Remember the post I sent out in 2010 about the billboard by the beach? Here is a reprint: I love this billboard near our home; a constant reminder that not everything is as permanent here as we might otherwise think.
We live on a barrier island. Our island paradise intercepts and diffuses hurricanes from the gulf before they get to the mainland. There is nothing naturally occurring here that is over ten or fifteen feet above sea level. The weather takes what we build and makes it impermanent. We build here and live here, recognizing that we’re not really in charge; we’re just using the space for a while. I reported on it again in 2012: My favorite beach billboard.
Still. Now in 2015. The decay continues.
But it’s still there.
