There is beauty all around us, if we would just take the time to look.

On a recent Photo Trek I came across an Extreme Mountain Biker who was cycling rather quickly and jumping over and off rocks, after watching in awe as he performed his fast paced and aggressive sport for awhile, I turned around to capture what I had gone out for in the first place, which was the sun setting.

It was then that my focus was drawn away slightly from the beautiful sunset, and I stood back a little shocked and amazed that the Extreme Mountain Biker I was watching earlier, who was so focused in his sport had stopped suddenly right in front of me.

He just stood there motionless and in amazement at the stunning sunset happening before him.

I think the event was rather touching and made me think of the title of this article "There is beauty all around us, if we would just take the time to look."

Below is a photo i took of the Extreme Mountain Biker taking in the beautiful sunset.

Perhaps we could all take a leaf from that Cyclist, and open our eyes.
