The Denver skyline - and all of the metro area - sits underneath overcast skies that threaten to release a minimal amount of snow. Denver hasn't had more than a trace of snow since October 9th! Meanwhile, a unit sand track (with some borrowed power from BNSF) heads west on the main at East Leyden. The train is headed for the Craig Branch as all the sand is needed for fracking in the Craig area.

While driving around to catch this lightning thunderstorm I was looking for a good composition. These oil and gas fracking hoods all lit up really caught my attention with lightning strikes in the distance.

En route to Los Angeles flying somewhere over California, I noticed a bunch of barren empty lots that seemed to follow two ridge-lines in the desert. After watching Josh Fox's recent documentary Gasland, I think these are hydraulic fracturing sites.
"Fracking" is a harmful practice used for creating boreholes fundamental to oil and natural gas extraction, in which a toxic cocktail of chemicals is injected deep below the ground in order to fracture rock formations.
In 2005, the Bush administration pushed through the Energy Policy Act or the "Halliburton loophole," which exempted hydraulic fracturing from previous federal regulations and allowed the practice to rapidly proliferate. Since 2009, the FRAC Act, which calls for the disclosure of the chemicals being used in hydraulic fracturing, has been sitting on a table somewhere waiting to be reviewed by some committee.

For those who whined about the reflection that was cut off, here's a different shot with the leader's reflection in the river. I won't name and names of those who whined about it, I'll just tag them. ;)
I was lucky enough to take a boat ride on the Yellowstone River with friends with the express purpose of taking photos. We were really looking for Eagle photos. We saw an Eagle, but the photos I got weren't that great. I much preferred Frick and Frack here -- the Pelican couple. :-)
The anti fracking campaign here in the u.k. Is a real concern not only to people living close to a fracking site, it will affect the whole of the u.k. If it all goes terribly wrong, shale gas extraction could have a catastrophic effect upon the environment - your environment.
So please don't dismiss these protestors as cranks they are but a growing section of the community who should be taken notice of.
Here's a shot from behind the front line of protestors.
"Go green no fracking"

In August of 2013, the quiet village of Balcombe West Sussex became a focus of the controversial shale gas drilling, fracking. Protesters and the Police collided in what has become known as "The Battle of Balcombe"
Fracking fluid and other drilling wastes are dumped into an unlined pit located right up against the Petroleum Highway in Kern County, California.
