I am still reveling in the beauty and audacity of Hell's Gate National Park near Naivasha, Kenya.  From its high hills, we were able to see far across the Great Rift Valley, including nearby Lake Naivasha and the crater of a volcano.  In the photo, on the left, steam rises from geothermal vents (some harnessed for energy).  At the same time, we were riding our bikes through wild herds of zebra and eland, and passing grazing gazelle, giraffe, impala and warthogs. The collective impact of that day's experience stands out to me as awesome.  With the hymnodist I sing: "All nature sings and 'round me rings the music of the spheres." - John Franklin Hay
