A Different Perspective

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

Never been to America, and I don't even know what every state looks like? but from a pure beauty perspective I'd love to live/see New England (show me a more beautiful place in Autumn) Washington state, and Oregon.

Not in the Cities though, I live Rural in England, I don't enjoy Cities, I like Nature around me!

I have a bit of a Romanticized thing for America in the 50's (obviously beyond the bad stuff) , small towns, the way people lived, dressed, the Music, the Cars, everything! I absolutely adore it and to me that is what I think about when someone says America!
Now I don't know how real all that was, Movies, Music and people forgetting the bad things and only preaching the good when telling stories is how my love and views of that period were shaped, nevertheless I look back and dream about that America with nostalgia, even though I never experienced it.

It is about perspective. The America you see in your mind's eye is based on expectations bases on information supplied in movies, books, and experiences shared by others.

I could take you to places in America that you would feel like you never left your rural England. Even Americans forget just how large America is, and how diverse it is.

My city relatives used to tease me as a child about living in the woods with dirt roads, no sidewalks, and no street lights. It was worse that we were about 75 miles away from any real city life. Yet we never felt like we were different or foreign.  

There are still tiny towns in America that still has the ability to being back those feelings of nostalgia.  

The majority of America is not what you see in movies and TV. Even the cities near me look nothing like what you see in the media. Boring, bland, quiet, and normal, don't make for heavy veiwing or clicks, so you won't see the true, normal and average America in the media on a regular basis.
