Here we see the old and the new sea walls erected to protect the port of Ortona, on the Adriatic. I arrived minutes before the sun came over the horizon, a line barely visible between the sea and the sky. These massive blocks of concrete are one of several types of barricade I've seen in Italy. Years earlier, in Sicilia I found a seawall constructed of shapes much like a child's jack, only twelve feet in diameter, jumbled together to stop the intrusion of the Mediterranean. IT 107
