A trip to the beach

On Friday a club I take part in regularly went to the beach. I use to go to the beach during the day. But ever since coming to college I've only went at night time. This last time I escaped from the group to walk along the beach and observe the feeling. I noticed how much light pollution was in the air from the city being so close but I didn't think that you would be able to literally see a gradient in the sky going from the pitch black of the ocean to the bright light of the city. I guess that's what humans do. They build and build and make things bigger and bigger, never able to be satisfied.
