The record
The timber poles at St Clair Beach are remnants of a groyne built to trap sand moving along the shore.
In the print, the posts run diagonally from the sand into blue-green surf. Their brown shapes and shadows lead towards a low headland. The illustration shows one arrangement of the posts, without claiming a current count or level of exposure.
What this print shows
I let the posts enter close to the lower edge and recede through the surf because that diagonal separates St Clair from a generic beach. The restrained headland supplies location without competing with the foreground. Commercial Esplanade details and the pool were omitted. The spacing of the posts serves the image, while the text remains clear that coastal exposure changes over time.
