It's good for the soul.
Sweeping over the specular scenery that the valleys and hills below us invigorate my senses and enters deeply into my body.
I stand, inhale deeply taking in the freshest of air that has been warmed by the morning sun and I feel a sense of calm within.
Sometimes I stand there feeling like I am the luckiest man alive to be able to experience this every day.
A new landscape every day it just warms your heart.
I remember staying with a friend of our in the heart of London with spectacular views of the banking and insurance district of the capital.
The Gherkin, Tower-42, The Walkie Talkie 20 Fenchurch Street, the once futuristic Lloyds of London and the Cheese Grater The Leadenhall Building reflect the tradition and innovation keeping the financial district at the top of the pile.
Another view takes in St Pauls Cathedral, Tower Bridge, The London Eye and the meandering River Thames.
We were lucky enough to spend a New Years Eve at the apartment and watched the fireworks dancing across the night sky as we welcomed in the start of the new calendar.
I remember a remark about perhaps you could get bored with the view after a while.
However, the London landscape is constantly evolving with cranes littering the vista building new towers changing the view. The light and weather also changes through the year providing a variety of sights to enjoy.
I think that it easy to get complacent leading to your senses dampening and not being alert to what is in front of you.
Same old, same old?
The landscape that we look out to every morning as we are awoken by the morning light gives us a jolt every so often to electrify our eyes and emotions.
It really is good for the soul.
A flash of pink in the morning sky, a sweep of yellow reflecting on the hills below and flashes of swallows littering the scene provides variety.
A clear view of Udawale Tank looking like it is floating in the sky or a thick mist wrapping itself around us is natures way of keeping us alert.
A change in weather bringing clouds that paint pictures for us to interpret and flashes of rain providing different shades for the greenery that surrounds us.
Catching the sun setting and delivering a kaleidoscope of colours warms the heart at the end of a wonderful day.
I admit I do have to kick myself every so often so that I appreciate what nature has given to us but, I am thankful when it does.
Experience the variety for yourself and revive your soul.
