 North Coast Trash Good evening all, one of my readers wrote to me and said, I love your daily photos but why do you post photo of trash?? My answer to this is, Awareness!! Curacao is just like any other country, they have a big trash problem here and very little seems to be done about it. This amazing pile-o-trash, mostly floating plastic items is at the mouth of Saint Joris Bay on the beautiful North coast. That’s our dear Emily standing above the trash heap looking down onto it wondering just where did all of it come from?? Every time we get big waves from a storm or high tide this stuff gets deposited here and every year this pile just gets bigger and bigger. For the life of me I personally can’t figure out why the government here doesn’t clean this stuff up, it’s located in prime tourist area and is seen by everyone that visits. So friends do your best to recycle your plastics and glass it really does help.
I had a very busy day starting at 7:00. I drove the dogs over to the salt ponds and we did a two hour hike and a little trail cleaning. When I got home I grabbed the bike and took off on a fast one hour ride. On my way back home on a trail I built I took a corner to fast and down I went in a cloud of dust! Good thing no one was around. I cut up my arm, elbow, hip and leg and crawled home on a semi broken bike, it’s like we say, if your not bleeding, your not speeding!! After that I put my underwater camera together and went to work and did a two hour snorkel with the dolphins, yeah I know rough life. I really didn’t get any great shots today the dolphins kept their distance, they really hate these big underwater cameras! After that I went back home and worked in my little studio playing with sea urchins again and by the time I finished it was dinner time!!
Hop all is well with you guys, talk to you soon, Barry
