I grew up in a swath from central Nebraska to the Mississippi delta. All the land was flat, flat, flat. I took it for granted that you could see the tornado coming at you for tens of miles. I remember seeing the Rocky mountains from more than a hundred miles away(long time ago). When I moved to the eastern pine forest I had a hard time realising why wasn't happy. After a few years it dawned on me that I loved the elephant and would eventually go back when financial bribes to stay in the forest ceased. Every one should spend some time either on the plains of the U.S. or go east to the steppes of Russia. It really is different when your even horizon is many, many kilometers away. I think that is why the sea has such appeal to many, your vista and possibilities seem endless.
