THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

I spent some 10 or 12 days just waiting for the crabs to arrive because there’s only a very short window of opportunity during the very first days; 70 or 80 million crabs start migrating from the jungle to the beaches.  They mate, lay their eggs and disappear back into the jungle.  I think about them and I don’t know why.  I can’t explain it.  I know there’s something very big for example, to see the crabs crossing the railroad tracks, something that I can’t explain.
