Coastal village
The green hill hulks above the town. Exhausted clouds are hunkered down among the cedars, silent, drear, at the descending of the year. Like building blocks set down in play, clutches of buildings crowd the way between the treeline and the shore: hangars, houses, a church, a store, all fragile-seeming, gaudy, thin. The dark woods always pressing in, such human handiwork appears a line of flotsam by the piers. (c)Tom Lips, August 30, 2019
