About Silly Beach Fence:

I’m always curious to know how the common beach fence evolved to its present construction of loosely wired open slats. At first I thought they were built to hold sand, later I understood it’s the people walking upon the sands that need corralling?

Think about this: It has taken millennia to grind down some of the earth's land mass of rocks and minerals, including quartz, which is not soluble, into these tiny particles of sand.  Far away from here, where other sand exists, in the Sahara for example, air born dust clouds from this and other deserts travel thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean to add to the existing layer of sand upon which we spread our beach blankets and lazily sun bathe, stroll, picnic, gaze at the sea, doze, watch children frolic, dip our toes into the ocean or swim not giving the sand's journet a second thought.

Beach erosion is really natures own unstoppable and irrefutable beach reconfiguration system. In this piece the sand foundations on Boylston Beach, Cape Cod Mass, rests in place, at least for the present.

None of this is folly. Not in the short term. Why not build and enjoy a house on a beach if you can? Why not enjoy the ever mesmerizing and expansive view? Why not marvel at an ocean’s ever-changing moods or enjoy a sunset or sunrise?  Why not post signs that say “DO NOT WALK ON DUNES”?

After all, in the next millennia it all will have change.
