The beaches of Laguna are an ideal setting for observing the grandiosity of the natural world, as this picture lyrically demonstrates. Before human memory, these shores have witnessed this elemental battle. The cool waters of the Pacific, restive as ever, roll powerfully over the unmoving stones. The misty waters engulf the rocks with a resounding forward sweep, and then retreat back with the motion of the tide. With each successive wave, the water removes an imperceptibly small fraction of stone. As the centuries pass, the ocean patiently carves the rocks into sculptures of beauty and strength.
