This photograph was taken after a long period of warm and windless weather as the sun was setting and the moon was rising.
I'm not really sure where the haze came from, but even in the day it had a red / brown tinge to it which made me think of the sort of nitrogen dioxide pollution associated with cars and motorways.
Here the setting sun has exaggerated the color so that even the hills in the background appear to have a red / brown hue to them.

A Statement Against Pollution
This was a sculpture I did for an exhibition done in collaboration with the Moving Ethos Modern Dancer Company called Purity & Pollution. It was floating in the pool during the exhibition. It is entirely made out of garbage (rubbish) and is mostly made of plastics, although glass and cans (tins) are included and the surfboard of course. I am trying to encourage people to throw their garbage (rubbish) in the appropriate places, not just throw it anywhere thereby destroying, land, birds, animals, the ocean, and other waterways.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Milky Way - Shenandoah National Park, VA
Did you know that the Milky Way is now hidden from a third of humanity? The problem: light pollution. And the problem is growing steadily each year. I have noticed a lot more light pollution in Big Meadows night shoots this year, as compared to previous years. And if you shoot from an overlook like I done w/ this photo, your end result will most likely look like this. I'm grateful that I can still see the MW from SNP, but it'd be nice to view it in complete darkness.
The Milky Way, the brilliant river of stars that has dominated the night sky and human imaginations since time immemorial, is but a faded memory to one-third of humanity and 80 percent of Americans, according to a new global atlas of light pollution produced by Italian and American scientists.

THANKS FOR VIEWING!
It’s been said that nothing good happens after midnight. I disagree when it comes to the weather and making photos you otherwise couldn’t capture…
The village of Saint Michel l'Observatoire boasts a national and international low altitude facility for astronomers - l'Observatoire de Haute-Provence (OHP). It was here that the first confirmed sighting of an exoplanet was made on 6 October 1995.
The village also enjoys an average of 170 cloudless nights per year, which was part of the reason the observatory was built there. Unfortunately it also suffers from a degree of light pollution. Apart from the stars, this long exposure of the night sky (25 seconds) also shows the light from Forcalquier reflecting off of the clouds.
St John, New Brunswick as the Canadian seagull flys. I think the bird is leaving town during this snow storm. While the air pollutants are considered acceptable from the fossil fuels industry and its oil refinery. Certainly there is a concern and questions regarding long term exposure. Fine particulates in the air and the smell of sulphur throughout the day can certainly highlight the importance of controls.
Négombo (Sri Lanka) - La plage située proximité de l’entrée du chenal qui mène au port de pêche de Négombo, était une véritable poissonnerie à ciel ouvert. De nombreuses petites embarcations venaient déposer le produit de leur pêche. Mais le 20 mai 2021, c’est la catastrophe écologique. Le navire, le MV X-Press Pearl, prend feu en face de la plage. Il transportait 1 486 conteneurs. Quatre-vingt-un d’entre eux étaient chargés de marchandises dangereuses, dont 25 tonnes d’acide nitrique. Parmi les marchandises figuraient également 78 tonnes de granulés de polyéthylène destiné à l’industrie de l’emballage. Cette catastrophe environnementale dont la partie la plus visible était la présence de billes de plastique, a souillé 80 kilomètres de littoral.
Cette photo ci-dessus a été prise en 2014, bien avant la catastrophe écologique. Aujourd’hui encore, il est difficile de savoir sir cette pollution a toujours des conséquence sur la santé publique ?
Before the pollution
Negombo (Sri Lanka) - The beach located near the entrance to the channel leading to the fishing port of Negombo was a real open-air fish market. Many small boats came to deposit the product of their fishing. But on May 20, 2021, there was an ecological disaster. The ship, the MV X-Press Pearl, caught fire in front of the beach. It was carrying 1,486 containers. Eighty-one of them were loaded with dangerous goods, including 25 tons of nitric acid. Among the goods were also 78 tons of polyethylene granules intended for the packaging industry. This environmental disaster polluted 80 kilometers of coastline, the most visible part of which was the presence of plastic beads.
This photo above was taken in 2014, well before the ecological disaster. Even today, it is difficult to know if this pollution still has consequences on public health?

Danish North See Coast around Vorupør
Creative people turned beach-found trash into an artwork, only for the wind to scatter it once more. Everything is ephemeral, only plastic takes about 500 years to disappear from the face of the earth...
According to an estimate by the World Bank in 2018, around 2 billion tonnes of waste were produced worldwide every year. 10 countries are responsible to produce around 53% of the global waste volume at that time. Today, 6 years later, these figures have certainly increased.
I headed into Derbyshire to try and find a dark place but still found light pollution! Taken just after 1am in the morning.
Waning Gibbous, Sunday 6th September.
I was drawn to this image for two reasons, firstly it is rare for there to be a clear sky in NW England (I am not joking!) and secondly it was the colour of the moon that my wife noticed and who alerted me. From a little bit of googling it seems that this is caused by atmospheric pollution.
Tetovo is probably the most polluted and contaminated city in Europe. It lacks both breathable air and drinkable water. Industrial waste has been dumped into the water for years, and the air quality is awful as well. Tetovo is surrounded by mountains and pollution keeps increasing.
