It's been a long week, and I don't even know what to make of anything, but I LOVE THE SUBLIME. I conceptualize things poorly, and often assume too much when explaining things, but these pictures show man at the mercy of nature entirely. Except maybe the castle, which simply appears spooky. All the other ones suspend emotion with a degree of terror. I love that terror governs sublime by way of its awe-inspiring unknowableness. Though the coolest aspect of the sublime to me, is that in order to access the sublime one must value the ordinary - which connects via a close proximity the relationship between man and divine and the accessibility of god, i think.
