and anybody who had a survey course in geology had a big laugh at the architect's expense. Imagine the slosh a few storms down the line as the sedimentary rock gets too chewed up to hold that monstrosity in place!

Even that wouldn't foul up nearly a mile of sheer cliffs. From a distance, it would look like just another shadow. It would share the misfortune of the sea cliff house, though, because the mountains to the east are sedimentary rock.
