This week I read Time Magazine’s expose on the current state of affairs in the global warming issue (which I will review on WTC next week), and it got me thinking: how much time do we really spend thinking about the things we are trying to “save”?
The answer: probably not enough. Anyway, I figured I would end the work week with a few fantastic and breathtaking photos I picked up from my Stumble-Upon friends. I have added some inspirational quotes to make your experience with these pics more valuable. Enjoy!

-George Pope Morris

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
“If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes”

“Seek the lofty by reading, hearing and seeing great work at some moment every day”
