A recent report by the National Trust tells of around 200 miles of south-west England's coast that is crumbling into the sea, but despite this the National Trust is intent on letting nature take its course. This natural action of both wind and waves has had a similar effect on the graded sand that was being used in the construction of Dorset's artificial surf reef. The pile was bulldozed flat during mid-November after work on the site was suspended, and now it is beginning to disappear due to longshore drift. I can only surmise that the sand will have to be re-graded once construction resumes again in April 2009 - adding to the overal costs, no doubt.
The image, shot just after sunrise today, is of frost covered sand at Southbourne, Dorset.
