Beauty and ugliness

Andy's wondering about beauty, specifically about the alleged beauty of highways.

I agree with him. I looked beauty up at Google. One of the definitions was:

That quality which gives pleasure upon being seen by the eye of the body or the intellect.

So a freeway or the inside of a server could be seen in one sense as beautiful, but it does depend on who's looking.

The good news is that ugliness is then also in the eye of the beholder. I'll try to keep that in mind next time I see dirt-colored air above the A41.
