Two worlds clash. As one of the most crowded surfer spots on Bali, Kuta beach has become an example of mass tourism. Along with this, mass pollution affects the beaches. Amidst the surfers and garbage, the incense and flowers as prayer to the gods form a painful contrast. On one side an land of ancient tradition and on the other side, a land in the eyes of worldexplorers, a place to have fun.

These refineries knock out tons of pollutants into the atmosphere every day and yet we can't do without them until we come up with something better.

A deep blue dusk in the north western sky descends and the lights come on in rural Pembrokeshire.

FR: La côte sud-ouest de l'Ile de La Réunion à 1 heure du matin : un véritable feu d'artifice de lumière artificielle. Il faut donc s'éloigner de cette lumière pour pouvoir admirer la voie lactée.
EN: The South West coast of Reunion Island at 1 am is enlightened by artificial lights from the cities. This light pollution does not let you see the milky way unless you run away from the cities.
Light pollution is excessive, misdirected, or obtrusive artificial (usually outdoor) light. Too much light pollution has consequences: it washes out starlight in the night sky, interferes with astronomical research, disrupts ecosystems, has adverse health effects and wastes energy.
There are three main types of light pollution include glare, light trespass and skyglow (in addition to over-illumination and clutter). Glare from unshielded lighting is a public-health hazard—especially the older you become. Glare light scattering in the eye causes loss of contrast, sometimes blinds you temporarily and leads to unsafe driving conditions, for instance. Light trespass occurs when unwanted light enters one’s property, for example, by shining unwanted light into a bedroom window of a person trying to sleep. Skyglow refers to the glow effect that can be seen over populated areas. Skyglow is the combination of all the reflected light and upward-directed (unshielded) light escaping up into the sky (and for the most part, unused).
Thanks for your kind comments & faves

The Michigan City Generating Station is getting pollution control upgrades to remove SO2. This is a night photo from Washington Park Pier. www.thenewsdispatch.com/news/local/article_7dd6bbe9-ee42-...

As the UK was swamped by a pollution cloud from continental Europe, Swansea spent a good few days in March smothered in a haze. This did however make for some fantastic sunsets.
Someone threw away a refuse bag in this ditch with clear water . I tried to see the positive side ( Monet painting colours ?)
The plastic in the tree appeared after high wind in the spring. As time goes the plastic disintegrates and enters the food chain a bit like plastic in the sea. It is a real problem that this example shows so clearly. My message is deal with your plastic so it does not crumbles like this and eventually harm us all, both animals and humans.
