we went to a short beach called “short beach”, and i don’t know if i’ve ever been on beach that’s all rocks instead of sand
the sound the rocks made as the water retreats and the stones shift and collide sounded like soft crackling thunder to me. i was grateful to discover a new sound
listen:
@cabel Only one time after a massive storm in San Diego, all of Torrey Pines beach was gone and stones were in it’s place😳
Then I came to Japan, and many beaches are made of tangerine-sized stones.
In Itoigawa, near Niigata City, the river washes down jade, and people pick through literal miles of stones looking one tiny shiny green lump. 🫒
It is part of a UNESCO geo park!
