We came across this fence on our road trip last Spring, near a beach. I am assuming this collection is what the owners found on the beach and started their own lost and found department. Or maybe it was just an artsy piece. Or more importantly cleaning up everyone’s mess and a reminder to us all to take home whatever we bring with us, that our oceans have enough rubbish in them, that we need to be more ecologically responsible. Whatever the answer, I found it a very interesting display of beach clutter, and it left a lasting impression.
Wowsers.
ReplyDeleteWe are filling the oceans with our plastic discards. Not good. NOt good at all.
No EC, definitely not good at all.
DeleteI love this, it is so creative! While at the same time, cleaning up other people's junk!
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny, it is amazing what we find on the beach when we take even the shortest walk. Yes, clever creativity on one hand, and all that junk in the other.
DeleteThat's a good new destination.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
Greetings Filipinos, and thank you.
DeleteIt's a good idea to shame the nation like this. I wonder if anyone claims something from that display?
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't my intention to shame anyone Valerie, more a reminder not only to others but to myself. And not just for the beach but for everything in my life. Wherever possible I am doing my best to not use anything with plastic, and hopefully one day they will invent a disposable kind.
DeleteWhen you look at all that stuff on the fence it's incredible to contemplate how much of it is made of plastic.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's amazing.
DeleteGreat idea and very creative too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy :)
DeleteHello Denise, that is funny. A lost and found fence. Or it could be their crafty way of decorating? Looks cool! Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, glad you enjoyed it and have a happy day and weekend also :)
DeleteThat is quite different.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too.
Deleteoh i just love stuff like this, i'm glad you stopped to take pictures!!
ReplyDeletehave a lovely weekend!!!
Me too Debbie, and wishing you a lovely weekend also.
DeleteHi Denise,
ReplyDeleteI can understand the flip flops and most of the other items but what do you use a funnel for on the beach? Great idea mind and as David said, look how much is made of plastic.
All the best, John
That crossed my mind too John. All the best to you too.
DeleteIt looks like an art installation!
ReplyDeleteIt was very artsy.
DeleteI think it must be lost and repurposed beach finds! They definitely brightened up the fence!
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are Christine.
DeleteThat fence makes me smile. Good idea and great visual reminder that you might have forgotten something.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you enjoyed the fence Ellen.
DeleteVery interesting and artistic.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteEnjoyed this post and everyone’s comments, Denise. The fence hangings coule be both a lost and found collection or just a personal statement. I wondered if anyone would have claimed anything. And, yes we try to avoid some types of packaging too but not always possible, so responsible recycling is a solution.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorothy. I agree, recycling is another way to go.
DeleteDenise, love finding magical things. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Doug, me too and you are very welcome.
DeleteThis is hilarious, but it looks like amazing art!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn.
DeleteLots of stuff there. None of looks biodegradable. Lots of pairs of footwear.
ReplyDeleteAnd even swimwear on another part of the fence.
DeleteAmazing what people leave behind.
ReplyDeleteHi Lois, it certainly is.
DeleteCute! And quite colorful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda.
DeleteLove this -- art out of found objects (actually junk that would help to clog up our ocean, our life-blood) .. art that makes a statement for sure.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sallie, it does indeed.
