Grey is the color of Summer

Late Spring can be pretty grey in Aberdeen. This can be proved by the first picture which was taken in Balmedie, a beach few miles north of the city. It can be depressive but people always find a way of enjoying themselves. And one of the ways is doing a long lasting barbecue in the beach (in mid June the night only arrives at about 11pm). Barbecues are very common at this time of the year and when it is not raining. I found out, however, that most of the people leave the rubbish in the beach, this contributting to the millions of tonnes of litter that are washed away to the sea every year worldwide. Some volunteers usually offer to clean the beach afterwards, but where are people's brains? Sea litter is a huge problem for our oceans and there has not been an effective way to tackle this problem so far. In my view, individual action could make a difference.
