The rock sculptures along Moonlight Beach in Encinitas are humble constructions. They are not built for shelter or to keep one from getting lost. Their creator leaves no mark as to who he or she is.

Their very beauty is in their anonymity. Impermanent.  Collapsible. They can’t be sold and they don’t lend themselves to advertising. Statements of simplicity, these rock piles stand as shrines to quieter ways in the modern world.
