Ticky tacky boxes by the sea

Seemingly empty condos overlook a similarly empty path between the sand-strewn neighborhood and the ocean.

As the sun slowly rises and warms the once-cool morning air, vacationing families gradually awake to greet the new day, betraying the fact that none of this is empty at all.

This building doesn't look any different than any other piece of beachfront architecture, stacks of boxes standing ready to be boarded up by hurricane shutters at the first sign of trouble.

Yet on this morning, at this moment, they absorb the peace of a perfect sliver of Planet Earth, a reminder that I'm not the only one looking for inspiration, and that you can find bliss if you're willing to travel far enough from home.
