This is an interesting point of view! 😎
In a forest, where everything should stay as the mother nature created, I do not see these objects as appropriate either. It would indeed be a great distraction and "out of order" state for a forest. You are so right here.
Though, here on the promenade, we already have a lot of not so natural objects. Here everything is touched already. The path, the fence, the buildings, the natural landscape is modified.
Some 50 or 60 years ago, there were just wild Mediterranean vegetation, fields and orange plantations here. The settlement was just a few houses and nothing else. But everything changed when tourism became one of the main sources of income. And construction.
Still, this town is a lot calmer than some of the nearby ones, with huge skyscrapers :D
It's like if I was listening to music and suddenly someone turned it off or suddenly someone called me ...
