Went to Discovery Park this afternoon, and walked along the shore, inspecting the driftwood. I was struck by how similar to bones the driftwood is, with its organic shapes and curves, the bleached and figured whiteness, even the sockets and mortises, both man-made and natural.
It seemed like a boneyard for some fantastically large and ungainly species, the deeply textured bones and disassembled joints, ropes and kelp strands for sinews and ligaments.
