When the sea swallows up the war memories

This week I wrote a blog entitled “When nature covers the war” and as a result I mentioned in a reaction the bunkers along the Baltic coast that are swallowed up by the sea and that this is a powerful sight. The memory is still fresh but it's been 3 years since I visited them anyway. Oh, my goodness, time has passed quickly. I also wanted to share these photos with you to show how the earth cares about the legacies that we as humanity do not have to be proud of. That our sense of invincibility is an illusion. And that we can think that we all decide it, but that Mother Nature really thinks differently about it. She puts things in order with patience. I had to look up exactly where these bunkers were, which is on the Latvian coast.

When Mother Earth existed well and well
Man appeared last on stage
Who, nevertheless, found himself entitled
dramatically around playing the boss
Yet he comes in all eternity
Not separate from its original sources
And does not give him profit to his environment
If that on progress is regained
When he gives nature out of his hands
To reach the old cycle
Man discovers that he is part of it
Although he's only just come to see
Threes of Erase
