There are a lot of different ways we could celebrate the 4th of July here at Culturcidal.com. Across the web, you’re going to see articles featuring patriotic quotes, talking about great Americans, and honoring our troops. These are all good things, but I wanted to do something a little different. Everyone with half a brain knows America is a great nation with a powerful military and incredible accomplishments, but one thing this country does not get enough credit for is how beautiful it is. We live in one of the most gorgeous nations on planet earth. Granted, not every bit of it is a feast for the eyes as those of us who have driven the long stretch of nothing between Myrtle Beach and Florida can tell you, but there are so many amazing things to see in this country that even someone like me, who’s not a professional photographer, was able to get shots like these over the last decade. You live in a beautiful country. Be proud that you do.
