"POETIC POSTER DECAY"

DEAD HORSE BEACH

It was a gorgeous early Summer day last Tuesday and a favorite beach combing destination was calling.

Once a landfill and dump in the early 20th century, the remnants today are a study in beautiful decay, always rich with the odd juxtaposition of natural beauty and the imprint of a post industrial world.

The durability of plastic is always evident

The Empire State or (the state of the empire)

Once a snazzy whitewall cruiser on the streets of Brooklyn

Linoleum fragments are frequent finds.

Saddle up on a beach sculpture

a bit of graft on a beached boat

Fishing nets and fabric in a grand scale entanglement...

bottles and rusting metal

once an active tricycle,,,

down at the Dead Horse yacht club...

piece of beach flotsam.
