I was just in the Tigray region of Northern Ethiopia with Charity:Water building wells to provide clean drinking water to the poor in remote villages. The conditions are dire and the relief provided by these wells was so immediate and gratifying to see. Kids will no longer be at risk for dysentery, and women will no longer need to walk for hours to fetch water from dirty sources miles away. This means that not only will the entire community be healthier, but everyone can now attend school. A mere $20 provides clean drinking water for one person for 20 years. I would be honored if you donated and helped these folks out: www.charitywater.org/
Pretty soon, it may be prohibited from visiting this location on the Devil's River in Val Verde County. The Devil's River State Natural Area is currently up for sale, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that this state-owned property will be swapped as part of a land-and-money deal with another location several miles further down the river, which has greater access for the public. The Devil's River State Natural Area only touches a tiny slice of the river itself, which is considered the most untouched and pristine rivers in the state, and can only be accessed by the public in a couple of locations.
This spot, called 'Blue Spring', is less than a mile above where Dolan Creek feeds into the Devil's River. To reach it, you have to drive more than an hour north of Del Rio on the state highway, then turn off and drive about 25 miles on a bumpy dirt road to the state park, then walk another mile and a half past the closed gate. For the entire year of 2009, the park had about 850 visitors; an estimated 250 making their way to this spot (although several more arrive here via canoe or kayak from upstream). It is truly one of the most isolated spots in the entire state -- but to visit it, you better act fast, because by 2011 it may become private property.
For a birds-eye view of this location, here's a video I took from a bluff overlooking the river -- this spot is at around the 20-second mark.

Another picture taken the last summer, at the end of august, in Elba Island. I applied a little filter here to give it the idea of an old shot: all the composition and the people on the background made me think about those old postcards we were used to send when we were in holiday (I still do but I know it is not that common anymore).
The beach is called Spiaggia Bagnaia and it is not my favorite one in the island: it is very short and the sand is mixed with stones. I had fun running around with the car to check basically all the best spots to have a bath around the island: the best for the crystalline waters are Spiaggia di Sansone and the one just near it but they are always crowded (well let's admit it: there is no quiet beach a part the ones you can reach only with a kayak or a boat) and they have only stones (if you want perfectly clear waters you can't aim for a beach with sand); instead the beach with sand I actually liked because it was a bit bigger than the others, even if crowded, was Spiaggia delle Calanchiole and Spiaggia del Lido (they are attached to each other so I look at the as one).
The picture was taken with my Sony Xperia Z1 smartphone.
Early in the morning I noticed a Fosset I have been dripping water been captured by the sunlight water is a truly precious and amazing thing in that morning I spent a moment to appreciate it

The Illawarra Knitting Nannas Against Gas, (IKNAG), spent Monday morning ‘sittin & knittin’ outside the office of Russell Matheson, Federal member for Macarthur, talking to passers-by about the risks of coal seam gas mining to our drinking water.
Due to redistribution for this election, Camden will now be in the seat of Hume, which is held by Angus Taylor. The Nannas decided to pay his office a visit also.
