Yesterday a friend told me about this INCREDIBLE duet by Andrea Bocelli & Laura Pausini, singing the beautiful life affirming song "Dare to Live (Vivere), so listening to that song inspired me to buy it on iTunes and use it as the backdrop for some of the photos I've taken of the majestic beauty all around us in nature. The photos are just a few of the many thousands I've taken over the years during travels around the USA. Here are the inspirational lyrics to this song: Try looking at tomorrow not yesterday And all the things you left behind All those tender words you did not say The gentle touch you couldn't find In these days of nameless faces There is no one truth but only pieces My life is all I have to give Dare to live until the very last Dare to live forget about the past Dare to live giving something of yourself to others Even when it seems there's nothing more left to give Ma se tu vedessi l'uomo Davanti al tuo portone Che dorme avvolto in un cartone, Se tu ascoltassi il mondo una mattina Senza il rumore della pioggia, Tu che puoi creare con la tua voce, Tu, pensi i pensieri della gente, Poi, di Dio c'e solo Dio. Vivere, nessuno mai ce l'ha insegnato, Vivere, non si può vivere senza passato, Vivere è bello anche se non l'hai chiesto mai, Una canzone ci sarà, qualcuno che la canterà Dare to live searching for the ones you love (Perché, perché, perché, perché non vivi questa sera?) Dare to live no one but we all (Perché, perché, perché, perché non vivi ora?) Dare to live until the very last (Perché, perché, perché la vita non è vita) Your life is all you have to give (Perché) non l'hai vissuta Here’s the video on YouTube showing Bocelli and Pausini singing this amazing song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVilm74h8ms

Continuation of the Longhouse Scenic Byway series. I find a nice scenic overlook of the Allegheny Reservoir and the Kinzu Dam.

Continuation of the Longhouse Scenic Byway series. Not interesting by any stretch, just more random ramblings.

I take a little walk through the woods looking for an overlook of the reservoir. I find some large rocks deposited by the last ice age, and a pretty nice view of the valley. <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=13568979281796663854,41.844840,-78.970700%3B1119833718832011836,41.849620,-78.981760%3B3563363219968553650,41.840632,-78.981968%3B14299424915220608515,41.839002,-78.976266&saddr=Longhouse+Scenic+Byway+%4041.844840,+-78.970700&daddr=Unknown+road+%4041.849620,+-78.981760+to:Unknown+road+%4041.840632,+-78.981968+to:41.844821,-78.970842&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=3&sz=14&via=1,2&sll=41.840089,-78.959341&sspn=0.031397,0.069351&ie=UTF8&ll=41.844373,-78.969383&spn=0.031395,0.069351&z=14">Map</a>

No talking in this one, just some good music I was listening to while riding. Done mostly as an experiment (which I think came out well) using Sony Vegas.
