flotsam and jetsam

5+2 weekly selfie challenge- in the trash

I walked along the beach and collected a bulging bag of rubbish, some of it has been there for months and months, mostly numbskulls flinging their drink and food containers, but much of it bits and bobs off fishing boats.
(I took it home and put it in the trash after)

I have always had a morbid fascination with the idea of finding a dead body on the beach....
A fresh dead body! Cool idea Kali! I like the angle of your body. (Looks uncomfortable though lol)

Your creativity and expression always amaze!

what would you do if you found a body? I only find the occasional dead fish..or plastic chairs!
August 16th, 2013  
I know. I always think, "Damn, if I step on a dead body today....." Nice of you to clean up after the pigs.

Slightly weird but great idea - for both the image and the trash clean up.

One time, I found a big red heavy duty rubber glove, so I filled it up with sand, so it were solid. I then buried just below the high tide line so the hand was reaching up and out of the sand. For an extra touch, I draped a bit of seaweed over the fingers.

I walked away.

cool idea. A bit morbid, but cool. I really dislike it when people litter.

Awesome pic, a bit morbid but so well executed!

@kali66 @northy @mijade - I wanted to hide in the sand dunes and wait to see someone's reaction as they walked along the beach... but weird cats hide out in sand dunes, and I didn't want to be labelled with that lot.

@bobfoto we all have depths to which we will not sink ;p

@northy - I was young and there was a girl I was a bit keen for, but she always had a bf. During the school camp where I found the rubber glove above, I heard her screaming from the sand dunes and a bunch of us ran up to help expecting to see a snake but she found some old guy in his budgie smugglers fiddling with himself because there were all these school kids on the beach. She was wondering the sand dunes because she saw a rabbit and then came and saw this creep. She screamed out and he ran off. She said he smelt like Brut 33 (a cheap aftershave)...

icky.

@northy - wondering = wandering.

@bobfoto ok - that's gonna be something that sticks with ya... ick!

@northy - I think we've well and truly hi-jacked Kali's thread... hope she's cool wit' that?
August 18th, 2013  
lol @northy @bobfoto brings to mind a rather unpleasant experience I had as a student, coming back to my flat to finding a so and so doing just that on our front steps!!!!!!I ran.

@northy @kali66 - when I was in High School, us boys would go to a nearby school and 'befriend' the ladies there. At the time there was talk of a perve who was exposing himself to the girls. One of the young ladies decided to take a polaroid camera and catch the guy in the act.

She took the photo. And decided it was time to take said picture into the police and catch a weirdo.

Her composition was a bit out. His head was cut-off.
