Beautiful Glass Beach Of Fort Bragg California

<div style="text-align: justify;">Glass Beach is a beach in MacKerricher State Park near Fort Bragg, California that is abundant in sea glass created from years of dumping garbage into an area of coastline near the northern part of the town.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPa90pyw7emdUsESTensCaY5KFu0MxHMi4DaDIEePWwBvO_K5Do8JVWdDCW6BwhRkHzGPO7uPLnwFvXoA6-7WQ80wA23uAKS-QHSHzwIBAuS5gzdYEa8TdFeekkfnxlJ85Nkf1JtFSolNK/s1600/045.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPa90pyw7emdUsESTensCaY5KFu0MxHMi4DaDIEePWwBvO_K5Do8JVWdDCW6BwhRkHzGPO7uPLnwFvXoA6-7WQ80wA23uAKS-QHSHzwIBAuS5gzdYEa8TdFeekkfnxlJ85Nkf1JtFSolNK/s640/045.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the early 20th century, Fort Bragg residents threw their household garbage over the cliffs above what is now Glass Beach. They discarded glass, appliances, and even cars. The land was owned at that time by the Union Lumber Company, and locals referred to it as <i>The Dumps</i>. Sometimes fires were lit to reduce the size of the trash pile.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRW3DKJK4rSAMYKnpsxIqvcgsELU5SjGM6P_zfH41NWwaN6MTRIxE2VQZB_mxpQr3hkYU6opEP2opKTfPfWWiR4PINSITXWJhZnA4Xxokf1BkyKHykZlG7oVeqK-TZGKdNQRBXJJfAdyvk/s1600/glass+beach+california+fort+bragg+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRW3DKJK4rSAMYKnpsxIqvcgsELU5SjGM6P_zfH41NWwaN6MTRIxE2VQZB_mxpQr3hkYU6opEP2opKTfPfWWiR4PINSITXWJhZnA4Xxokf1BkyKHykZlG7oVeqK-TZGKdNQRBXJJfAdyvk/s640/glass+beach+california+fort+bragg+1.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 1967, the North Coast Water Quality Board and city leaders closed the area. Various cleanup programs were undertaken through the years to correct the damage. Over the next several decades the pounding waves cleansed the beach, wearing down the discarded glass into the small, smooth, colored trinkets that cover the beach today.<br><br></div><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/08/beautiful-glass-beach.html#more">Click to read more »</a>

California Surfers Boys And Girls In 60's

<div style="text-align: justify;">As summer closing to end, we look back to history of surfing and some memorable photos of its activities.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Surf culture includes the people, language, fashion and life surrounding the sport of surfing. The culture began early in the 20th century, spread quickly during the 1950s and 1960s, and continues to evolve. It affected fashion, music, literature, films, jargon, and more. Surfers, who come from many walks of life, are bound by the hunt for great waves, the desire for the ultimate ride, and life in and around the ocean.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Aspects of 1960s surf culture in Southern California, where it was first popularized, include the woodie, bikinis and other beach wear, such as boardshorts or baggies, and surf music. Surfers developed the skateboard to be able to surf on land, and a number of other boardsports. Of these the most popular being snowboarding and skateboarding, in addition to other spin-offs that have grown out of the sport ever since.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div>Lets see how it’s look like to surf in California in early 60′s<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQ9lC4s_Ckti3EeiT0iUS74mVXD2VbxSNKlQdbUgWWBi29S7sUwnDcVjjbmgu9vdN4MrsebwH86w9UTAqGGrdHpHQjEYXVzRw0g5utcQqfy904tRdGRnapXlVXxp92ZpGaUXeJHMtt-pn/s1600/waikiki-surf-boards-vintage-497486.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQ9lC4s_Ckti3EeiT0iUS74mVXD2VbxSNKlQdbUgWWBi29S7sUwnDcVjjbmgu9vdN4MrsebwH86w9UTAqGGrdHpHQjEYXVzRw0g5utcQqfy904tRdGRnapXlVXxp92ZpGaUXeJHMtt-pn/s640/waikiki-surf-boards-vintage-497486.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFvGZc40n8yvF72cPzsybhMK8HNk41XmTqadi8TQtqK1QlE9wSshoILpK2fcIyDov-j3us4kEt1LFsMDrznwacvQA4gkPTvuSrKt1PUODaz1GmmBiwYbgIjmUg5A_-NePNEfm_qPKKYsc/s1600/surfers24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFvGZc40n8yvF72cPzsybhMK8HNk41XmTqadi8TQtqK1QlE9wSshoILpK2fcIyDov-j3us4kEt1LFsMDrznwacvQA4gkPTvuSrKt1PUODaz1GmmBiwYbgIjmUg5A_-NePNEfm_qPKKYsc/s640/surfers24.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/08/california-surfers-boys-and-girls-in.html#more">Click to read more »</a>
