During the fall of 1994 and spring of 1995, the state of New Jersey hired Conrail to haul dirt from Wayne, NJ, where a man made swamp was being created, to Liberty State Park, where a water buffer/golf course was to be created. I287 was completed in 1993 and took up swamp space that the DEC and environmentalist wanted replaced. Creating a swamp off the Pompton River in Wayne not only made the DEC happy, but provided relief from the floods that plague Wayne on a regular basis.
Five nights a week the train ran from Conrail Jersey City's Croxton yard and then to the railfans delight, it ran Sundays in daylight. I made my way to the Jersey suburbs to catch the operation of freight on the DL&W's old Boonton Line of New Jersey Transit. Such trains have been absent from the line for many years, so this was quite the northeast attraction while it lasted.
Here we see three GE C39-8's, 6008, 6009, and 6010 up front, with another on the rear as a helper rounding the big curve at Walnut Street station in Montclair, NJ with 70 empty ore jennies to fill up with the dirt.
The Pennybacker Bridge in Austin, Texas, officially known as the Loop 360 Bridge, is an iconic structure that spans the Colorado River. Completed in 1982, the bridge was named after Percy V. Pennybacker Jr., an influential environmentalist in the area. Its distinctive design features an arched concrete deck and tall piers, providing stunning views of the surrounding Hill Country. The bridge serves as a key transportation route and a popular spot for sightseeing and photography.

This is a macro of handmade paper infused with plastic bags.
Here's the story...
Sandra Hansen is an international eco artist living in my town. She is a passionate environmentalist and uses her art to speak to the issues of plastics in our world. She makes beautiful handmade papers. I spent the day with her just yesterday, taking pictures of her process. This is a beautiful white paper infused with plastic bags that she uses as lovely, light filtering window coverings in her home.
Happy Macro Mondays!
In the spring of 2023, a new, powerful hydroelectric plant was opened in Turkey - an arch dam on the Chorukh River near Yusufeli in Artvin province in the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey.
Since the beginning of April 2023, the residents of Yusufeli have been slowly watching their city sink. The water in the constructed reservoir for the new hydroelectric power plant rose by about one meter daily and flooded houses, churches, mosques, gardens and cemeteries.
The 270-meter-high hydroelectric power plant will produce 558 megawatts of electricity, which will be enough for the needs of 2.5 million people. However, the construction and flooding of the city caused protests from environmentalists. The researchers claim that the construction and operation of the station destroys the unique biodiversity of the region, because there are 70 endemic plant species here.
Instead of the old Yusufeli, which sank under the reservoir, a new city was built a little higher, where several thousand residents of the old city were relocated.
The Georgian medieval temples - Chala and Akhalta and the Georgian fortress of Kavkasidze, located in the area, were also under water...

‘Increased understanding of the influence of habitat and intrinsic factors on survival of a species is a prerequisite to successful management programs, particularly as they relate to population dynamics and the role of population models in adaptive species management.”
While walking the beach of west Texas watching the wildlife struggle daily for survival, seeing the pollution of man created by its struggle to survive I could not but correlate and remember a Biologist prof back in college with the quote above and wonder when will politicians and environmentalist direct their attention to what Biologist teach on a daily basis.

New Topographics photographers utilized document style image making " to provide a format for the emerging ecological consciousness" which was evolving in the 70's.
Indeed many interviews show "they were not environmentalists, but rather they simply were artists making pictures in places that interested them."

However through their lens we become astutely aware of humanity's and our own personal effects upon nature.

The morning started bright and sunny. By early afternoon a low, gray, misty, fog had draped itself over the ridge on which we live. It was deathly quiet and really quite peaceful. An hour later it was raining and the wind was howling.
This picture shows the old horse barn on my property as it looked in the cool gray mist before the rain. There are no longer any horses on the property. The last one, old Tom Tom went to his maker several years ago. Today the old barn mostly shelters the wood rats. I'm an equal opportunity environmentalist.

What a joy it always is to go for a caper to the Tropical Greenhouse of the Amsterdam Botanical Garden. No, I don't mean to buy capers, but to make a happy little outing.
But yes, Capparis is the plant family which includes the caper shrub whose edible flower buds provide the eminent seasoning of food. I don't know whether this particular Capparis is suited for that, but it is quite delicately pretty. Pubiflora hails from Southeast Asia and it was first described in Europe around 1825.
There'd been some confusion on the taxonomy of Capparaceae until Marius Jacobs (1929-1983) wrote his careful analysis of it for Flora Malesiana in 1960. Jacobs, incidentally, was an avid environmentalist especially with regard to tropical plants and he published widely on that topic as well.
Rio Baker flows along the edge of the snow-covered mountains of the Northern Patagonia Icefields near Green Baker Lodge on the Carretera Austral, Patagonia, Chile. Rio Baker is the largest river in Chile and one of the largest free flowing undammed rivers in the world. In 2014, environmentalists won a long, acrimonious fight to prevent the building of 5 dams on it and its tributaries. It has a characteristic turquoise-green colour due to its glacial origins and is popular with kayakers and fly fishermen.

This cooling tower for coal generated power dominates the landscape in this city on the edge of Lake Michigan. Though it appears to be a nuclear energy plant there have never been any of these in Indiana. But one source I found seems to indicate that this is what it was intended to be when it was constructed:
"Fun fact: that plant was originally designed to be a nuclear site, hence the huge concrete cooling tower. There were supposed to be 2 more towers.
An environmentalist from Chesterton almost single handedly convinced the state of Indiana that Nipsco was not doing their due diligence regarding environmental and human population impacts.
The state agreed. As a result, the project went millions over budget and time. Nipsco ended up redesigning the site to be a fossil fuel plant."
www.reddit.com/r/Indiana/comments/5tq293/cooling_tower_in...
When I approached this tower to get a photo I was surprised that the site was dominated, not just by the huge edifice but by the distinct sound of falling water. It echoed throughout the neighborhood and off of the houses nearby. At one point I could see from across the railroad tracks that there was indeed water falling inside the structure toward the bottom. Apparently this is the source of the cooling process.
Then there's this:

Even though we don't have any flowers yet.. there is still beauty to be seen! :)
Earth day is on April 22nd so I thought it would be fun to upload a few photos.. Since childhood I've been surrounded by many environmentalists. I have to say, in this place, you can't help but appreciate nature :)
22 April this year marks the 50th edition of Earth Day. I guess if the pioneering environmentalists from 50 years ago would be able to see what became of our planet in the meantime, they may well think their actions were all for nothing. Our planet has changed drastically in the last half century and not exactly for the better.
The main theme of Earth Day 2020 is climate action. The immediate results of global climate change can be seen nowhere better as with the glaciers. The Athabasca Glacier from the Columbia Icefield in the Canadian Rockies has been retreating gradually since 1844 and is now shrinking a staggering 5 metres a year. Better have a good look now, if we don't change our attitude towards our planet, they will be gone in the next half century.

The Way’ gates are designed by artist blacksmith Joshua De Lisle and were added to the park in 2011 to mark the tercentenary of St Paul’s Cathedral.
Located on the edge of Sidmouth Woods, you can see the gates through the King Henry's Mound telescope and enjoy the protected 10-mile view to St Paul’s Cathedral.
Look out for the concave oak branches which reflect the cathedral’s dome. The small wren low down in the leaves is a reference to cathedral architect Sir Christopher Wren. A robin sings from the opposite branch.
The gates are inscribed with the 'The Way' which is also an epitaph to Edward Goldsmith, author of the book by the same name.
The bark texture has been created to promote algae and lichen growth towards the bottom of the gates to echo the park landscape.
The gates were kindly donated by the family of renowned environmentalist and The Ecologist magazine founder, the late Edward Goldsmith.

John Fielder, famous Colorado landscape photographer and environmentalist. If you should get the opportunity to take one of his workshops, you will not only come away with some great photos, but an experience and memories (we had a wonderful catered dinner in a field of wildflowers facing the Gore Range at sunset!) to last a lifetime. He does rafting trips, hike-ins, and fabulous photo tours to mention just a few.
Lightning started this blaze about 5 days ago. It grew from 2000 acres, at a point they felt they had it under control, to over 55,000 acres today.
The pink you see on the hillside is air dropped retardant.
The Marmolada Glacier is the last remaining glacier in the Dolomites. Environmentalists predict it will be completely gone in the next 15 years. :(

Lake Powell Arizona and the Navajo Generating Station. The generating station has been decommissioned and the towers were imploded last Friday. Now the environmentalists will have to find another reason for the haze in the Grand Canyon.
Met him in the street on La Gomera he was lovely gent & happy for me to take his photo. He was crafting shells from bits of wood and was a very enthusiastic environmentalist.
Populus Denver. From their website - "We started with a question: What would it look like to bring nature back into our cities? As a community of environmentalists and entrepreneurs, we imagined a hotel inspired by nature. From biophilic architecture, natural materials, original art, and seasonal cuisine, there is a love for the natural world in every detail. Populus was created by Urban Villages, designed by AD100 architecture firm Studio Gang and led by MacArthur Fellow Jeanne Gang, brought to life by interior designer, Heather Wildman of Wildman Chalmer Designs, with a thoughtful art program curated by environmentalist Katherine Homes, and operated by Aparium Hotel Group."

We had some exceptionally quiet and calm conditions. No good for solar power or wind turbines. I happily lit the log burner. What a fiasco these environmentalists are dreaming up for us. Even our mad SNP government have seen a little light and cancelled their intended log burner ban.
Glen Canyon is a natural canyon in the Vermilion Cliffs area of southeastern and south-central Utah and north-central Arizona in the United States. Like the Grand Canyon to the south, Glen Canyon is part of the immense system of canyons carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries.
In 1963, a reservoir, Lake Powell, was created by the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam, flooding much of Glen Canyon beneath water hundreds of feet in depth. Lake Powell was the result of negotiations over the controversial damming of the Green River within Dinosaur National Monument, a project which was abandoned in favor of the Glen Canyon Dam. The dam remains a central issue for modern environmentalist movements. Beginning in the late 1990s, the Sierra Club and other organizations renewed the call to dismantle the dam and drain Lake Powell in Lower Glen Canyon.
Today, Glen Canyon and Lake Powell are managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

To my dear departed environmentalist friend and those who share the common cause and appreciate the urgency of the task.
For best viewing, please turn up volume and illumination of your screen.
Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River in Utah and Arizona, United States. It is a major vacation destination visited by approximately two million people every year. It holds 24,322,000 acre-feet of water when full, second in the United States to only Lake Mead - though Lake Mead has fallen below Lake Powell in size several times during the 21st century in terms of volume of water, depth and surface area.
Lake Powell was created by the flooding of Glen Canyon by the Glen Canyon Dam, which also led to the 1972 creation of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, a popular summer destination of public land managed by the National Park Service. The reservoir is named for John Wesley Powell, a civil war veteran who explored the river via three wooden boats in 1869. It lies primarily in southern Utah, with a small portion in northern Arizona.
Lake Powell is a water storage facility for the Upper Basin states of the Colorado River Compact (Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico). The Compact specifies that the Upper Basin states are to provide a minimum annual flow of 7,500,000 acre-feet to the Lower Basin states (Arizona, Nevada, and California)
According to US Geological Survey and the Bureau of Reclamation report, in addition to water loss, Lake Powell faced an average annual loss in storage capacity of about 33,270 acre-feet, or 11 billion gallons, per year between 1963 and 2018 because of sediments flowing in from the Colorado and San Juan rivers. Those settle at the bottom of the reservoir and decrease the total amount of water the reservoir can hold. Environmentalists have pushed to drain Lake Powell and restore Glen Canyon to its natural, free-flowing state.
Even with these remnants of the logging industry from the 1800's, its hard to imagine that two man teams would cut up to 100 trees per day over the winter months. With multiple teams, there wouldn't have been much forest left standing at that rate. It wasn't easy on the men either - they would consume up to 7000 calories per day. The bigger men could lose 30-40 lbs of weight over the winter cutting season. Thank goodness for environmentalists and conservation efforts.
When my daughter first asked me to find a large cable drum so that she and her fiance could make a beer bottle top table I thought it a slightly ambitious idea. After all, no way was I going to drink enough beer to cover the top of the table. But fortunately I knew someone who could, and being a great environmentalist, he had saved all his bottle tops, all six million, seven hundred and eighty five thousand of them. Nah, just joking. But probably a couple of thousand. Now the beer bottle tops have been set in sparkly black tile grout, and a smooth hard layer of resin has been added, it looks fantastic

Glen Canyon Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the southwestern United States, located on the Colorado River in northern Arizona, near the city of Page. The 710-foot-high (220 m) dam was built by the Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) from 1956 to 1966 and forms Lake Powell, one of the largest man-made reservoirs in the U.S. with a capacity of more than 25 million acre-feet (31 km3).[4] The dam is named for Glen Canyon, a series of deep sandstone gorges now flooded by the reservoir; Lake Powell is named for John Wesley Powell, who in 1869 led the first expedition to traverse the Colorado River's Grand Canyon by boat.
A dam in Glen Canyon was studied as early as 1924, but these plans were initially dropped in favor of the Hoover Dam (completed in 1936) which was located in the Black Canyon. By the 1950s, due to rapid population growth in the seven U.S. and two Mexican states comprising the Colorado River Basin, the Bureau of Reclamation deemed the construction of additional reservoirs necessary.[8] The Glen Canyon Dam remains a central issue for modern environmentalist movements. Beginning in the late 1990s, the Sierra Club and other organizations renewed the call to dismantle the dam and drain Lake Powell in Lower Glen Canyon. Glen Canyon and Lake Powell are managed by the Department of the Interior within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

The Glen Canyon Bridge or Glen Canyon Dam Bridge is a steel arch bridge in Coconino County, Arizona, carrying U.S. Route 89 across the Colorado River. The bridge was originally built by the United States Bureau of Reclamation to facilitate transportation of materials for the Glen Canyon Dam, which lies adjacent to the bridge just 865 feet (264 m) upstream. The two-lane bridge has an overall length of 1,271 feet (387 m) with a deck 700 feet (210 m) above the river, making it one of the highest bridges in the United States. The bridge was the highest arch bridge in the world when completed in 1959.[1]

Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River in Utah and Arizona, United States. It is a major vacation destination visited by approximately two million people every year. It holds 24,322,000 acre-feet (3.0001×1010 m3) of water when full, second in the United States to only the downstream reservoir of Lake Mead – though Lake Mead has fallen below Lake Powell in size several times during the 21st century in terms of volume of water, depth and surface area.[2][3]

AI homage to Beatrix Potter's series of Peter Rabbit stories. For the Sliders Sunday group. Base image created using AI tools and processed using Photoshop and Quad Pencil. Happy Sliders Sunday and Happy Easter!
I have always been a huge fan of Beatrix Potter, certainly for her stories and illustrations but even more for her activities as an environmentalist and conservationist. She was an English author and illustrator, best known for her children's books featuring animal characters, such as "The Tale of Peter Rabbit." She was also a natural scientist and conservationist, credited with preserving much of the land that now constitutes the Lake District National Park.
Turtle Dove seen near Staple in Kent.
The European turtle dove (Streptopelia turtur) is a member of the bird family Columbidae, the doves and pigeons. According to the State of Europe's Common Birds 2007 report, the turtle dove population in Europe has fallen by 62% in recent times. Environmentalist groups have said that this is partly because changed farming practices mean that the weed seeds and shoots on which it feeds, especially fumitory, are more scarce, and partly due to shooting of birds in some countries.
