It was too beautiful day, and it's kinda shame that I had to work today.
I felt like drive to the beach even though it's little cold.
So, I use my "lunch break (in general because I do not eat daytime)" to drive to the beach in Fujiwara where is about 10 -15 minute driving from my office.
Unfortunately, the sun was covered by clouds when I got there, but the view there was gorgeous as usual. I saw some sort of the construction materials covered by the yellow sheets on the beach.
On the construction sign on the walk way, I found those construction materials were the base of the coastal levees that they were building there to protect the beach area by tsunami.
Around there was one of many areas in the city that got affected by tsunami on March 11, 2011. People who live there got two choices; either they keep the beautiful beach as is with the danger of tsunami, or build the coastal levees so they get protected from tsunami.
It was little sad that how they decided, but it needs to be done for their lives.
Within couple years or so, people will not be able to see the beach, and instead, they will be seeing the grey concrete walls.
After the walls are built and anybody who is not from around this area asked me what the walls for, I will answer them -

"TITANS."
