Glass Beach





This looks like sand on a beach but this is actually trash as art. Glass "pebbles" along with abandoned metals (some with newfound patina) have washed up from an old dumpsite nearby, showing that decades of weather, too, can make art. This is Glass Beach in Port Allen, Kauai.

you know, we have a glass beach in northern california!
it is in the town of FORT BRAGG, about 3 hours north of where we live.

Thanks Rebeca, I did not know that. In fact I had never heard of such a thing until this beach in HI! Will be making a trip out out to CA in May, maybe we can meet up!
