Taken last year, but regardless, most of yesterday's puddles turned to ice today.

seawall

Between the beach and the road, there is a SEAWALL. The weather on the coast has a tendency to be WICKED, and sand has a tendency to blow.

Hence: a seawall exists.



Side note: absolutely no editing went into this photo. I couldn't come up with anything I could do to markedly improve it- even a crop- so here it is,

exactly as it was shot from the window of a moving car. THIS is what we call a "happy accident."

Some people enjoy living on a sandbar. Seriously- the Atlantic Ocean is like 100 feet from this building.

This seems monumentally stupid to me, but I will admit that the view is probably worth the exorbitant rent they must pay.
