Nature turns trash to treasure

How is it that Nature so often manages to turn ugliness made by civilized humans into something beautiful, once people stop trashing a place. :awesome:

epic win :)

Mother nature, you're awesome! :D

haha that's awesome, I'd still be pretty cautious walking there barefoot though ;)

That brightens my day :) thanks Aurora. I was feeling down reading so many articles about destruction

All that we need to do, is to stop making it worse, and give nature a chance to catch it's breath.

Me too. I just had that article about the methane bubbles, then a study about increasing income inequality and falling lifespans in Germany, the whole Euro-"crisis" stuff, Canada going away from climate change policies and the whole Durban conference turning into a big fail and more radioactive water leaking into the Pacific in Fukushima - at these times, I am happy to see such a thing - gives me confidence that at the present in many cases it would be enough if humans stopped trashing the planet and it will recover in a beautiful way...

That is so cool. Nature always finds a way. :)

Beauty is a difficult concept, as they are still bits of glass, just corroded into a more pleasant shape for touching and all that.

Then again maybe we have aesthetic preference for round forms as opposed to jagged ones, and this could possibly originate from the sensation how sharp things are painful, and pain is bad and thus not pretty.

The beauty in it for me is not that the glass looks pretty, I mean that's a nice plus, but the beauty is that nature has turned a polluted beach that was dangerous and uninhabitable to most macro-scopic creatures into one that is now safe, and liveable.

That really improved my day, just on it's own. Thank you for posting, Aurora. :)

I loves Nature, especially when I read stories like these <3 Next I want to hear about how whoever ordered the dumping of glass has contracted some new found incurable disease :war:

Just a few more decades and you'll have a nice sand beach :)

In other words, beauty in functionality.

You can see these at most beaches in small quantities, but this is interesting. Of course, it's an obvious physical process since glass is less resistant to erosion than stone, but unprecedented on such a scale, and looks nice :P
