Sometimes art can be found in the most unexpected places. Mother Nature has her own way of creative artistry at the beach in the sand, waves, driftwood, shells and vegetation.
Sometimes humans intervene and create their own artistic works in unique places.
Cardiff State beach along the coast road/Route 101 in Cardiff is one such venue.
Unknown "artists" for years have created stone sculptures along the coast road here, using the smooth and jagged stones dumped there to help with erosion. These sculptures appear without notice, at various times during the year, in groups or sometime as solitary testaments to a passing human's creativity. You rarely see them being created, but just come upon them while driving by or walking the somewhat deserted part of the beach. You may not see them for many weeks, but then suddenly one or more will appear.
The rock sculptures sit sometimes for days, or perhaps for only short periods, until they are disrupted by the winds, a child's hand, or an errant seagull seeking a perch to watch for prey on the sands below. One has to wonder...who was the creator? What inspired them? Were they pleased by what they saw? Who else sees these creations and wonders?
I, too, was inspired, and created my own "masterpiece." ([photo at top of page] I wonder - how long will it sit there undisturbed? Perhaps I will check back in a few days.
Enjoy a relaxing moment with these sculptures and music.
