erosion: the act or state of eroding, the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers, winds, waves...
When I hear the word erosion, beauty does not come to mind. Jekyll Islands Driftwood Beach is an example of extensive erosion and also great beauty. Along a stretch of about a quarter mile is what I call a graveyard of oaks and pines that sit in the sand. These trees at one time survived on higher ground, but the sea and dredging in the ship channel has played a part in the erosion that leaves them stranded and dying in the powdery sand.
