Your computers, shoes, solar panels, socks, i-phones, underpants, pens, cameras and much, much more come from THIS.
I am gonna have to be horrible to bring this message across to the considerable number of people still blind to the ways of their media out "West".
You / your parents did not want this where you lived in the 70's and 80's so your respective governments, in order to retain your "democratic vote" , started outsourcing this to China in the late 1980's (yes, a willing victim, we all agree). Still, all in the name of you wanting clean air you kept on voting for the people who brainwashed you into believing they are doing it all for you and your kids - all so they could earn a salary as an MP / Senator or whatever for another 10 or 20 years ... sadly never giving a second thought about the kids here having to breath in this rubbish you see in my photo.
Now, at last, the wheel is turning and slowly but surely the sh*te we breath here in China is reaching you and as horrible as it to say, terribly sadly, also your kids.
The solution?
Let's all start looking in the mirror, let's ALL stop blaming others and let's ALL do something about this global catastrophe we as a human race is facing.

The foreground boat is named "Peedie Lass", meaning Little Girl in Orcadian dialect. Formerly used for local lobster fishing, it is a slowly deteriorating landmark in the village of Cromarty in N Scotland. The structures in the background are ultra modern jackets (bases) for offshore wind turbines, currently being fabricated in the Global Energy yard at Nigg.

Il ghiacciaio dei Forni era il più grande ghiacciaio vallivo italiano e l'unico di tipo himalayano, localizzato nel gruppo Ortles-Cevedale in alta Valtellina all'interno del settore lombardo del Parco nazionale dello Stelvio, originato da tre bacini collettori con tre lingue glaciali distinte confluenti a quota 3000 m in un'unica lingua di ablazione con morene mediane che nel XIX secolo si spingeva nel fondovalle fino a quote prossime ai 2000 m.
Il ghiacciaio attualmente si estende per poco meno di 11 km². Negli ultimi 150 anni la superficie glaciale si è ridotta intensamente, circa del 36%,e la lingua è arretrata di circa 2 km. Lo spessore del ghiacciaio si è ridotto sulla lingua di ben 70 m nel periodo 1929-1998. Dal 2015 è separato in due apparati distinti a causa del distacco della lingua orientale.

AMEYOKO-street, Tokyo, Japan.
This street used to be a local market when I was kid.
It has been famous but it was just a place to buy foods & clothes cheaper. Not for sightseeing place.
Now, AMEYOKO-street is changing from a few yeas ago.
They are getting to accept customers from oversea who want to know usual Tokyo life.
Can you see English caption on labels?
English speakers maybe here, too.
I guess you could have a good time if you visit.

"Global pollution" är min tolkning till Fotosöndag och tema "Absurd",
Skorstenarna som spyr ut sin rök med gasmasken i mitten ska symbolisera det destruktiva och absurda sätt vi människor förgiftar och förstör jorden vi bor på.
"Global pollution" is my contribution to theme "Absurd" for the photogroup Photosunday.
The chimneys and the smoke aside the gasmask is a symbolic picture for the destructive and absurd way we people on earth is living today, which pollute and destroy the world we live in.

The Global Rainbow has reached Norn Iron! A few of us took a run down to Newtownards last night to see the lights from Scrabo Tower. Lots of people about looking at the lights, they are pretty impressive indeed!
Explored #300 thanks!
Due to the unusal high temperatures, spring is also here. One of the few good things of global warming (I guess)
This image is comprised of data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) aboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite (POES) series to map global vegetation cover. The vegetation covering the continents was recorded by the AVHRR aboard NOAA-7, NOAA-8, and NOAA-11. Dense vegetation is represented by shades of purple and green; sparse vegetation by shades of brown. The vegetation "index," an indicator of vegetation cover, is calculated by comparing reflected infrared light to reflected visible light for a specific area of land. NOAA's two operational polar orbiting satellites scan the entire earth once every six hours from altitudes of about 850km (529 miles). The data collected by the AVHRR sensor are held in the archives of the United States Geological Survey's EROS Data Center. The objective of the AVHRR instrument was to provide radiance data for investigation of clouds, land-water boundaries, snow and ice extent, ice or snow melt inception, day and night cloud distribution, temperatures of radiating surfaces, and sea surface temperature.
