While there are a million things that get the imagination rolling in high gear one that stands out in my mind is the occasional ice storm we get in the winters. For those of you who live in warmer climates, I'll describe it a bit. During the night you wake up frequently to the battering pelting sounds hitting the window panes and rooftops as the wind wails. Later, you wake to realize a complete silence broken only by an infrequent cracking sound. You wander to the widow and see a new world has been created. When everything in your vision has been encompassed in an inch of ice you notice details that have escaped your notice for years. You don your warm apparel and wander from leaf to leaf, from one side of the yard to the other in awe.

The sun creates millions upon millions of prism effects and you are transported into a world of vibrant colorful diamonds. It's a world of peril as tree branches surrender to the weight and crash, ice into ice, splintering sounds, ice scampering across icy lawns. Power lines snap, blue arcs reaching out like screams or sighs. Temporarily, the ice rules and holds the world in its hand. No traffic sounds interfere, birds are hiding in safely. It's a world to find your frozen lawn chair and behold the splendor with a cup of cocoa and to wonder at the immense power of nature, even in its gentler moments.

Answer 5

Sitting on the roof of my block and watching all the town and imagine what could happen at that certain moment in every house or in every flat...its really catchy you know....you can try this if you live higher than 10th floor.....

Answer 6

Nature and its colors, definitely. I once held a chick from a bird's nest, it was amazing. Actually, it fell out of the nest and I had to place it back. It was amazing to hold the little ones. Its amazing how nature works, its mechanism is simply mind numbing.
If I were to choose to life in a concrete jungle or deep in the forest, I'd prefer to stay close to nature.

Answer 7

An interesting abstract painting. I like imagining that the colors are feelings and I try to see what "mood" the painting's in, or what story it might tell. Strange, I know, but it's fun to do; really liberating.

Answer 8

Scenes like a mountian, or situations and the way they could have gone most anything I can change, and make differently in my head. That's quite an interesting question to ask on yahoo.
