Photo Challenge: Story

We made it to Friday! Last week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post was “Story” and I wanted to find a photo of mine that told a visual story but at the same time made you wonder what the real story was.

I took this photo in November when on a field trip with some students on a beach clean up trip. We went to Island Beach State Park for a few hours and the rangers provided us with gloves and garbage bags. Upon walking on to the beach it looked pristine, empty, and beautiful. But once we started digging a bit under the top layer of sand we found so much garbage! You can see students in the photo with bags full of garbage. We found some pretty interesting things – things that we figured we’d find like chip bags and wrappers and some pretty nasty things that I won’t disgust you with! If you want to know, just let me know in the comments and I’ll reply!
