Some time ago a group of divers decided to do some underwater cleaning in one of the most beautiful beaches around here. Their goal was to get everyone's attention to the pollution of the Atantic. The amount of trash they got it's just unthinkable. I was shocked!
It's sad: people have always seemed to think the ocean was a convenient garbage can. I was shocked to learn recently that the City of Victoria (B.C.) - across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from us - sends its raw, untreated sewage straight into the Strait.
Cool shot Joan! I hope you two made it home safe and sound! We'll miss you here in Charleston!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph.
ReplyDeleteA sad reminder, though, of the state of our oceans.
Slowly but surely the sea is trying to rid itself of an unwanted item. I wonder how many years it takes salt water to decompose iron?
ReplyDeleteA nice photo that makes a statement!
We humans just spread our trash everywhere!
ReplyDeleteThe elements will swallow it up one day.
ReplyDeleteThis causes one to ponder what happened to the rest of the vehicle.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's been there for a while.
ReplyDeletei do like the rust, but not for trash.

ReplyDeleteInteresting. I am surprised it's been there for so long.
ReplyDeleteA sad sign of our times hey Kate, been there a while by the look of those barnacles!
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame. I hate to see beautiful beaches despoiled by such junk!
