I've heard that the arches in a medeival cathedral are meant to feel like a forest arching overhead. This is one we got to go into in Belgium. I tried, but I didn't feel like I was in a forest. But it was inspiring.

204. Watching the scenery change: This pine's been overlooking this valley far longer than anyone now alive has been living, and may still be there once we're all gone.
