Trashy Tuesday: Rust

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Rust is beautiful. I’m a little obsessed with it. Now, I’ll just let you enjoy these photos taken in La Jolla at Children’s Pool. I love how nature leaves it mark on the things we create. It’s lovely.

I’m still here! I promise. Life’s been crazy the past few months with moving from the East Coast to the West Coast and all. We’ve been without a home of our own for a month, living out of suitcases, eating out way too much and staying with family here and there. But, we’ve found a little time between house hunting and moving to enjoy the beach! This was the first time I’ve stood on the beach in two years since we left Hawaii! It felt so good. More to come…

Old Dump Kauai

While not your conventional beach experience, visiting Glass Beach on Kauai was a lovely adventure! We hopped over to Kauai a couple years ago while living in Honolulu. While we were there, we stopped off at Glass Beach. There is a dump off to the left just around the bend where the glass comes from. Decades ago, locals used to dump their old cars and trash at this spot. Now it’s a lovely weathered wall of fused, rusted metal. The old car parts and garbage are uniform in their orangey-brown goodness, and have become one with the rocks and earth. It’s really remarkable.

Here are some snaps of what we experienced. It’s amazing how beautiful and interesting trash and decay can become, isn’t it? Want more info on Glass Beach? Check out this article.
