The beautiful sights you are seeing are from the Saguenay River near Tadoussac in Quebec, Canada.
Why am I posting pictures from Tadoussac ?
Well, many many years ago when I must have been around 4 years old, our family went sightseeing on this river.
And so this wilderness environment unfolded around me as our pleasure boat made its journey and impressed upon me something of a greater Being unlike myself (as much as one could say I had a sense of "myself" at the time).
I may have been slightly awestruck. The experience did present itself to me as an inescapable one, most definitely.
I am quite convinced that it was my first encounter with what the Bible speaks of in Romans 1:20 .
Now would that experience at the tender age of 4 or thereabouts have been sufficient to lead me to a true knowledge of God ?
I feel the best "true knowledge" imparted to me on that occasion was what was in fact true of myself from my birth : that which the Bible calls being "in Adam".
And so being "in Adam" I was potentially on the road to engage in the practices being denounced by the Apostle Paul in the immediate context of that passage.
After that experience at the age of 4 years I was irrevocably changed having been confronted perhaps for the first time with my lostness.
