Remnants of Icarus
Icarus is the character from Greek mythology who tried to escape Crete on wings crafted by his father. Foolish boy didn’t heed his father’s warning not to fly too close to the sun. Wax, that held his wings together, melted and sent Icarus crashing into the sea where he drowned. I imagined this was part of the wreckage, washed ashore.
This scene was taken on the beach at Kewaunee, WI. (Not close to Crete…but, of course, it would have taken awhile to reach our shores.)
