i love the tone of this photo. feels really old to me. interesting structure there. what i the purpose?
Nice work, the composition and colour tints in this are great.
thanks miles and steve.. this structure is a groin to stop beach erosion.
A groin is a shoreline structure that is perpendicular to the beach. It is usually made of large boulders, but it can be made of concrete, steel or wood. It is designed to interrupt and trap the longshore flow of sand. Sand builds up on one side of the groin (updrift accretion) at the expense of the other side (downdrift erosion).
