a female with your birth certificate and all...i just dont know

The view out my window right about now. It's 10 in the morning on a beautiful sunny day. Gum trees, dry grass a few leaves falling for autumn... sun shining all around, well u can imagine, i think it's beautiful any way... *glares at anyone willing to disagree*

Apart from that: a smile, seriously people faces are so happy when they smile. But yeah lotsa things are beautiful so i don't know what THE most beautiful is...

Music

A people's revolution. The days of the revolution when people know they are aiming to change their nation for the better, when they take to the streets, and everybody talks to each other as is if they have known each other for years, and people are chanting, and singing.

Beautiful.

Hong Kong at sunrise and at sunset. Absolutely beautiful.
Yep, taking a cruise on Victoria Harbour at night is awesome. If you can't afford a private cruise, just get the Star Ferry over to Tsim Sha Tsui and back. Costs $2.20HK (so around a quarter or $0.15Euro) each way. Has to be the cheapest Tourist ride in the World.
The buildings here put on lightshows which are incredible. The whole building lights up and changes colour, with lasers lights flashing from the top.

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen is the look in my grandchildrens' eyes when they look at me. I see all of their love, trust, and their potential. Knowing that they will carry some part of me and pass it on is so awesome!!

damnit everyone stop saying "family" or "children" cos it's depressing me i don't have any :( :(

still, i look forward to a 'blood' family

That is the ultimate fulfillment for most people. I can honestly say that I have never regretted not having my own children. I can't imagine loving children I gave birth to any more than I love my adopted kids. If I had to do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing...except maybe adopt a couple more kids. :D

The most beautiful thing in the world is Spaam :fluffle:

I'm sorry I'm being nosey, you don't have to answer but did you just choose to adopt or could you not have them?


and i want like 10 kids, whether I have to adopt them or not!

Shooting a insterment approach down and breaking out close to or at minimums. Seeing that lit up runway just as you pop out of the clouds is one beutiful site.

I've never flown in cloudy weather, but as a student pilot I look forward to seeing this.

The Brahms trio sonatas are pretty darn beautiful, although not visually...

As it turned out, I wasn't able to have children. But, from when I first started thinking of my future family, before I had a clue that I wouldn't be able to conceive, I planned on adopting. My philosophy was why have more children when there were so many who needed someone to love them.

and that is a wonderful philosophy, I'd definately consider adopting, especially since I want such a big family lol

Adoption is wonderful!! One of my sons and his wife adopted both of their children. So it looks like I passed the idea along. I don't know if any of the TV stations in your area run a program regularly showcasing children that need a good foster home or adoptive parents to love them. But, if you have ever watched one of those programs and wanted to take all of the kids into your home and heart, then adoption is right for you. So many of these kids have had a rough start. To watch them open up and grow and succeed with your love and guidance has to be one of the most wonderful feelings in the world.

Yep, taking a cruise on Victoria Harbour at night is awesome. If you can't afford a private cruise, just get the Star Ferry over to Tsim Sha Tsui and back. Costs $2.20HK (so around a quarter or $0.15Euro) each way. Has to be the cheapest Tourist ride in the World.
The buildings here put on lightshows which are incredible. The whole building lights up and changes colour, with lasers lights flashing from the top.

You can see this for a quarter!


Now that's what I'm talking about!

This discussion makes me feel kinda bad. I ran away from two foster families and I guess they were just trying to help me. But that's in the past now, I'm with me real daddy.

Don't feel bad. People aren't always able to step back and take an objective look. Sometimes we all just go with our emotions...right or wrong. What's important, is that you have matured enough to recognize your former foster families' good intentions. That's a really big step. I'm glad that you and your birth dad are able to be together as it seems to be where you wanted to be.

PM stop worrying because you don't have children. All of you will have them some day. You're like what, 20? My friend is 18 and is due in May. She has no idea what the hell to do with a child. Yo don't want to be inthat situation, do you? Just wait, you'll see. You will have kids someday.

Isn't that the evergreen game? And clean up your spelling, it's appalling.

And anyway, to further on my previous post, Poland because having been there I can appreciate the simple beauty of the things like the ancient castles, and the frost on the trees on cold mornings. Lovely. Liv Tyler, well you can guess.

That's so sweet Preebs, but way too much information :) !

Aaaaaaaaalriiiighty then...

The New York City skyline, especially at night. I think the skylines of big cities are the most beautiful things in the world. To me they represent life, they represent people. It's like when you walk into a house and it just feels lived in, big cities feel lived in, full of hopes, fears, joy, sorrow, laughter and tears. They are the hustle, bustle, and energy of humanity.

One of three things:

1) Looking into the eyes of the girl I love, and feeling happy with everything, everywhere, everywhen.

2) When I climbed to the top of a mountain in the Rockies last year, and just as I got to the top, the sun came out, the clouds lifted, and for miles around all I could see was the sun reflecting off of snow-covered mountains. Absolutely stunning, probably the first time scenery has truly taken my breath away.

3) An open road, a sunny day, no speed cameras, no police, and my kit car = perfect day. B-Road blast anyone?

I agree, Zooke. And it's deeply touching and humbling when they come back to you years and years later and say, "Dad, I don't know what on earth would have happened to me if you hadn't married mom [ or if you hadn't adopted me ] and I just have so much admiration and love for you and what you did for me." My oldest step-daughter said that to me just a year or so ago. I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried.

That's so sweet, tough guy. :D I know you had to be a great dad.

That's another one of my favorites. It's really the greatest city in the world, and nobody can deny that (though some are indeed biased, but who cares).

Potaria, I can see wanting to leave Houston, but I fail to see how Pittsburg would be an improvement. The only thing that enters my mind besides the Steelers and pollution when I think of Pittsburg is "Queer as Folk."

I see that you've not seen Pitt in the last fifteen years. It's got far less pollution than Houston, the people are great, the food is even better than that, and it's got some of the best scenery around. And I don't watch "Queer as Folk". I don't get Showtime :D.

And it's Pittsburgh... Damnit!

Move to Austin. It's closer and warmer. Warmer is always a plus in my book. I hate cold weather.
Poor you, no Showtime. I don't watch it for anything purient, like all those nude male bodies- nooo, not me. It's that fine writing. :p

Skylines at night have to be one of the most beautiful things in the world.

Particularly Sydney's :p

Another thing I find beautiful on this world is snow. Comind down nice and hard in a huge snowstorm with lightning and thunder, and then seeing a whitened scenery after the storm, with subzero air tugging at my face. :)

It will be even more beautiful once I find that special someone to cuddle up with, and maybe even more... ;)

Death. I plan for mine to be spectaculiar.

i always find myself staring at thunder clouds when they still are pure white and forming massive flowing mountains as high as you can see

Pittsburgh's got a better climate... Then again, I was always one for cold weather. After all, it is easier to be active when it's not so hot outside.

Oh, I do fine. I've got HBO... Damnit!

The most beautiful things in the world:

--My nephews faces when they're sleeping
--The eyes of the man I love
--The sound of peeper frogs and the smell of peppermint on a summer's night
--Fireflies
--Rosehips and snowfall

Awwww, shucks :p

Yeah, that's pretty cool. I find when you're somewhere totally isolated, with no human activity to see as far as the eye can stretch, a storm is truly awe inspiring.

women. and stars. but mostly women, they're just plain gorgeous.
