[Thursday’s run: 3.5 miles; today’s run: 6 miles]
Last weekend, sitting on our little balcony, looking out over the ocean. There was a sunbathing area just beyond our little spot.
I noticed that the railing on the sunbathing area was pretty level with the horizon. It’s that one the lady is leaning on. It does maybe fall of just a bit there on the left end between the lady and the lamppost.
I wondered, can people doing construction use the ocean horizon as an indication of levelness?

So, I wondered about your question and went looking. Still don’t have an answer exactly, but this blog link was fun to read…especially the comments. 🙂
