Thanks Moose. That's a lovely place. It reminded me, in some ways,
of a little chapel we found in the Tetons. The design was much more
conventional, but it was a magical little wooden shack nonetheless.
And I sympathise with the outcry against the loss of the coast to the
development. Too often wild and beautiful places are developed like
that, denying its availability to hoi polloi ...
