Land Art


Sky, water, sand, fence, and snow. Then the road. This year, before the snow came, the bulldozer plowed up the beach sand into a strange pattern. Did they learn this in bulldozing school, that if you plow the sand up in a long bulwark parallel to shore, and then plow up moguls in evenly spaced intervals at right angles, it will keep the west wind from blowing sand and snow onto the road? Well, it didn't work. But what it did do is twist and swirl the wind so that patterns like this one would form in the snow. A hundred cameras couldn't document the constantly changing configurations of the patterns, so I settled for three.
