We often walk along the Cape Roger Curtis Sea Walk. It is a 4 km stretch of land that has spectacular views of the open ocean. I am often captured by the light that dances on the trees. Alders are interesting trees, they grow very fast and have a life of 25 years. When they are nearing the end they start to split. One will see long vertical splits in the wood. Water will get inside and then when a frost hits they will suddenly explode…no rhyme of reason as to where they will land.
