“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 #12
When I think of one place that is aesthetically beautiful all around, I picture the beaches of Florida, where my family has traveled to for many years. The beach does not only follow the views of picturesque but it also leads people to engage themselves in nature, by playing in the sand and jumping through the waves. With this, we are able to enjoy the different temperatures, textures, and even the sounds of the waves crashing. I don't need a scientific knowledge like Carlson states, to be able to sit back and enjoy the beauties of the vast ocean.
