Decay

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 5 August 2007 in Animal & Insect.

Yesterday I visited Enoshima, it was the first time for me to go to a beach in Japan, I spent a nice time with some of my friends but I didn't like that the beach was dirty with a lot of garbage left by people. As I was walking around the beach I found three dead fishes and one dead turtle, =|
I hope to visit a really nice and beautiful beach in Japan someday, if anyone has a recommendation please let me know.

Enoshima. August 4th, 2007.

This is cool because the way you took the picture makes the fish look huge.

When the picture was opening I thought it was the bones of the big dead animal. "Just where had he gone!?", I said. And then, this in my mind, I read that Enoshima "Hiroshoma" at first. Oh, my God!!!
Very beautifully composed, Alfredo!

Lucca from Cologne, Germany

As I first looked at this image I thought it must be a huge animal. Great perspective! I wish you'll find another beach with not that much garbage and dead animals. Btw. how are the beaches in Panama, Alfredo?

kairospix from Singapore, Singapore

very good shot of details
but it reminds me of how horrific it was for the many who dies when the A-bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on 6 Aug 1945...
the devastation was worse than this dead rotting fish...
may it never happen again

@kairospix: You read my mind Kairospix, the photo I will post for August 6th is related to the A-Bomb but I could not post it before your comment, thank you very much!

This pic reminds me somewhat of a desert. Poor fish... the title reminds me of "sequel of decay" (Tristania).

@paperdoll: Thank you very much Paperdoll!

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States

Sad to say but the beaches here are the same. I had the similar feelings while taking some of the shots I'm posting as "A Day by the Bay." Great shot, though.

@Twelvebit: Thank you very much Twelvebit, it is sad to see how we are affecting the environment, the results are unpleasant and shocking!
