Paradise
The most beautiful place that comes to mind is warm with a soft wind that blows lightly across one’s face. It is painted with the turquoise of a glassy ocean, the white of sand, the blue of an unveiled sky, and the green of immense branches from palm trees that proudly stand tall by the shore. A blinding sphere of light gloriously radiates down on the water that leaves a reflection of a million sparkling diamonds covering the land. The countless sands carpet the shore and extend for miles to the horizon. White caps of the water rise and fall on the exposed shore to die again leaving their foamy memory. The tide washes ashore kelp and dead jellyfish as crabs scuttle across their barren desert of sand snapping their claws as they go. The vibrant ocean swims with life of all sizes. Schools of colorful fish move to the flow of the deep blue. Hunters of the sea prey on the weak and the small, maintaining the balance. Seaweed dances to the rhythm of the current. Unimaginable and mysterious creatures dwell in the unseen. On the shore, lovers sprawl and converse surrounded by the warmth of the sand and the sun on their bare skin. The intoxication of the sweet air fills their lungs as they savor the taste of the sea on their tongues. The fragrant aroma in the air brings freedom from cares. Laughing, smiling, running, loving. Nothing matters but the importance of each other.

wow anna, this made me really want to transfer to, i don't know, university of hawaii. It sounds like you've had some really great memories on beaches. Where have you traveled to in particular that reminds you of the place that you described? How do I get there?

My favorite part of that description was "Seaweed dances to the rhythm of the current.". It presented such a nice visual. I want to dance with them!

I really enjoyed reading your description of the most beautiful place. You really captured the beauty and the words you used were wonderfully descriptive.

I liked your description, many of the lines really spoke with life. the line "White caps of the water rise and fall on the exposed shore to die again leaving their foamy memory" i thought was especially good.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
