Spring Break

During Spring Break I visited Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. It was an interesting experience in several ways; but it mainly reinforced the interest for the American environmentalist thematic. From the architecture, I could tell that the city was built mostly in the 80’s and 90’s; it is an enormous touristic urban area, with great concrete structures. Because of the season the whole place was unoccupied, there were almost none in the gigantic hotels; and there was this sense of emptiness and absurdity in the environment. The city was imposed to the nature and landscape, and the great structures were only unanimated witnesses of the silence. The experience made me identify myself with a common theme of the American environmentalist, for one moment I felt the need of strongly reject the society, and isolate myself in nature.
