Old Jetty and Clouds, Folly Beach, SC © Doug Hickok The sea is beautiful to behold, but its forces are relentless. This old jetty, which stood here for many years trying to slow beach erosion, will soon be nothing but driftwood. The power of nature persists, but the works of man are as fleeting as clouds scuttling across the sky. Quick take: Speaking of nature's forces, here's a link to some amazing images of an erupting volcano in Chile. |

ReplyDeleteRuins by the sea are, in my opinion, always more fascinating of ruins inland. The sea has its own way to destry things, relentless but picturesque...

ReplyDeleteA beautiful shoreline image, Doug, and a good reminder of the power of nature, as is the series of images from the denverpost.com link you've provided above. That picture display style reminded me of The Boston Globe's Big Picture series, where it occurred to me that they might well have covered the Chile's Puyehue volcano erruption, too, and sure enough they did. At least a couple of the photos are the same. This is the link:
