Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

 

Louisiana State University Professor Ed Overton leaned out of a fishing boat and dunked a small jar just beneath the surface. “God what a mess,” he said under his breath.

 

On the 20th of April an explosion erupted on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf, killing 11 people and injuring 17. The real damage was yet to come as gallons of oil started pouring out of the well. Since then, estimates of over 200, 000 gallons of oil are leaking every day. The oil slick is now the size of Delaware and Maryland combined. On shorelines the damage stretches 241 km, from Dauphin Island, Alabama to Grand Isle, Louisiana. It is now affecting the marshland that stretches along the coastland.

 

These marshlands or wetlands are home to about 34, 000 Brown pelicans and seagulls, which are right now, trying to dive through the oil-soaked ocean to get to their food supply. Thousands of migratory birds travelling from South America making their way north, traditionally stop off at the Gulf Coast for two to three weeks are now in danger. Sea turtles, manatees and dolphins are attempting to come up for air through the slick.

 

There are three species that have been highlighted as most endangered by the slick, the Brown pelican who recently was just taken off the endangered list, the Bluefin tuna and the Kemp's Ridley sea turtle. The explosion could not have happened at a worse time as all these species are now returning to the Gulf area for breeding, expecting their home to be the way it was when they left it.

Photos I took around Westminster on 11 May, 2010. The afternoon of the day that David Cameron became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

The G20 Summit and all its entrails have descended upon Toronto. The meetings occur June 26-27th. A security zone has been established in the heart of the financial district for the protection of participants of the Summit. The estimated cost for security is $1 BILLION. Part of that tab includes barriers such as this one on Front Street outside the Royal York Hotel.

 

On a normal day - Front Street is bustling with office workers, pedestrians, tourists and vehicles. Not this week. Many people who work in this area have taken an early summer vacation and many more will just not show up to work at the end of this week when special ID will be needed to enter the penitentiary. a G20 security view
