The Beach
Personal memory by Jade ROSAIRE
2010 CE • Reunion Island
I remember going to the beach every week-end with my friends and family, we would go there early and enjoy the sun on our skin, playing in the water and looking for fishes. No we can't go anymore because the shoreline is receding. I remember a specific tree with its peculiar silhouette, perfects for adults as he was giving shade and was far away from the sea so you ould'nt be annoyed by people walking near you. Now this tree's roots are showing and he is nearly in the water; it is a very sad view.
