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.
This land is now dead....!
Have a great week guys.Thank you for comments and faves.

My first milky way shot so far. I should say it is a great challenge for me.
To get the balance of the foreground and the milky way need some lighting skills especially when the milky way start rising up from the horizon, it would be affected by the fog or the moisture from the sea level and also the light pollution will reduce the clarity of the milky way.
Any way, i learned something new in photography, hope to get a better shot next time.
Parts of the Pasig River in Manila Philippines run through section of Chinatown and other neighborhoods where raw sewage and trash pollute the water to very dangerous levels.
Anche in Psntelleria, una piccola isola al largo della Tunisia, è difficile trovare un posto da cui guardare il cielo..
:(
Sad that the generations to follow will never know the absolute freedom of the night sky... this is not progress.

The Carina Nebula and Running Chicken Nebula from my Adelaide metro (Bortle 6) backyard. This is a combination of 13 stacked shots with a Optolong L-Pro filter and 1 shot with an Astronomik 12nm Ha filter as a luminance layer. Lots of issues, no lens collar meant I was getting trailing from differential flexure despite autoguiding. The light pollution meant even with the filter the blue channel was maxing out way too early. Horrible gradients over the frame (this is a crop). After huge amounts of adjustment the star colours are somewhat red. I will try the L-Pro again with a longer focal length (see if that stops the gradients) and will see if it helps when used without light pollution. Otherwise I am doing something very wrong here!

I'm working on a project called "plastics in nature". This green plastic bag had a 1 kilo stone inside it before it was dropped in shallow water. I was after the softwater effect, but too much wind and waves made it impossible to use a tripod, the bag moved too fast. The result is a picture taken handheld with a 8-stop ND-filter on 1,5 seconds. (The bag was saved and disposed properly.)
As the world gradually peeps out from under the duvet of lockdown, some will still pollute the air we breath, just as before...
Sometimes a little light pollution adds to the scene. Sometimes!

This 114 year-old barn is just 35 miles (56 km) from my house in suburban Salt Lake City, Utah. In suburbia, I can only see a handful of the brightest stars from my home (lying under a Bortle Class 7 sky); however, this old barn, just over the mountains, lies in a Bortle Class 4 area (looking into a Class 3 area behind it), where the Milky Way can still be seen.
Protect the Night Skies. I’m grateful for these little oasis areas of darkness, that are fast disappearing in our light-polluted world! You can help the International Dark-Sky Association and I protect the night skies with our “Matching Gift Challenge.” Today (August 5), your donation will be matched dollar-per-dollar! This is the LAST day to get this matching gift. Even a ten dollar gift becomes twenty! Follow this link to learn more.
Your Philanthropy: A full 82% of IDA’s funding comes from donor supporters, like you and I (not just from some government funding). Philanthropy comes from the Greek “phil” (love of) and “anthropos” (man or humankind). Therefore, your philanthropy is practiced out of love for our fellow humans—you don’t just love our earth and night sky, but you care about whether future humans will be able to see the beauties that you are experiencing!
Technique & EXIF: A 10-image panorama stitch (in Photoshop). Each single exposure was at f/2.8, for 20 seconds, @ ISO 8000, using a Tamron 15-30mm @ 15mm on a Canon 5D Mark III.

You may have noticed that I have tried many styles of signature watermark...now I think I have got a permanent one...I would be glad to know what you felt about it...
suggestions are heartily welcomed... :)
thanks for stopping by and HAVE A GREAT TIME:)
For the most part the Milky Way is likely to be too high overhead to capture more of these types of Milky Way panorama shots this year, but I'm looking forward to next year!
We should have a good couple of hours of shooting before the galactic center sets during our Bodie workshops on August 15, October 11, and 12, then with earlier sunsets, we'll have a lot of additional time for light painting as well.
The EGGER plant at Hexham, Northumberland.
Chipboard manufacturer, one of the largest employers in the area.
You can see this chimney over the trees from a few miles away, I always think of Twin Peaks whenever I'm driving towards the town.
Dugi otok (long island) in Croatia is one of the few that has a clear view of the open sea towards Italy. Here' you can see light pollution from the italian coast and a single shipping boat. Nikon Z6, Nikkor S 20 mm @ f/2.8, 8x15s, ISO 800.

I was trying to take some night shots here, and light pollution make the clouds quite appealing. One single shot

Please no multi-invites.... and please, please, please, don't feel obligated to comment, do so only if you want to...
Pollution, pollution,
You can use the latest toothpaste,
And then rinse your mouth with industrial waste.
Just go out for a breath of air,
And you'll be ready for medicare.
The city streets are really quite a thrill.
If the hoods don't get you, the monoxide will.
Pollution, pollution,
Wear a gas mask and a veil.
Then you can breathe, long as you don't inhale.
Extreme pollution of Buriganga River's water, turned it to charcoal colour. The river is dead, with no fish or other living creatures.
Near- Exit of the boat from the frame, exposes and leaves behind the horror of water pollution in Buriganga river, Dhaka.
Chosen as the Cover Photo of Nice As It Gets~Level 3 on 13 June 2015.
Morning rush hour scooter traffic in the centre of Taipei.
Over half of Taiwan's 23 million population own a scooter, with roughly 14 million of them on the roads of this tiny island nation. Thankfully electric bikes are starting to gain in popularity here, as you can imagine the noise and pollution are quite an assault on the senses during these heavy traffic flows through the city.

Star trail, single exposure lasted 1 hour, which replaces two other photographs of mine taken in previous years in this exact spot.
For various reasons I think this one is better.
This is in fact the third time I take a star trail in this exact place! A fair dose of perseverance is important in these things :-)
By the way, you are looking to the otherworldly area below the Freney, southwest face of Mont Blanc massif, Italian side. One of the most geometric locations of the Alps, because of the harmonious relationship between peaks, stars (the Polaris is exactly above the Aiguille Noire) and Earth's rotation.
From left to right: Mont Blanc de Courmayeur, Aiguille Croux, Aiguille Blanche, Aiguille Noire, Mont Rouge de Peuterey.
Above: Polaris
Faint light from west: moon (33%) just set
Light from east: the area of Courmayeur, many km far away but present in the form of light pollution.
One of the main reasons that lead me to continue this photographic activity is the joy of discovery. Sometimes I deliberately prefer to plan less in order to don't lose the ability to be surprised by something different and unexpected.
I guess this is why I'm also starting to appreciate more and more the star trails... yes, for the "tale of the unexpected" within this photographic genre.
Of course, knowing the cardinal point I'm directing my camera I can easily predict the shape that the trails of stars will assume (due to the Earth's rotation)... also, I can carefully choose the focus, composition, white balance, estimate according to the conditions of non-light the various settings, yes I can do this - I have to - although in pitch dark is rather tricky... nevertheless, just ask any sincere photographer, the end result of a star trail is always an enigma. A most pleasant one! :-)
It's amazing, in fact, to note the amount of light & colour a camera manages to capture at night, in the dark, just continuing to "observe" for an hour, constantly and relentlessly, the spot we have carefully chosen!
Well, this is indeed something that our eyes could never do, our eyes can look only frame by frame, we are technically not able to make the sum of light in time.
So, what to say, except "thanks to the cameras for this!" :-) ... for the chance to discover new things and also for helping us to think in a not too anthropocentric way, reflecting on the fact that there is not only our human way to see. Actually the way we see is only one possible reading of the "reality", so, let's discover the others!
