Négombo (Sri Lanka) - Scène prise quelques années avant la catastrophe écologique qui a pollué durablement le littoral de Négombo. En Mai 2021, un porte-conteneurs indonésien a coulé au large des côtes, polluant sur 80 km, les eaux et les plages avec des produits chimiques, des hydrocarbures et 78 tonnes de granulés de polyéthylène. Depuis la pêche a repris, mais on ne connait toujours pas les conséquences sanitaires sur ceux qui consomment le poisson issu de cette région.
Storage of nets before ecological disaster
Negombo (Sri Lanka) - Scene taken a few years before the ecological disaster which permanently polluted the Negombo coastline. In May 2021, an Indonesian container ship sank off the coast, polluting the waters and beaches, over 80 km, with chemicals, hydrocarbons and 78 tons of polyethylene granules. Fishing has since resumed, but we still do not know the health consequences for those who consume fish from this region.
It's easy to sit and remark at the olden days of the Pacman SD40s wishing that era would return but quite frankly, these SD40 ECO rebuilds are just awesome. Who doesn't like flared radiators? Here's K50 heading down to Dubuque coming from Marquette

This tree trunk is near horizontal, and the cracks or furrows in the thick bark serve as small ledges where green moss and a small amount of white lichen have grown. At Riley Park in northwest Calgary.

Vine Street Expressway
The street lights around the Vine Street Expressway onramp at 21st St are favorite perches from which the Parkway hawks scan the rodent-rich scrubby verges of the crosstown highway. The field of road ecology, which studies the ecology of transportation infrastructure, was founded by R.T.T. Forman around the turn of the century.

5 exposures of +2, +1, 0, -1 and -2 made up this HDR image.
Used autobracket feature of Nikon D200 (can go up to 9 exposures in one burst).
The HDR treatment I used here is to reveal a realistic image rather than my usual artistic HDR style. Some HDR afficionados call it True Tone HDR or TTHDR for short.
Hope you like it.

Two extremely good and necessary books on environment and strategies for the protection of life and future. Very competent and well researched and vittingly written. Good - though frightening - reads!

For Swedish readers:
På grund av Miljöpartiets debacle har dessvärre också miljöfrågorna hamnat i bakvattnet. Men de är i själva verket viktigare än någonsin och alla partier borde enas om att hetta upp frågan och göra den angelägen igen.
Två bra böcker kan hjälpa till. Den ena av dem finns ännu inte på svenska men den till höger - Dave Goulsons - finns. Då heter den Galen i insekter men handlar varken om galenskap eller bara om insekter utan om vår globala miljö i stort om det hot den står inför. Lånen och läsen!

This was taken from a moving train in the Central Valley of California. I like the contrast of the old windmill being overshadowed by the new generation win turbines.
