A wooden boardwalk winds its way across Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. At first glance, this image may seem unremarkable—a simple stretch of wood against the backdrop of nature. Yet, what captured my attention was the seagrass swaying gracefully in the same direction as the curve of the boardwalk.

It made me wonder: could the relentless winds of Cape Breton be the silent architects behind this meandering path?

Just a little food for thought.
