Cairn or rock art on the beach

Because of the cold and a few other things going on, I haven't been able to make it to the beach for a walk since well before Christmas, so this morning I needed a virtual beach visit so I found this shot I took last summer to edit and share.
I was walking along the Boardwalk near by Silver Sands State Park that morning and saw this rock Cairn I guess you would call it, built and had to walk over and get some shots of it.

What would you call this?

I know some call it a Cairn which I understand by definition is a mound of rough stones built as a memorial or landmark, typically on a hilltop or skyline.
I know people sometime build these cairns on hiking tracks and such where they are meant to mark a safe path or route, so I am not sure that strictly speaking i would call it a Cairn to me its more Rock Art.
Whatever its called who ever built this sure must have put a lot of time into it its a pretty impressive piece of beach art..
When I visited this same spot about a week later it was all gone probably washed over by a high tide.

This looks really fantastic!

Thanks I thought so to

looks like a great place to relax and enjoy your surroundings....very zen-like!

Zen like yes that is so true
Thanks for your visit

There are so many things in life we should call art. And this is one of them. Your photo is an art, those stones are art, the beautiful background of ocean and the clouds is an art. There is so much beauty and art around us. :)

Great piece of art my friend. Thank you for sharing it with us. :)

And thanks for your visit and support

Art is all around us and we need to be open to see it

Just like you did, my friend. It is all around us. :)

Thanks and have a great day

Must have taken you a long time to stack all those rocks ;)

Ohh yes I wonder how long and how many people did it

That was an impressive rock art. Good shot as always from you bro!

Thanks kindly my friend

Thats awesome, must have taken a while to build.

I'm guessing it's just some well thought out beach art.

An amazing photo Jay!! It's astounding the things we can see on a walk and I'm glad you saw it and got photos!!

Thanks your always so kind and supportive

You're very welcome Jay!!

😎👍🚂

I would consider it rock art since its so easily knocked over by the tides.

Yes that’s a very good point
