It's beautiful.
kinda like that black on black painting that every art museum seems to have? no, boring. limiting in its endless ability to separate. beauty in in the eyes of the beholder, and this beholder does not see it as beautiful. creepy. terrible. awesome in a bad way. overwhelming. nice place to visit briefly but a horrific place to live. but you can't visit it briefly cuz it takes hours of stuff almost this flat and endless and boring to get there. i go for the people. not the scenerylessness.
