Changing Terrain

I have taken this view before, but today I want to show you the changes that have occurred over the last 30 years.  We owned one of those beachfront houses when the drop-off to the beach was directly in front of our house; we brought in beach grass and logs to protect our home. We sold the house when we had a business failure and needed the money from the sale to survive until we got another business going. I am not exactly sure what happened, but when we went back 15 years ago, we couldn't believe the distance to the beach. The grass-created land made it a 5-minute walk to the sandy beach. I know we didn't cause this change; it may have been the lengthening of the nearby jetty or changes in building codes.
