Today thousands have been placed around the world to dissipate the energy of the ocean at harbor entrances. One such location is here in Crescent City, CA. where a long walk along a breakwater finds a jumble of dolosse guarding the harbor late in the day.
I had originally seen them from some distance and knew there was something worth the walk. It became a bit of a study in design and skill climbing among these monoliths of concrete and steel, searching for just the right arrangement of shapes. I was only seeing this entire location in black and white which helped narrow my point of view and my final choice.
