The artwork features two people representing the alternatives for sustainable fashion. The woman holds a boat shuttle for handmade loom weaving and there is mending visible on the man's denim jacket. He is smelling marigolds which is a natural dye. Both figures are standing in front of mounds of clothes reminding us to support slow fashion and reduce the amount of textiles going into landfills and reduce fashion waste.

The word sustainability can be heard every day, on too many occasions. The idea of green bicycles might no be so bad. I can see the wink.

While in Yellowstone NP, we encountered several bighorn sheep ram along the hillside grazing on the grasses sticking up through the snowy landscape. The light was so very beautiful and enabled us to capture that eye, which I always find so intriguing.
This ram had some pretty beat up horns too. Made me wonder how curled they would have been if they weren't so worn down. Of course, I also thought about what stories those curls could tell about the life of this beautiful bighorn sheep.
But getting back to that eye ... there are few animals that possess such a mesmerizing eye as the BHS, at least to me. Eye contact is generally locked and sustained. Such a thrill. :-)
Thanks so much for stopping by to view and especially for sharing your thoughts and comments.

This young lady is watching the Marasi Primary School World Environment Day Celebration from her classroom. It was a pretty hot day. I can’t say I blame her for watching in the shade.

On the Bord na Mona peat railways, Boora/Blackwater system. It's the end of the line for Derrinough Briquette Factory which closes at the end of the month.
A train of peat heading for the factory passes the wind turbines which now provide a more sustainable energy source from the bogs.
Sustainability and neo-ecology are the megatrends of our time. The topic of sustainability will be addressed in a target-group-oriented way via modular approaches consisting of keynotes, empathetic inspirations and hands-on workshop sessions, and will lead to prototypical developments of new solution strategies in the participants’ own contexts. The workshop offers a complete package based on the artistic and technological approach of Ars Electronica and the technical, economic and systemic know-how of the Institute for Clean Technology.

XT864, a McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 of the Royal Navy, now on display at the home of the Ulster Aviation Society on the site of the former RAF Long Kesh near Lisburn in Northern Ireland.
Delivered in 1968, this aircraft served initially in the Royal Navy, serving in the 700(P), 767, and 892 Naval Air Squadrons, the latter being the only operational Phantom squadron. After its retirement from the Royal Navy, XT864 joined in the RAF in 1979, joining No. 111 Squadron based in RAF Leuchars at that time. Unfortunately in 1988 it sustained damage in a ground incident and became the first Phantom to be used as a "Gate Guard". Following the closure of RAF Leuchars, this aircraft was transported to Northern Ireland to its current home, where the Ulster Aviation Society undertook a restoration project, returning it to its former colours of the Royal Navy, which can be seen in this photo.

Across the meadow, a fire burned in the campsite of nine tourists on the night of August 23, 1877. The Cowan party had unknowingly camped near hundreds of Nez Perce men, women, & children who were under violent pursuit by the United States Army. Through the darkness, the Cowan's firelight flickered & was spotted by Hemene MoxMox (Yellow Wolf) & other Nez Perce scouts. With the heightened instincts of war-town hearts, the scouts entered the camp at daybreak. They dared not risk the Army learning the whereabouts of their people. Instead of taking chances, they took the tourist with them.
The coming hours revealed human emotions found in any war: fear, anger, & compassion. A Nez Perce leader, Wa-wook-ke-ya Was Sauw (Lean Elk), released the campers with a warning to stay hidden, but the small group was later overtaken. This time tempers flared. George Cowan was shot & left for dead, but eventually made a full recovery. Others sustained shots or escaped. Emma Cowan & her siblings were released unharmed the following day.
*On a summer night in 1877, hundreds of "non-treaty" Nez Perce-bands refusing confinement on a reservation-camped near here. They journeyed 1,170 miles (1,883 km) in their quest for freedom.
