Burke discerned two radically distinct responses to beauty in general, and to natural beauty in particular: one originating in love, the other in fear. When we are attracted by the harmony, order and serenity of nature, so as to feel at home in it and confirmed by it, then we speak of its beauty; when, however, as on some wind-blown mountain crag, we experience the vastness, the power, the threatening majesty of the natural world, and feel our own littleness in the face of it, then we should speak of the sublime. Both these responses are elevating; both lift us out of the ordinary utilitarian thoughts that dominate our practical lives.

The Age of Chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished for ever. Never, never more, shall we behold the generous loyalty to rank and sex, that proud submission, that dignified obedience, that subordination of the heart, which kept alive, even in servitude itself, the spirit of an exalted freedom. The unbought grace of life, the cheap defence of nations, the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic enterprise is gone!
- Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France

I found out this photos from Burke, Idaho. In 1800s, this was a mining town and it had two train tracks passing through the buildings, but with the time the mine was abandoned and with it the entire settlement.

This photo is one of the most entertaining and interesting to me: this is the Tiger Hotel, the only one available at that time. Trains used to pass right through it, you can see that the building is literally cut in two by the railway. Those two windows are the passage from the lobby to the rooms. Then my mind started to wander-
