| Ocean Drive - South Miami Beach |
The neon rainbow on Ocean Drive, on South Miami Beach. It's fun to photograph. But it's like any other prepackaged city: artificial colors and flavor. An artificial high. I so much prefer the image below, of the Maine coast in Acadia National Park: all natural, no artificial colors or flavor, full of life. I can only imagine how amazing "Ocean Drive" would be if they had simply left it alone. No hotels. No lights. No cars. No Clubs. No Neon. No throngs of people. Just ocean. Just Sand Dunes. No artificial sounds or sights or people. Pristine Beach. Just Beach.

| Acadia National Park - Maine |
They paved paradise, And put up a parking lot.
With a pink hotel, a boutique, And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go, That you don't know what you've got, Till it's gone
They paved paradise, And put up a parking lot.
-- Joni Mitchell
