    my partner enjoyed sunning topless by: bilinda Views[3786] We subconsciously link terms such as ‘pristine’ to our imaginings of Australia’s world famous coast and deny – or are simply oblivious to – the devastating reality of our own poor waste disposal procedures. What I'd hoped to capture was not the crystal seas and golden sands that we depart to when we daydream, but the actuality of its true, current state. The Kurnell Oil Refinery provides a backdrop against La Perouse, a popular family beach which also harbours local native bird species such as gulls, herons and pelicans of whose typical diet derives from the sea. Not only does the refinery release a range of pollutants into the air including Sulphur Dioxide, but it also releases waste to ocean drains in the surrounding waters. In heavy rain, oily substances can be seen flowing into Botany Bay, creating a temporary ‘slick’ on the surface. by: zoeaarcher Views[2074] I am often bewildered by the things that can be found having been flushed out of the drains from the gutters of streets surrounding. In a troubling way their assortment can sometimes create a colourful, abstract sight of which is, perhaps, part of the reason we subconsciously turn our heads to the concern at hand. I barely turn an eye towards the fragments of glass that have been weathered by the sea for so long that they, as the waste seen here, eventually become a part of the natural landscape. In the near future will our children be building castles of sand or of our generation’s garbage? by: zoeaarcher Views[1057] As I gaze out along the entire surface of the sea where the waves crash in on the shore, countless plastic bottles, cans and other trash create a black sludge-like body of debris that churns and toils in the chaos caused by a large storm. by: zoeaarcher Views[1114]
     
    A Silver Gull fruitlessly paces the shoreline in search of something edible, finding nothing but cigarette butts, weathered segments of Styrofoam packaging and whatever other plastic and processed remnants of garbage are flushed out of the storm water drains into the sea. Each piece of which it first tastes before determining, hopefully, that it will not be able to and should not attempt to digest. I fear greatly for those organisms who are unable to differentiate between what should and should not be eaten, or those whose hunger has precedence over their decision making. by: zoeaarcher Views[1099] Goa is world famous for its beaches and bikini babes found in the beaches. The most lively beach of Goa is Calangute Beach. Also,beach sports are source of entertainment for the travellers and local people. by: artist-mukherjee Views[4218] A causal fisherman at work. After the day job, a man is seeing carrying a fishing rod, still lingering on his hobbies with sunset at the background. by: johnsonlens Views[758] The Beautiful beaches we have in Western Australia. People enjoyed sun-bathing while enjoying the view of ocean after a hard-day at work. by: johnsonlens Views[867] Sunset Glory: Picture seen with the Sun settling down behind curtains of clouds yet radiating strong rays of lights. This shows there will always be light and hope regardless of situation. by: johnsonlens Views[1090]
