Indy-Anna Bones was exploring Broken Glass Beach in Dead Horse Bay, way down in South Brooklyn.

Dead Horse Bay

Brooklyn, NY

The beach is littered with trash and glass, and tangles of rusty metal.

Some glass was polished smooth by years of waves, other jars remained still intact.

To reach the beach, Indy-Anna needed to follow a path through a forest of reeds and vines.

'Dead Horse Bay' was named for the horse rendering plant that dumped there. Cut sections of brown bone are scattered among the glass.

Print is better!

Doo-dads and sea specimens were everywhere.

Indy-Anna performed a thorough search.

She left no box unexplored.

Some finds gave her pause.

She collected the bones as a tribute to the horses.

The End
