During the early 20th century residents of Fort Bragg, California chose to dispose of their waste by hurling it off the cliffs above a beach. No object was too toxic or too large as household appliances, automobiles, and all matter of trash were tossed into the crashing waves below, eventually earning it the name The Dumps
. In 1967 the North Coast Water Quality Board closed the area completely and initiated a series of cleanups to slowly reverse decades of pollution and environmental damage. But there was one thing too costly (or perhaps impossible) to tackle: the millions of tiny glass shards churning in the surf. Over time the unrelenting ocean waves have, in a sense, cleansed the beach, turning the sand into a sparkling, multicolored bed of smooth glass stones now known as Glass Beach.++ Colossal

Merci pour cette belle information.J'adorerai me promener sur cette plage ! Cela me fait rêver ! Je découvre à cette occasion le reste de votre site qui est tout aussi extraordinaire ! C'est un vrai plaisir des yeux et de la connaissance des artistes qui réalisent des beaux travaux de part et d'autre de la planète. Merci à eux et à vous pour vous faire l'écho de leur travail. Cordialement.
