the little scrawny tree grown from a crack of the crumbled sea wall makes this marvel of an ice sculpture. i can picture what this stretch of the lake will be next year. will we have to climb the wall to see the sea? why do humans have to make the shore? why could humans not let the natural shore be? but humans make fences and borders and walls and wars to contain nature and other humans. human keep trying to control everything, to keep out, to keep in, and all around we see humans failing, crumbling, eroding, poisoning, going extinct.
