I have been trying to just observe and absorb with my eyes for these first seven days of Lent. Here are the Awe-inspiring images I saw this week. Most of them are from nature, but the ceiling of the DC Metro at Gallery Place Station is a geometric treat.The altar with bread and wine on the first Sunday of Lent was at Wellshire Presbyterian Church in Denver.

Although not really capturing the magnificence of a Colorado sunrise or a mountain vista, I am totally spoiled by and grateful for the instant gratification of taking pictures with my phone. Whether God-made or man-made, the photos of these sights increase my sense of wonder and awe for creation and creativity.

“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Ps 118:24 NRSV)
