Bone beach 

 

Contest by Anthony Biaanco

Striking beach sculpted by Nature with massive drifting trees in cluster that turned white bone-like gesture being continuous washed by salty sea water and exposed in strong sunrays to bleach calling also bone yard beach. Raw rough whiteness reminding elephant grave yard. My personal visit ignited feelings of emptiness Strong sharp whiteness pricked me with pain of long-lost love. Few beaches carry colloquial names chicken bone beach owing to presence of chicken bones in some segregated shore lines. History reveals once African- Americans were not allowed to avail of restaurants, being bound to make their own food at sea beach, leaving left overs of chicken bones. Shameful display of discrimination ! Fossilised remnants or bones of sea creatures naturally deposited on sandy or rocky beaches cause sand chips littered with bleached bones. Natural transformation to bone beach. High possibility of skeletal remnants of marine creatures existing in abundance being abandoned in sea shores. subject to be bleached on continuous exposure of salinity, whirling wind and strong sunshine. If the percentage of bony deposit be high automatically bone beach to signify losing natural beauty of beach.
