The March of the Beach Chairs


Saw the chairs lined up like this at South Beach one early morning. Kind if strange as the chairs all faced south. Haven't seen this image again in my morning visits. The chairs must have marched into the sea, as they all do, eventually.
Have a great weekend folks.
I leave you all with these words from Matthew Arnold:
The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furl'd.
But now I only hear Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.
--- excerpts from Dover Beach

Those chairs lined up are an interesting find. And your beautiful, trademark sky is present.
