Thoughts of a Beach Boy
If everybody had an ocean, they wouldn’t come here, to ‘Paradise of the Pacific’. It’s a big claim, for a beach, competing with tropical islands, reefs, shipwrecks and stunning coasts on four different continents, but somehow it doesn’t seem wrong either.
Mother Nature does her bit, keeping the water perfectly blue and the ideal temperature year-round and providing stunning backdrops, and the people know how to make the most of her gifts, with a friendly, vibrant culture.
Still, if everybody had an ocean, they wouldn’t come and visit mine. Crowds of beautiful people, enjoying their best lives. I’d miss them.
Extroduction
I just finished a fun project painting beach scenes, but Peter’s photo today made me think of one I’ve have never visited, one whose name until a few days ago conjured up only beautiful images and now has an association of horror. I like think one day Bondi will earn back it’s paradise reputation, but humans have a way of messing up even the most beautiful things, don’t we?
