Great picture as well RG.
I was thinking last night how a picture even though it is taken by somebody else, of somewhere I may never have been, can have a profound effect on mood.
What I mean is that last night I was in that 'lousy weekend/Sunday night/back to work in the morning' state of mind, when that picture of Tara just made my head go whooosh! Suddenly everything was alright with the world again - so thankyou 4Wds :)
Like I said, I've never been to Tara, but that photo just somehow summed up some of those magic moments you get sometimes at these places when everything comes together for an instance, perhaps only for a few seconds or minutes, but in that time nothing else matters, the rest of the world just slips away and you just want to live in that brief time and space forever.
Of course that time passes away, but somehow you keep a little bit of the magic with you and sometimes when you see a picture all those little pieces of magic and those feelings just come flooding back to your mind and lift your spirit.
Or is it just me that's weird like that ?!? ;)

No, is the simple answer, it's not just you. I think we can all take a little from other peoples experiences and benefit from them. Whether it's through hearing tales or seeing images we all can be lifted by second hand experiences.

I think this is why we all give to TMA and other sites - so that we can take from it too and that others can take from what we put in. It's definitely a two way thing. If it wasn't why would you or I (who both have good sites of our own) contribute to the likes of TMA? We could just sit back and point people to our own sites (which I still do occasionally) and wait for the glory, but we continue to add to TMA too.

In doing this, along with all the other great contributors, we all make TMA into an ever growing beastie that we can take from as well as add to.
