Went for walk one evening.  Saw a path winding up a mountain, walk onward until around 11 PM when i reach the top. Observe the stars rising over each mountain peak in the distance and try to remember their names and the order they rose.  It was cold but very welcoming.  Then there was a lunar eclipse.  Start walking home around 1AM.  If you try it you might like it.
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?

Ah yes, I love me these aesthetic moments.
My favorites are:
-An empty warehouse at night
-Reading in the woods, with a low tree branch hanging over you
-Driving late at night through an industrial area
-Looking over a bridge at night at the distant lights of a nearby city
-The small clearing just off of a desolate hiking trail where you meet your friends in the woods, accompanied with carved initials and inside references
-Hearing a remarkably pleasing or especially terrific piece of music (and/or final battle in a game or favorite movie) for the first time
-A carnival just after closing time, waiting on the steps of a temporary metal fence for a ride home

I also agree strongly with the beautiful examples presented.

i just had another moment of this feeling.

i went outside at around 6pm at night and sat there, listening to the birds chirping and watching as the sun slowly set. it makes me appreciate all the things that happens every night, that most of us don't see. and it happens so slowly that you can't tell when something happened, or tell time's passing at all, but at the same time, it's all happening.

i really like it.

I haven't experienced many, but there have definitely been a few.

-Walking into a building where you haven't been for years and it seeming so much smaller than you remember it.
-Going through old things and remembering what it was like at that time in your life
-Standing in a beautiful forest, with the line shining down and a small creek winding around, and knowing that through these trees, not so far away, is an abandoned building and the bustle of a city-like town
-Being face-to-face with a friend you haven't talked to in years, and you have no idea why you two haven't talked
-Actually being pleased with something you just drew/wrote
-That feeling when you change your look drastically (Cutting off a lot of hair, dying hair, changing style, etc.)
-Taking a moment to just enjoy nature, or at least what little you can see of it
-Staring up at the sky and seeing so many more stars than you can count
-Realizing you love someone

O THAT WAS MORE THAN A FEW UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM SORRY I LIIIEEED
