Description
I forgot to post theis one yesterday so I post it today.
Anyway this is all I call it as i never saw anything like them. it plastic bags filled with sand. they put them here as they wish to stop any oil from comeing over to that area and going across the road as a big storm could eary bring the water. I stop on the side off the road to take the shots but a cop came and warm me to not to park on the side of the road as it a big fine. I told him "thank" and moved on. He just had given me a warning that all. he say nothing of takeing photos which shocked me.
I heard the sand was from the beach there so they did not bring in sand just the big bags. guess they sand bags but the only sand bags I ever saw was the ones you pick up by hand. these you can see can not be pick up.

oh ther salt marsh starts on the other side of the road from the beach. it just grass you see. Not hills just flat as a pancake land as far as the eye can see. no rocks too. just mud

a reasonable cop for once,as you did not blocked anybodys way he was acting intelligent as not to give a fine.and dont call a cop a dickhead because that gets expensif lol.

Thanks a lot for this pic Jock, it was nice of you to post it after I asked to see more photos of them. I've never seen anything like the bales of sand before, they must do a great job. It's amazing the cop had time to warn you about parking for a moment alongside the road to take a photo when there is real crime going on all around. Sounds like maybe someone needs to find him something a bit more constructive to do or better yet another job.
