Glass Beach – The Dump You’ll Want to Visit
Before you say anything about the content of this article, I hate people who litter. I’ll judge you if I think you’re too lazy to recycle. I hate pollution and the death of our fragile ecosystems and all the rest. But- with that disclaimer out of the way- Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, California is the incredible result of human wastefulness and the resilience of nature. It’s like a little Inuksuk… I’ve been trolling around for lesser known landscapes to road trip to and explore, and stumbled across this chunk of multicoloured west coast paradise. These days, Glass Beach is a protected part of MacKerricher State Park, but in 1949, it was the site of an unrestricted dump. Eventually, California realized that dumping automobiles, appliances, toxic substances and razor sharp shards of glass into the water was probably a bad idea, and looked elsewhere for a dumping site. The beaches under the cliffs lay polluted, cluttered and ruined, and were basically treated as a forgotten ‘mistake.’
Top 10 stops for Central America first-timers
The green cufflinks between North and South America, these seven compact countries would be easy to skip on a map. Yet they represent a complex web of cultures, ancient ruins, tropical wildlife and adventure. For starters, try climbing lava-gurgling volcanoes with perfect cones that poke above the cloud line. Beyond the beaches, there are hidden Maya, Kuna and Miskito villages, haciendas turned language schools and the cobbled streets of beautiful Spanish-colonial towns, where vendors push squeaky carts of fresh corn or shaved ice. 1. Certainly the most striking feature of Tikal is its steep-sided temples, rising to heights of more than 44 meters. 2. Nineteenth-century traveler and chronicler John L Stephens, writing in Incidents of Travel in Central America, called Lago de Atitlán 'the most magnificent spectacle we ever saw,' and he'd been around a bit. 3. 4. 5. Honduras’s Bay Islands move to a lyrical reggae beat and offer some of the best diving and snorkeling in Central America. 6.

A Quiet, Snowy Village in Japan
Ouchijuku Village, Japan For some reason, these photos look calm. Yet in reality, a blizzard raged and the muted glow of the snow-plough’s headlights provided just enough light to let me capture this scene: fragile, snow-cloaked candles beneath an otherwise relentless black sky. Sleet assaulted our eyes, abraded our cheeks and hounded our cameras, while our voices had long since been swept away. This street, a beautifully preserved row of thatched cottages from Japan’s Edo Period, is only 300 metres long. Walking it under these conditions, felt like 300 years. Ouchijuku Village used to be an important staging post on the route between Imaichi and Aizu Wakamatsu. As does this photo of a woman waiting for us as we arrived at our hotel. Disclosure: I visited Japan in 2011 as a guest of the tourist board.
