#Kuwait - Rock no more

The rocks are now piled up besides the sand
From Kuwait 2013

I am not entirely sure, what those people are doing down at the beach this time. Since yesterday they are carting sand and rocks from left to right. As far as I can tell from here, there are no more rocks left on the (my) left side of the beach.
Update Nov 23rd: The tide has taken the rocks back into the ocean and you can only see them at very low tide. Still need to go down and take photos.

Not sure, if they want to make this a sweet nice sandy beach for the new resort that they are building at the 'Amir's place' (or whatever the heck that will be, when finished).

There was already no more sea glass after they removed the pier and all the other things which blocked the original tide line.

Due to the rocks missing, I didn't sea any sea urchins this year.

And if they remove all the rocks, all the snails (or whatever their correct name is) will be gone too.
With it, the few birdy migrants that still come here will have nothing to snack on, but the trash that floats in or that people leave behind. And there's enough of that.

Oh well, humans and their grand plans at work, again.
