Alone on the beach, no other sand hewn monuments anywhere, this splendid creation stuck out. Beautifully crafted, with a really cool and imaginative design; someone had gone to lot of trouble, taken time and consideration in this build. It's a funny human trait, that we can spend endless time, and derive such innocent joy, absorbed in creating temporary structures; building sand castles or sculptures, digging a hole, building a damn across a brook and endless other activities. The spoils of which are all transient, gone on the next tide or raise flow or under the boot, materials to be reused in another creation, another day. The memories through endure, maybe not always as individual events, but just in the knowing that such activities were, and still are, time well spent, good times which when thought about elicit a warm feeling and a smile. It's the simple things.
