DescriptionTwo children crouch in the sand along the shore of Fishers Island, New York. There are piles of sand between them, and a few sticks. Waves crash on the beach to their left, and the sand extends behind them and to the right. In the distance, on the right, a mountain rises up from the water's edge.
