Not All Things Return to the Earth

Yesterday was another beautiful day. I decided to walk the path in my neighborhood that leads to a small beach. Upon first arriving, it was a beautiful sight with the sun in the blue sky and geese swimming near the shore.

After walking around a bit, however, I began noticing an obscene amount of garbage strewn along the beach. As a conscientious person, I always hate seeing the quantity of waste that we, as humans, produce and allow to take up in our world. As a photographer, however, I must admit that I enjoy these kinds of scenes. It may sound cliche but the juxtaposition of beauty and debris is eye catching and makes for compelling composition.
