For many years Glass Beach was a spot in Russia that nobody could walk on. The name was given because the beach was littered with old wine bottles, vodka bottles, and beer bottles. They were all broken from their time in the water after being dumped off of boats and ships. They would wash up on shore and the beach was literally covered with broken glass. Now, decades after this started happening, the glass is now smooth and a very popular destination to visit. The water over that amount of time, eventually rounds off the sharp edges of the broken glass. The beating the glass pieces take in the water for that long turns them into smooth, colorful pieces that look like gem stones. It’s not an overnight process though. It takes decades for one piece of broken glass to be turned into this beautiful sight. Now that enough of them have been transformed, this once unwalkable beach is now one of the most beautiful areas in the world. People love to visit it and pick out their favorite pieces and take them home. Collecting gorgeous looking pieces like these can’t be a bad hobby at all.
