The beautiful/sad coral
By Annika | New Zealand | 4 Jul 2024
This piece made me think of how I saw a tiny coral reef in Samoa, with many fish swimming around it. It was beautiful to see corals for the first time, but it was also sad to see the dead pieces of white coral drifting ashore at that same beach.
