While I was on the tightly packed hot air balloon and looking to fly
over the Ancient pagodas(temples) in Bagan , Myanmar when I
met with disappointment as we were told it was not a great day in
terms of weather for flying over them in a balloon. While people
were haggling for the best spots to make the most of what we saw
I decided to stay put and make the most of what I had. Then is
when I looked down and saw these wonderful patterns with crop ,
people and cattle . Appreciating the great geometry in nature I
wondered what God saw no matter who we are from up above
there ?
