Spectacular Spectacles

In class we have been discussing spectacles, their different forms, how people perceive different things as spectacles, and so forth.  It's interesting to think about how many things can be considered a spectacle that you may not have noticed before.  Something as simple as a rainbow or lighting storm can be thought of as nature's spectacles.  A beautiful new car design can be very spectacular to some vehicle enthusiast.  On the other hand, disasters like hurricanes and floods can create unimaginable and horrible spectacles.  The phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" really makes sense here, as we all look at the same thing yet we each can see something considerably different.
