The simple things in life that are amazing and overlooked

I'm a sucker for scenery, whether it be an ocean, a sunrise/sunset, or the wilderness.

When I came back from the North Sea, I had lots of pictures and recorded stuff (camera doubled as a primitive video recorder). My father and mother absolutely loved the scenery. I had sunrises, sunsets, footage of a rough rainstorm out at sea (pictures didn't come out right), and also filmed stuff from when I was riding back to Amsterdam after getting onshore (windmills, farmland, etc).

My parents and awesome grandfather enjoyed them (my father in particular. We share interests on this stuff). I then was told to show my grandparents when I visited them (they live locally), and, as I figured, they didn't give two shits about it. I could see their eyes wandering the whole time and they kept talking about random things. I just said screw it and said "that's all" when I had only just begun. I also showed my uncle (mother's side of the family once again) and I got the same reaction out of him. My mom's side of the family lacks anyone who enjoys nature, and that's one of the things about them that bugs me.

I was stuck in heavily urbanized parts of Austin and Houston at a few points in time (over a week) and it really bugged me, as I didn't have a forest or anything of the sort to intrigue me. Duck out of water is the best analogy, I do believe.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
