Presque Isle sunset. 2012.

Who: This was a personal experience that I have had on many occasions. The beach is my escape from reality.

What: My everyday work of art is a sunset. Not only do they happen everyday, but through pictures you can have long last memories!

When: Since the weather has been so freezing, I had not been to the beach until this past Sunday. I also went back on Monday.

Where: I don't ever go to the numbered beaches, unless I am with friends. I have a certain spot that I always go to. It is near the tip of Presque Isle. Luckily, many people do not go there.

Why: I go here to get away from the world for a short time. Being in nature really helps me to think and be inside of my head and inner thoughts. If I am having a really hard time writing a paper for a class, or doing homework, I will just go to the water and write. It always seems to help. I'm wondering if me being Aquarius has anything to do with it?

How: How do I get here? Well, I drive... then I walk!

Visit #1: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">There is still snow on the ground, but it is starting to melt away. YAY! It is a bit "warmer" today than yesterday. My Saturday class was cancelled, so we have an assignment to make up. Many things are going through my mind right now. The beach makes me miss summer, and all of the fun times I spent here in this very spot. I'm watching the sunset alone, which is something that I have not done in quite some time. I used to come here every single day to drive around the peninsula, bike, swim, etc. Being alone is nice and there is so much to see. The water is choppy because it is pretty windy out. Watching the sun go down makes me feel warm, but I know it is going to be FREEZING once it is fully down. There is a certain smell to the beach. I don't know if I like it right now...

<span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Visit #2: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I just got the end of the sunset. They say Erie has one of the top 10 best sunsets in the entire world. I definitely would have to agree. I'm alone again, seems like that's the case these days, I think I'm starting to enjoy it. The snow has melted even a bit more! The water is dark, I wonder if there are any creatures in there that we don't even know about? As much as I love the water, the unknown scares me. I keep imagining I'm going to see a prehistoric dinosaur jump out of the water, and no one is going to be around to see it and no one would believe me, of course. Right now, watching this sunset, I am thinking about all of the people who sat here before me. I know it's not the same sunset, but could it be? How many people proposed to their girlfriends right here, or how many people broke up? First met? First kiss? So many activities and thoughts are going through my head. Were there pioneers that lived her? I'm curious.......
