cement superstructure

http://www.kinokultura.com/specials/10/laaniste-torim.shtml

cement- is it an overused material?   i asked myself this question because a sculpture in progress(a cement staircase), was being constructed at one of my favorite beaches.    It is not a good look for the beach or any beach, as they are beautiful only to the degree they can be kept natural.     They had already harmed the appearance of this beach by tarmac surfacing and landscaping the parking area, which was lovely before with interesting freestanding stones delineating space and just needed a bit of seamless resurfacing of the loose grit surface.         
 These new glaring hues and constructivist spaces re sculpt Tasmania's landscape  in the design direction of an English seaside slum park styled to get money off the proletariat in exchange for cheap paramilitary style holidays ie Butlands, Pontins and are also reminiscent of supermarket and kidi equipment design styles with their lunatic legoland grabrail design aura and obliteration of all visible tree limbs.

Marsupials and man

Bennetts Wallaby. At Cataract Gorge.       This wallaby and others are probably now placed in the park for tourists.     Having been largely exterminated by pressure of development, people and dogs so close to habitat.        Larger kangaroos are not around anymore.
