Sandhenge

Beach walking is great for my health and very entertaining for the mind. It is not unusual to run across ephemeral beach art. Here we see a creation of sand, sticks and the lone claw of a Dungeness crab. Perhaps the central column was taller and the wind eroded it, perhaps the there was a gate entrance to the ramped conical tower. Perhaps this is an temple to the crabs. Or mere whimsy from the fertile mind of a child.

Sandhenge stayed around at the very high tide line for about 3 weeks until we hit a run of high tides and storms.
