On each occasion I felt quite differently about them. On both occasions, though, the sheer unstiring presence as they stared out to sea was almost overwhelming. I've seen examples in other places too: the most memorable and notable being in San Giminiano.

It must be quite eerie to see them standing there while the sea gradually engulfs some of them.... like someone trying to commit suicide and all the others just watching.
