At risk

Santo Amaro Beach
This stormy winter has been a great threat to buildings on the seashore.

Your beach and ocean photos are quite a contrast to my blog photo today! Trade you!

That is one of the risks of being so near the beautiful beaches everywhere. But who could resist such a lovely place.

I'd always live a few blocks away from the shore... The sea knocking on my door would give me the creeps!
God bless you!

I wish them luck.

We have the same problem, of course, but what amazes me is "they" keep building as close as possible to certain danger!

Love that first photo!

And I knew you'd know what kind of duck that was at the Miami Zoo!

That's some sky... This place are beautiful even in winter, it's a pity they are at risk.

I'd kill to live by such beautiful beaches. You're very good with empty shore lines.

Property out here by the Ocean has the same problem. There is a beach called Washaway Beach and it does just that and people keep building. Crazy. MB
