Description

is another man's art. Another shot from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium exhibit on ocean polution. Lit from behind, as it is here, this exhibit looks like art, but it's made of trash collected from the North Pacific Gyre which is a giant area in the North Pacific where flotsam and jetsam congregates because of the currents. Enjoy

outstanding work. Sort of one of those "one man's trash, is another man's treasure." If only we could find a way to recycle this mess into objects that brought pleasure and not pain. Very nicely photographed.

This 'ART' here looks better, than any fractal art I have ever seen! ;) Gorgeous colours, it's just so sad to believe, that this is for real - no lessons learned by some careless people ... where will it all end? but we know that already! :( thanks Dennis ;) - for sharing reality :( BB

Amazing work. :))) It is very sad to see and to hear about all of the trash that is our oceans. :( I heard there was an area of trash as big as Texas floating out in the ocean. :( I do not litter at all, and I taught my kids at a very young age to never litter. :)))))) My kids would go over to their grand-parents house for the weekend when they were young, and when they came home they would come and tell me that their grand-parents littered. :))) I would tell them to say please don't litter our beautiful world with trash. :)))) The capture is most amazing my friend. :)))) Thank you for sharing. :))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :)))))

This is very art-worthy, despite its source! What comes to my mind is, just think of how much additional garbage sank beneath the surface to spend an eternity on the ocean floor! The crabs must be angry!

This is a really big problem, the oceans are full of plastic garbage. I've read that plastic waste does not float on the surface only. It is estimated that 70 per cent decline on the sea floor, it caused many toxic substances. This image is a reminder to the people. Superb shot.
