MAN vs GOD.
Angkor Wat vs Angel Falls. Valley of the Kings vs the Grand Canyon. Teotihuacan vs Ayers Rock.

You get the idea. For me the works of man win hands down over the wonders of nature. I'm infinitely more interested in and impressed by, say, the New York skyline than I am by the mountains of New Zealand. But what about you, you insufferable cunts?

manmade stuff stirs the soul too
I'm not a religionist, but it's hard not to be moved by artistry and skill involved in a cathedral for example.

Visit the Sagrade Familia in Barcelona (or many of Gaudi's buildings) and if you aren't moved by it then you need a beating.

I think you missed a pun...
Cathedrals are ace, I always wondered how the architect must have felt knowing they would never see their design realised as they would be long dead by the time it was finished.
(

Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 18 May 2010, 9:13, Reply)

I deliberately glossed over it
it is quite weird. I can never get my head around how they actually built them. How much they planned out what shape the stonework would be, and how many bits and what shape they should be.

amazing things.

The cathedral was designed by hanging weights on a lattice work of string
thuis creating an upside down skelton for the building. This apparently showed how the loads worked together.
(

Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 18 May 2010, 9:55, Reply)

I've seen the model
fucking awesome idea. the weights were scaled to represent the loads from the structure, and the strings described the perfect arch shape to support them.

Stonehenge is little more than a few stones put together
What makes it impressive is the wondering how they managed to arrange them like that without any technology.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 18 May 2010, 9:15, Reply)

that's the beauty of manmade stuff
particularly stuff like that. Not only is it awesome to look at, but it is thought provoking as well.

I do enjoy a good landscape, and natural features can be pretty amazing, but in a different way to manmade.

Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 18 May 2010, 9:16, Reply)

That's the point I was originally trying to make
Great buildings, bridges or ships are massively impresive, but after the original "wow" the next reaction is to try and understand the mechanics of it. Nature is affecting at a more basic level.

So often they defile Nature.

Although you have something here. There is something about the English cathedral which seeme to emulate the majesty of nature - as is intended I suppose.
Picture a field, and in it a solitary oak grown to full size. Now think of Salibury's spire. Which would you look at for longer?
And Durham - or Boston - cathedrals look like the rocks faith claims to be built on.

I think both can be impressive.
There's something awe inspiring about being in the mountains but then the same can be said for the great buildings of the world.
I would say that nature is almost always beautiful. Where as most places that are built by man are rubbish.

You want to win? There you have your prize.

(Sorry, it's difficult, I always get confused on the internet about what's real and what's a joke. From my comment about the periods I'm just joking, obviously Nature doesn't menstruate. I'm not sure if you're going with the joke or getting upset with me and thinking I'm silly)

not upset at all :-)
what I meant was that I don't see it as a competition to win or lose. (not this time anyway)

Well of course it does.
Cretaceous, Jurassic etc - you don't mean to say that the natural world menstruates, do you? That would be idiotic.

Engaged.
I think more of women being fucked due to the penetrative nature of copulation.

But I kind of see your point.

In that case, Nature gives birth to new live, therefore, a woman.

I think that was the idea behind 'Mother' nature
because nature is supposed to have all the nurturing and giving aspects that a woman has. Plus one hell of a temper.

That wonderful someone
Who makes the stars all shine
Who fashioned the mountains
To reach to the sky
Who brings each tomorrow
Who hears every prayer
In sunshine or sorrow
If you call he'll be there

That wonderful someone
Who makes the flowers grow
Who paints every sunset
With colors that glow
Look all around you
And these wonders youll see
Designed by that someone
For you and for me

American Spirit is the best rolling tobacco
it's drier - more like straights - and less strong flavoured than most rolling baccy which I find overpowers the taste of hash/grass to an unacceptable degree.

I've a soft spot for mountains and valleys and rolling hills and all that crap. One of my favourite spots I've ever been to is Rannoch Moor - 50km² of peat bog and the largest uninhabited area in the British Isles. Sounds perfect, doesn't it?

There are exceptions, obviously: even some of nature's most remarkable creations pale in comparison to the Gibson SG.
