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.

100 Jahre 1920er: Charleston-Kleid, Kokain, Absinth, Monokel, Frack, Champagner, Federboa, Tanz auf dem Vulkan, mondäne Unterhaltung und Nächte bis zum Morgengrauen, als ob jede die letzte wäre…
Soweit die Nostalgie und die Bilder, die gewöhnlich im Zusammenhang mit den sogenannten »Goldenen Zwanzigern« in den Köpfen entstehen. Das alles betrifft im Grunde allerdings nur die Zeit zwischen 1924 und 1929. Sigrid Grajek hingegen geht es um die Jahre von 1918 bis 1933, also jene zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen, wo sich unter der schillernd-schönen »Berlin im Licht«-Oberfläche eine dunkel-bittere Seite offenbart. Hunger, Armut, Dreck, Kriminalität - Tür an Tür mit eben diesen genannten 'Goldenen 20ern'. Zilles Milljöh, Hinterhofromantik, Arbeitslosigkeit, dem Aufkeimen der Rechtspopulisten, Nationalsozialisten, dem Überlebenswillen und dem berühmten Berliner Humor.
Obwohl man von der „Weimarer Republik“ spricht, war Berlin das pulsierende Zentrum. Die unterschiedlichen Lebensrealitäten dieser fünfzehn Jahre wurden in einer Vielzahl von Liedern und Texten mit oft unerschütterlichem Humor dokumentiert. Sigrid Grajek fügt ihre Auswahl daraus zusammen und kreiert einen musikalisch-literarischen Spiegel der Epoche. Sie bringt diese Zeitperiode in der ihr eigenen Art, mit Conférencen, Erklärungen, politischen Statements und Liedern aus eben jener Zeit.
Ein spannender wie unterhaltsamer Abend mit Glanz, Sozialkritik, Berliner Humor und Geschichte.

Sigrid Grajek: Berlin, the 1920s - a city in turmoil, Berlin 2020
100 years of the 1920s: Charleston dress, cocaine, absinthe, monocle, tailcoat, champagne, feather boa, dancing on a volcano, sophisticated entertainment and nights until dawn as if each one was the last...
So much for the nostalgia and images that usually arise in people's minds in connection with the so-called "Golden Twenties". However, all this basically only concerns the period between 1924 and 1929. Sigrid Grajek, on the other hand, is concerned with the years from 1918 to 1933, i.e. those between the two world wars, where a dark and bitter side is revealed beneath the dazzlingly beautiful "Berlin in the light" surface. Hunger, poverty, filth, crime - right next door to these so-called 'Golden 20s'. Zille's milieu, backyard romance, unemployment, the rise of right-wing populists, National Socialists, the will to survive and the famous Berlin humor.
Although we speak of the "Weimar Republic", Berlin was the pulsating center. The different realities of life during these fifteen years were documented in a multitude of songs and texts with often unflinching humor. Sigrid Grajek compiles her selection from these and creates a musical-literary mirror of the era. She presents this period in her own unique way, with conferences, explanations, political statements and songs from that very time.
An exciting and entertaining evening with splendor, social criticism, Berlin humor and history.

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. ;)
Riverkeeper presented testimony at a hearing in NYC on Hydrofracking. It was followed by a citizens rally outside the federal building.
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. :-)

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.

In Blackpool where Cuadrilla have the full blessing of the UK "government" [more like the Muppet Show] to frack away to their hearts' content - earthquakes not-with-standing - when they are compelled to stop for a while. Never mind, it's a long way from London !!!
Camp Frack mobilised over 100 climate activists and local residents against plans by Cuadrilla Resources to drill for shale gas in Lancashire, UK.
"Camp Frack", named after "fracking", the process of pumping vast quantities of water underground and fracturing rocks with chemicals to release shale gas, set up outside the Lancashire village of Banks, close to a drilling rig that Cuadrilla Resources is using to drill up to 3.5km deep.
Environmentalists have argued that the "fracking" process is inherently risky. In the US, where shale gas is being hailed by industry as a potential substitute for oil, fears have been raised about the effect of the chemicals used, explosions, links with seismic activity and allegations of illness. A Cornell University study also concluded that greenhouse gas emissions from shale gas are higher than those for coal.
