I recently took [livejournal.com profile] jstregyr to Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, which was once the site of the town dump. (Back in the day, they just heaved their trash over the cliff.) Now, about half the mass of the beach consists of polished glass.





Basically it's heaven for OCDers that want to find rare bits of beach glass. It was a bit surreal, as there were SO many people sorting through pebbles. It's a strangely compelling habit, kind of relaxing actually.



The scenery is otherwise quite dramatic.

The glass makes for a nice little desk accessory. The endless shades of green and white are particularly pleasant to look at.

Somewhere in the last few weeks I saw a little factoid about how beach glass combers are having a tough time these days- the rise of plastic containers has made finding glass more and more difficult.

Lovely pictures- thank you for sharing 'em
