I grew up in Ohio and I LOVE the ocean.
I stand corrected!
Not an incapacitating freakout. Just a "NOT RIGHT! WRONG! TOO HIGH! BIZARRO!" mental commentary.
I had a similar reaction on a mesa in Arizona -- I could see too far, it was too flat, too brown, just Not Right.
Heh, Kat.
Maybe there are three types of people....desert people and ocean people and a bizarro hybrid of the two?
I didn't grow up near the ocean (Western Pennsylvania) and I adore the ocean. I haven't seen it this century.
I wonder if people in the 1900s made remarks like "Well, I haven't seen anything like that this century."
a bizarro hybrid of the two?
I"ll take bizarro hybrid for a hundred, Alex.
When it comes to the ocean, Jesse and I are one.
Jesse, did you see my fluevog black/brownish spectator pumps link?
brenda, I agree that all first meals should be strawberry ice cream!
Heh. I remember a college peer who grew up in NC and did a semester out west. She was all "exposed all the time" whereas I felt claustrophobic in NC unless I drove out to a treeless hilltop (and even that wasn't enough.) Desert=norm for me. Blue mountains, beige earth dotted with dusty green, sun bleached oranges and reds, that's earth to me.
The ocean thing still is weird to me. I like it. I like the sounds (and as long as it isn't fishy) the smell and rhythm. But The Horizon Is Too Tall. Will Crush Me.
I love both ocean and desert-- I just really like huge expanses, really. I like overlooking mountains as well.
What was funny was Kristin and I driving along the Pacific and both of us waxing rhapsodic over the gray-green crankiness of the Atlantic.

I did. Fluevogs in general are Not For Me.
