Mangrove Graveyard

There are a lot of deceased mangroves in the ocean on this stretch of beach.

The healthy mangroves are behind me along the waters edge, but sometimes they escape into the ocean and after storms they die.

I think they still look quite interesting though.

Do you know if this is natural dying or a climate change issue? They still have beautiful structure against the colors of the sky and water.

There is something so beautiful about dead trees in water.


@joansmor @shutterbug49 I don't think it is anything to do with climate change. There are lots of healthy mangroves just behind where I took this shot. The grow all along the waters edge on this stretch of beach. I think it is just that some of the roots and trees head too far into the ocean and after storms they get damaged and die.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

The gnarly branches and trunks remind me of arthritic hands. Even though they're dead, they seem to have life left in them as they reach upwards.

[Shutterbug]

@onewing I’m glad there are still lots of healthy ones.

[Boxplayer]

Amazing shapes.

[eDorre]
