“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 - Aesthetics of Aesthetics
I find it fascinating that this class addresses perspectives on how people appreciate nature. It makes us stop and observe nature in her manner of operation. For, if we don't talk about how beauty is around us everywhere we go, we get caught up in activities that remove us from nature recognition and appreciation. And as technology advances we lose touch with our frequent interaction with nature. Our appreciation for nature should not be limited to this semester but rather we should take recognition of nature in our future endeavors.
