They say you should never shoot into the sun, but I rather like this picture of morning light on the seafront at #Seaham Beach. It's particularly famous for glass 'pebbles' and people come here especially for #seaglass collecting. It's about the best 'recycling' I've ever heard of. All the result of a glass factory offloading their waste into the sea. By 1872, John Candlish's Londonderry Bottle Company had six glasshouses at Seaham. At the end of the day, any discarded and waste glass was dumped into the sea. After many years of 'surf tumbling' the it is now washed up on Seaham beaches with every tide. Some of the glass is more than a hundred years old, polished smooth by the salty water and the movement of the sea.
