he human spirit has been created so that it
                                        takes pleasure in form, symmetry, beauty,
                                        purity, order, harmony of colour, in short,
                                       in perfection. All colours and sights in na-
                                       ture correspond most to this delight in the
                                      human spirit.
                                           The places that people choose to relax
                                      and be comfortable in are often closely associ-

                                     coasts and river banks. With their clean air and
                                     open spaces and often near water, these give
                                     people a sense of well-being and happiness.
                                         Places far from natural beauty where there
                                    is no sunshine and fresh air do not appeal to hu-
                                    man beings.
                                        One of the reasons why we human beings
