Folly Island is an eroding barrier island. The powers that be have started “beach nourishment” by pumping sand from a little ways offshore to augment the eroding beach. The pumped sand is much coarser than the wind and wave driven natural sand.

The erosion means there’s a sort of small “cliff” at the tide line. Ghost crabs seem to have trouble making it back up the cliff.

But, based on their tracks, they are able to make it up eventually.

There are no large diameter trees that grow this far north of the Arctic Circle, the maximum size mostly only 6 inch birch and similar sized knotty conifers. This church was painstakingly built over a number of years by the landowner out of lumber harvested from the farm his family has long owned. One has to wonder about the number of hours that were spent with hand tools during the construction. Truly a labor of love.
