That's a great photo but I dunno.
Many things look terrific from a distance.
The galaxies seen from the Hubble telescope are magnificent, the earth seen from space is a spectacular sight, the Grand Canyon is gorgeous, I love living in a wooded area, the NYC skyline magnificent and a tribute to the people who built it, but when you get close up, the stars will burn you to a crisp in a second, the woods I love require a degree of maintenance so the house stays clean, the Grand Canyon is a big hole in the ground with some water at the bottom that will get you all muddy if you step in it and the NYC skyline is just a bit too far from the ground to see the rats feasting on the garbage strewn in the streets.
No place is perfect. They all have their pros and cons.
The cynic has spoken.
