I'll admit I haven't been shooting as much lately as I'd like (nor have I gotten started yet on a tutorial series I've been planning out), so in the meantime I've been going back into the archives for interesting stuff to post, and I came across a small series I shot down in Waldport, Oregon several years back documenting the constant battle homeowners in Bayshore have had battling encroaching sand. It's been an issue for decades. For periods the sand retreats and all seems normal, but every so often winds, tides and storms bring the sand up to the doorstep.
Sometimes the houses get buried. Sometimes they risk falling into the bay. It really makes you question what sort of qualifications the building development team had when this neighborhood was being planned. I haven't been back in several years, so I don't know what the current state is, but I will never forget seeing all these houses literally drowning in sand.
