Despite the large waves, artists stacked stones and debris near the pier. There is noticeable damage on some of the cross bracing.

Pete Ippel, the son of a dancer and a musician, was born in Oak Park, Illinois and has been surrounded by the arts since birth. He moved to Morris, Illinois in 1989 and started to participate in athletics rather than dance. After high school, Pete attended Cornell University where he received a BA in psychology and a BFA in photo / digital art making. He continued to follow his sporting dreams in the high jump, which culminated in a school record leap of 7 feet 1/2 inch in 2001.
In May 2004 he attained an MFA degree in the New Genres department of the San Francisco Art Institute. Presently Pete is a practicing artist whose work is in numerous private collections and has been exhibited in New York, California, and internationally.
Mr. Ippel resides in Working Artists Ventura, a sustainable artist community in southern California. In addition, he teaches art, is a web developer, an active blogger, and still high jumps from time to time.
As a passionate problem solver and a pragmatic optimist, Pete’s art and his life are full of exciting challenges.

Funny, rock stacking is big up here in the Adirondack region as well…it’s that weird connection between the ocean/beach and the mountains…as vastly opposite as they are, they are incredibly similar too
I have also seen the rock stacking on the shore of Lake Michigan near Chicago and also right up on the Bay in Aquatic park in San Francisco.
