“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

blog 3
To me one of the least aesthetically pleasing of places are hospitals. Apart from the gloomy feel to hospitals due to its purpose, I find it hard to appreciate the beauty of the establishment itself. From my experience with hospitals, I can attest to the fact that interior design is not the greatest. The walls are typically very bare and painted a pasty cream color. Everyone encountered in one's visit seem to all mix in with one another as a consequence of their plain uniforms. Equipment and machinery quickly become the bulk of the "scenery" which tends to provide a somewhat less personable mood. There is a beauty to hospitals seeing how their purpose is to aid the people around us. However on an aesthetic standpoint, I am not in the least bit intrigued.
