Day 109 - a Year by the Sea
April 19, 2007 by OrientSee.
On the way out to the MarshHenge outlook, there are several standing pools, 8 - 10 inches deep, that the path traverses. Today the pools are less deep but covered with little bubbles and patches of oil slick. The slicks puzzle me. It’s too far for the average slob to go to dump oil. All kinds of construction waste and debris get dumped on the margins of the marsh (less nowadays than it used to be) but no one walks several hundred yards just to dump a quart of oil. That’s too much work. I don’t know of any natural source. That leaves our favorite bad neighbor, Logan Airport. With the amount of traffic that passes overhead, it is likely that some leak and even a little bit will settle to the ground. Nasty stuff but in this case, it is actually quite striking.
Ciao!
