The
evening of the 19th and morning of the 20th
The
ocean continues its' assault on man-made structures
This
serene beach masks the tumult that had occured 6 hours earlier
Another
man-made object claimed by the sea
Nauset
Light sends its' beacon out to a stormy ocean
The
next morning dawn's brightly on Newcombe Hollow
Biscuit
is the first one to travel the beach this morning. Notice how the winter
berm from a few days ago has now completely disappeared.
One
of the many large seaclams washed up onto the beach. This one was still
intact.
Compare
this picture with the one from 36 hours ago when there was a large stretch
of sand possibly 10' further out.
The post works its way down the dune face
The
dune will break apart to replenish the beach
This
might be the next clay structure to calve from the dune but it has an
odd slice along the base. I would have explored closer but the tide was
rising and there was no beach access close at hand.
The
beach sculpture still lives
I
have watched this clay structure closely since the start of 2003. It has
gotten markedly thinner and now appears that a strong storm could break
it off.
Just
a few months ago there was a large berm in front of this.
