Never quite understood the overriding fascination with beaches.



It's bright. It's hot. You have to lather up in medical salve and wear eye protection to avoid cancer and cataracts, and even then you will get burned.

You might drown or get killed or maimed by marine animals, including some which are microscopic and take days or weeks to show.

Actually the water is dangerous as it is, affecting the skin and upsetting the electrolyte balance. Not to mention it is full of cadmium, mercury and assorted chemicals.

They are usually crowded, full of pickpockets and other thieves, and beach culture is typefied as shallow, focused on appearance, and promoting banality.



Actually, why is this tagged as "dystopian"? This place looks fantastic compared to a tourist trap beach.



Well done.
