Organic breakwater

Hundreds of logs. Thousands. They lie beached between usual high tide line and the most extreme highs, wherever the land slopes gradually down to the water. Some newly arrived, most old-timers, crumbling over the years into woody pulp. These hold down the sand along the Oyster Bay shore near sundown.

And my shadow, as I sat on another log.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cientos, miles de troncos viejos. Descansan en la arena entre el nivel superior acostumbrado de la marea y donde llegan las más fuertes tempestades, en dondequiera el terreno baja en declive gradual hacia el mar. Algunos son nuevos; la mayoría tienen años aquí, desintegrándose lentamente hasta formar una masa rojiza. En la foto, cubren y detienen la arena a lo largo de la bahía Oyster cerca de la puesta del sol.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
