The Cruel Sea

For a few months now there has been a desperate, but futile effort to save some of the baches in Mokau, as the sea steadily erodes the land they were built on. One of them (in the background) is being demolished before the sea gets it. On the beach are remains of large sandbags, which a month ago were at the foot of the bank. The bach closest to the camera had a lawn last time I saw it, now that is gone. I take a bit of spoil down there in the truck now and then, but I know it is just a futile gesture.
