What's the most beautiful thing you've seen IRL?

And if you say anything about women, I'm going to fillet you and sell your skin to a cannibal so it can be used as edible confetti at a cannibal party. For me, I'd have to say aurora borealis.

    Most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I was flying my ultralight airplane in the evening at the Oshkosh Airshow (not actually in the airshow, just buzzing around for fun). It was a butter smooth evening and the sun was a golden orange on the horizon. The light was slightly diffused through the clouds making them look like floating golden cities. It was so breathtaking that my heart was fluttering with joy. The picture doesn't do it justice. Another time was when I was flying in an airliner. It was the first time I had done that since I was 4. I can't really describe all the emotions I was feeling as I was looking out the window, but as I looked down upon the earth from up in my peaceful and serene vantage point, I realized how silly and trivial our world problems are. Everything was just so small and unimportant. I was free from the world. I was in a place almost called heaven. I too felt so small, but I felt cradled and loved. Up there 7 miles in the air, it was just..... Calm. That's the closest to heaven I've ever been. I was so moved that I was in tears. I had sunglasses on so nobody could tell, and I was looking around at everyone screaming in my head "are you people crazy??! Don't you see this beautiful thing below us? Stop looking at your magazines and smartphones! What's WRONG with you?!" I get teary just thinking about it. Almost heaven.
