Does everyone feel that this is limited to photographs/images? I have the
same feelings that are being described when I see the actual vistas as well
as when I see images of them. I have noticed that in myself the feelings
intenseness relates to how much evidence of man is in the scene as well.
The less infringement by man, the more intense the feeling. The image
itself can be extremely simple as well in my experience. I had a very
intense experiance while in the Navy just looking out over the Atlantic
while the sun sets or just as we sailed along across the water. Another
effect I've noticed as well ... it depends on how old the man made object is
also.

Psychopathic killers, however, are not mad, according

result not from a deranged mind but from a cold, calculating
rationality combined with a chilling inability to treat
others as thinking, feeling human beings. Such morally
incomprehensible behavior, exhibited by a seemingly normal
person, leaves us feeling bewildered and helpless.
