Water, Sand and Sunset


Picture of Lisa skipping to ocean The ocean has always been a source of inspiration and freedom for me. In August 1996, I visited my good friend, Lisa, who was in school at the University of Oregon in Eugene. We took a trip out to the Pacific coast and I was amazed. Even the winding roadway was picturesque. We pulled into one of the many stops along the coast and ran down to the ocean.

The sand was cool and firmly packed as high tide had just gone out. It was an amazing feeling to be the only two people there, surrounded by such a powerful force in nature. Our human impact was evident.

We found a large piece of driftwood and used it as an instrument to write our names in the sand. It is interesting that we could not let nature exist without feeling that we had to leave our mark.
