Mountains jut out of the sea or give it space in respect for its constant pounding forces, but something will or has stood between them. The scale of the place in between changes with the tides and the place, expanding and contracting over centuries. What happens in this space is entirely up to creativity and action on the part of a dweller or traveler. The steepest of meeting points between the sea and earth can be carved out for a road or terraced for a town. The flattest of beaches can be left natural or used for agriculture. Cliff edges can be perches for sightseers or springboards for adventurers. Birds and animals live in this space and so do lucky people. The mountains give them something to rest against. The sea gives something to swim, fish and get lost in. What stands between is possibility.
