Thanks, Arni. The desert and the sea do have vastness and big sky in common.
I completely understand your view though, took my 20 years to get to a point
I could move away from the sea. Who knows, maybe I'll return to the shore
one day. Watching landscapes inland and coastal one thing I've learned,
everything changes.

Welcome back, Frank!
Living away from the sea or away from the least bit of sight of it seems
basically inconceivable to me. So that change must be horrendous, not? Mind
you, I wouldn't turn down the rare opportunity to experience an inland
poetic inspiration. The absence of sea is simply so weird.
