Just a simple candid street style Snapograph captured at London UK of a guy going about his important business of helping to keep our streets clean.
"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to put amongst their "FAVES".
"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to leave a "Comment", I'll do my very best to reply to you individually.

It’s estimated that 20 per cent of the oxygen we breathe comes from rainforests in the Amazon basin.
After a marginal decline in the rate of destruction of the forest between 2004 and 2012, Brazil witnessed a 92 percent rise in deforestation since Jair Bolsonaro became the President of Brazil in January 2019, the Time Magazine reported.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
These are the prickers that stick your legs and ankles when you walk in grassy fields. Now they are caught, not my socks, but the flesh of a dried leaf!

Oh' how we all wish a few single stitches could solve the 🌎 worlds environmental problems. Ah .... but alas, unfortunately, it's much more complex.
Much more than a couple of stitches can fix .... 💦
Love & Peace ❤️💚💛💜
Cutting trees to make space for new buildings. Some people call it urbanization, others call it environmental destruction.
Eastern Screech Owl
The Eastern Screech Owl or Eastern screech-owl (Megascops asio) is a small owl that is relatively common in Eastern North America, from Mexico to Canada. This species is native to most wooded environments of its distribution and, more so than any other owl in its range, has adapted well to manmade development, although it frequently avoids detection due to its strictly nocturnal habits.

I came up with the idea for this shot as I was preparing for the office this morning. I didn't have the time to execute it until the day was done. I am a bit disheveled after the day but I am happy with the final product nonetheless. It was a truly challenging image to take because one has to anticipate how the camera would see a reflection.
Indonesia is currently facing one of massive drilling induced environmental disaster in the form of uncontrolled huge mudflow and the consequent environmental damage which started on May 29, 2006 during drilling of an exploratory well Banjar Panji-1 in Siring village in Porong district in Sidoarjo regency, East Java, Indonesia, and is still continuing until this time.
For two years and five months the seepages in the earth has been oozing hot mud enough to fill 50 Olympic-size swimming pools every day. The mud also has accompanying methane and hydrogen sulphide, though in small quantities giving foul odor. The oozing mud has inundated huge area of land in and around and has made 12,000 families homeless by submerging 4 villages, 30 factories, 33 schools and hundreds of hectares of farmland and ponds. Now nobody knows when this mud flow will stop, it is estimated that this flow may last for another 30 years in the form of mud volcano. This mud flow has already resulted in subsidence of land due to subsurface voidage creation resulting in damage to nearby trunk gas pipe line and railway line and toll road. An expenditure of US$ 1.1 billion is estimated to meet compensation to the affected people and to rectify the infrastructural damage.
Finally the mud is being channeled to the Porong River to the sea, the environmental damage potential of which has not even been studied.

Northern Cape Province
South Africa
The Northern Cape is the largest and most sparsely populated province of South Africa. It was created in 1994 when the Cape Province was split up. Its capital is Kimberley. It includes the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park, part of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, an international park shared with Botswana. It also includes the Augrabies Falls and the diamond mining regions in Kimberley and Alexander Bay. The Namaqualand region in the west is famous for its Namaqualand daisies.
This photo was taken on my way to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
The Environmental Defense Fund has published these reminders. They are a great organization and I hope they don't mind me spreading the word.
A beach where earlier I'd had the biggest warmest swimming pool I'd ever swam in, became a place to have fun in the park with shells. Razorfish and cockles were everywhere, and this was what I came up with . Fun day in the park is by Half Man Half Biscuit. This is for Nathalie, who wanted to se what I'd made with cockle shells.
