the nature wonder

there was a line of cars in front, as far as the eye can see. it was a traffic jam and he was stuck right in the middle of it. he hated driving cars in such places, and thankfully today he is not. he looked across at his friend, whose forehead creased with intense concentration accelerating and braking .... it was cold , not a shivering cold but an uneasy cold that was very suffocating. there was a song on the radio playing , the beats quite fast and on a normal day he would be pretty pumped listening to it. today he was just tired from something. there were cars all around him but beyond them lay the beach that they had set out for.
the signal turned green and they pulled into one of the roads and turned right and halting as soon as they started. and there he saw it , the huge expansive bridge. the fog was heavy and the top part of the bridge was totally cut out of view. it was like one of those batman movies , where a heavy fog always descends on gotham city over the tall building and bridges cutting it out of view. he found it beautiful, and looking out from the car the sunshine was subdued , was completely filtered. the bridge was huge and the arching rods that supported it was magnificent. brown and just a plain brown in color it gave further proof to how man overcame certain challenges that nature gave him.
slowly they inched past the cars and the traffic eased as they pulled into one of the roads leading to the beach. now the sight was wonderful, the bridge and the fog and the ocean on both sides. he saw people walking on the bridge somehow walking and it seemed like that gave them a lot of comfort. somehow walking on that bridge was so different , their hair was flowing in the cold wind that was blowing. as they strode on the new road the surroundings slowly changed. they were on the way to the beach through a hilly region. and climbing up the incline they were making turns to push further up. and as the car came into a road that stretched in front what he saw on the right was spellbounding. the huge mountaneous expanse with trees and just everything so green , very pure and across that lay the beach , bluish water , the white sand. rocks littered the place and added to the beauty of the entire place. the fog was descending as a protective cover to the entire place. he could see cars coming back from the beach in a distance , looked like small toys. and dots of people on the beach. he relaxed a bit now , sitting back in the seat and taking the entire sight in.
the hilly terrain was sculpted randomly, one could see how it was bulldozed to make way for the roads, and with nothing near polluting it it was a sight to behold. he could not take his eyes off the scene and his mind lay at rest.
