Things that appear beautiful from far away can sometimes be not so attractive when you’re close up. The cracks, blemishes, or trash around the object detracts. Or sometimes, the closer you get, you see more intricate details and brilliant colors, and the true beauty reveals itself. Here are two sets of pictures, far away and close, for you to consider. Let me know…which is more beautiful to you, far away or so close? Slainte, Lisa

Think About These Things 
all beautiful photos, but I love seeing them upclose 🙂 thank you!
Thanks for chiming in….we now have a running tally of 3 up close and 1 far away. Have a great day! Lisa
This is food for thought….wheels are turning about so many things! In this case though, up close!!
Well, that’s two votes so far for up close, you and Ed. I don’t know why, there is probably some wierd meaning to this 🙂 , but I like the far away ones.
Opposites attract?! 😉
I like that!
I like the first one close and the second far away.
Thanks for the input, Peter! So, in recap, most people like the up close and personal, with a few voting for the far away. Anyone venturing to guess at any big meaning to this is welcome to fire away. 🙂 haha
I’m with Peter. I liked the first one close up and the second far away.
A meeting of the minds…cool! 🙂 Enjoy the day, Jeff.
