Biofouling ??

Anecdotal pictures from my beach house.

Near Bowling Ball Beach - about half a mile North of my place. Purpose of picture was to capture gnarly piece in the middle of the photo which was a lot "cooler" than it appears in the photo.





























Private beach (no name) directly below house at low tide.


























Gualala Point Beach (near town about 4 miles South)





























The reality is that stuff gets picked pretty clean shortly after it hits the beach. The North Coast Cali beaches are relatively pristine - no man made debris to speak of.

In answer to a person's question about what happens to biofouling. Ami walking on Gualala Point Beach. Gulls are voracious feeders, and they are well equipped to do so.


























Why it is called Bowling Ball Beach (at low tide), in case anyone was wondering. A unique confluence of geology and the forces of nature.





























For Johan, Swedish people do not screw around when building a cairn. Ami, adding the last touches beneath a glacier near Juneau, Alaska.
