Pretty view...but...

Here is the view from just a few minutes ago from the top deck of the Volkswagen Westfalia Camper I rented.  I thought of shooting a photo like this when I parked by the ocean last night to stay for the night, and even lined up the parking job just compose the photo.  I just had to wait until the morning!  Easy enough, right?  I figured it would be a beautiful peaceful experience and that I would write about how days like this made all the highs and lows worth it.  But the road behind me is louder than I expected, and I don't think more than 1 minute went by the whole night without a car going by.  It's the main thoroughfare between the area where the big resorts, golf courses, and beaches are, and the airport.  I barely slept.  So I'm still feeling pretty cranky.  Of course I know I chose to do this, and I am not complaining.  I just want to be honest with everyone reading this about how this photo could be perceived and what the truth of the matter is!  1-16
