This is the former gun emplacement at Fort Revere the previous two photographs (Alice and Emily) were shot. Yes, I jumped down into the rubbish. That's what I do for my art.

Research from the University of Salford has shown that a gruesome ‘Alien-like’ parasite which eats the tongues of fish and then inhabits their mouths is more harmful in areas subjected to ‘predatory’ overfishing.

This map depicts U.S. Pasture and Range Conditions as of Sept. 9, 2012. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) winter wheat planting was behind the five-year average pace in all seven major production states on the Plains.

June 5th - Environment's International Day.
Personally, I love this picture a lot.. SOmehow it depicts the interdependecy of humans, animals and the nature.. and how it is evolving.. continuously..
I was a lil confused what should be the title..

Pollution of the environment has become so widespread that all forms of life are threatened. In June 1972, representatives of some 130 nations met in Stockholm for an unprecedented meeting under the auspices of the United Nations to seek ways of translating their concern about the deterioration of conditions on our planet into a global attack on the problem.

At the moment there are thousands of satellites orbiting the earth along with spent rocket bodies and additional debris items. Orbiting debris moves so fast it that a one centimetre nut could hit another satellite with the force of an exploding hand grenade. Debris tends to produce more debris. To prevent the production of new debris in either space or Earth, The Clean Space initiative’s CleanSat programme is developing innovative ways to deorbit satellites from low-earth orbits, developing design and materials methods to ensure satellites fully burn-up during re-entry and making sure that abandoned satellites make safe any and all stored energy that might one day trigger orbital break-ups. Such new technologies to use space in a different way are crucial, if we want future generation to go on making full use of space and exploring our Universe.

The West Branch Susquehanna River flows past Greico Park in Jersey Shore, Pa., on Sept. 29, 2017. In 2015, an ADA-accessible boat launch and floating dock was added near Pennsylvania Route 44, providing public access for fishing and viewing that marks progress toward Chesapeake Bay Program goals and outcomes. A grant of $43,662 awarded in 2017 by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation will improve brook trout habitat and reduce sediment entering Kettle Creek, a tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna.

Galeton Lake, seen on Sept. 29, is formed by a dam along Pine Creek in Galeton, Pa. The lake is a local icon, though the size of the lake and sediment have limited recreational activity behind the dam, which is in need of repairs. A grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission is allowing Galeton Development Corporation to study the structure of the dam as well as opportunities for future public access that would boost tourism in the area.

By bringing water to people water resellers extend the coverage of piped water and provide a service with important benefits for households - but at a price. That price rises with distance from the utility, as defined by the number of intermediaries between the network and the end consumer. Having a regular supply of clean water piped into the household is the optimal type of provision for human development. Experience suggests that households with water delivered through one tap on a plot (or within 100 metres) typically use about 50 litres of water a day, rising to 100 litres or more for households with multiple taps. Household connections to a utility offer financial benefits. In unit price terms, utility water is by far the lowest cost option. Because of economies of scale once the network is in place, the marginal cost of delivering each additional unit of water falls sharply. Subsidies are another important price-reducing mechanism: utilities are usually the gatekeeper for a wide range of direct and indirect subsidies that keep the price of water well below cost. Every step removed from the household tap adds to the price. Water vendors often act as a link between unconnected households and the utility. In some cases water is purchased from the utility and sold on to households, as in the case of private standpipe operators. In other cases water is purchased from the utility and sold to intermediaries, who in turn sell to households. As water passes through the marketing chain, prices increase. Water delivered through vendors and carters is often 10–20 times more costly than water provided through a utility. In Barranquilla, Colombia, the average price of water is $0.55 per m 3 from the utility and $5.50 per m 3 from truckers. Similarly, in the slums of Accra and Nairobi people buying water from vendors typically spend eight times as much per litre as households with piped water supplied by utilities.
