Early in 2001 the Government initiated a rapid assessment of the feasibility of providing antiretroviral drugs through the public sector. The treatment program began at a single site in January 2002. Now all citizens in Botswana have free access to anti-retrovirals. But much remains to be done.
i struggle with posting this image. i have another powerful image in which faces are recognizable, which i decided not to post.
my question to you, flickr-folk (if you choose to share your opinion), is when do such images cross the threshold into exploitation (or at least bad taste)? what is your reflexive or considered reaction as a photographer or as a viewer?

A young female approaches my car slowly after we stared at each other for over 20 mins in total silence about 14 years ago. I love gaining the confidence of large cats the PROPER non intrusive way. This was well before sunrise so there are no shadows ..Sadly with new abusive spotlighted night drives in Tourist hotspots being the new quick fix method of finding these cats who are now so habituated to vehicles and man and have literally given up being their normal elusive selves in these over exploited establishments ..The power of money at the expense of the big cats
Water always finds a way to exploit the weakest rock as demonstrated here. I suspect this might have been a small syncline and the sea has worn away at the cracks in the rock
Lagos de Covadonga, Asturias, España.
El conjunto de los lagos de Covadonga está formado por dos pequeños lagos, el Enol y el Ercina de origen glaciar situados en la parte asturiana del Parque Nacional de los Picos de Europa, en el macizo occidental de dicha cadena montañosa. Existe un tercer lago, el Bricial, que solo tiene agua durante el deshielo, pero también pertenece al conjunto. En Asturias son conocidos simplemente como los lagos.
Se sitúan en el concejo de Cangas de Onís y se accede a ellos a través de una carretera de 14,5 km que nace en el Real Sitio de Covadonga para llegar en primer lugar al lago Enol, incluyendo también una pequeña carretera que les llevaría hasta el Lago Ercina. Su frecuente uso desde 1983 como final de etapa en la Vuelta ciclista a España ha popularizado internacionalmente el paraje.
La afluencia masiva de turistas, sobre todo aficionados al ciclismo, ha obligado a limitar el desarrollo de pruebas ciclistas en el entorno de Los Lagos. No obstante, la zona cuenta con una infraestructura turística.
La excesiva afluencia de visitas, en especial en temporada alta, también ha supuesto que el acceso en coche a los Lagos esté restringido, pudiendo acceder únicamente utilizando el transporte público habilitado para ello. Los vehículos particulares solo pueden circular a primera hora de la mañana (antes de las 8:30 a.m) y a última de la tarde ( a partir de las 20:00p.m). En temporada baja, no hay rectricciones de acceso con vehículo particular.
En las proximidades del lago Ercina, en Buferrera, hasta 1979 se explotaron minas de hierro, manganeso y mercurio. Las personas que visitan dicho paraje tienen a su disposición un aparcamiento "aparcamiento de Buferrera", un centro de visitantes , un refugio y dos bares restaurante para su disfrute.
The set of Covadonga lakes is made up of two small lakes, the Enol and the Ercina, of glacial origin, located in the Asturian part of the Picos de Europa National Park, in the western massif of said mountain range. There is a third lake, the Bricial, which only has water during the thaw, but it also belongs to the whole.In Asturias they are known simply as the lakes.
They are located in the council of Cangas de Onís and are accessed through a 14.5 km road that starts at the Real Sitio de Covadonga to reach Lake Enol first, including also a small road that would take them to Lake Ercina. Its frequent use since 1983 as the end of the stage in the Cycling Tour of Spain has made the place internationally popular.
The massive influx of tourists, especially cycling fans, has forced to limit the development of cycling events in the surroundings of Los Lagos. However, the area has a tourist infrastructure.
The excessive influx of visitors, especially in high season, has also meant that access by car to the Lakes is restricted, and can only be accessed using public transport enabled for this. Private vehicles can only circulate first thing in the morning (before 8:30 a.m.) and late in the afternoon (after 20:00 p.m.). In low season, there are no access restrictions with a private vehicle.
In the vicinity of Lake Ercina, in Buferrera, iron, manganese and mercury mines were exploited until 1979. People who visit this place have at their disposal a "Buferrera parking" car park, a visitor center, a shelter and two restaurant bars for their enjoyment.
Curzon Street Tunnel is on the Digbeth Branch Canal, completed in 1799.
The Grade II listed structure is 161 yards long and carries the Birmingham to London railway across the canal. The older brick tunnel was constructed at the same time as Curzon Street station in 1838 and lengthened later when the line was extended into New Street station, opened in 1854.
I have decided to post at least one shot of my previous (2007-2014 +) exploits before my reacquaintence with Ruth Bancroft Garden. So Saturday, it may be a bird, bug, bison, or beetle. And Sunday, I'll be back with photos of flowers.
When you walk through the gates at the Garden and head straight, you will come to a patch of wild yellow Zinnias. Though this time, I managed to avoid cactuc growing in the middle of the 10x5 foot carpet, the zinnias surround four cacti. But you've got to see these, an intrusive yellow (view large) that meets you every time you come to the Garden. They're in bloom for three months, and look just like this.
Zinnia grandiflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common names Rocky Mountains zinnia and plains zinnia. It is native to the southwestern and south-central United States, but does well in parts of Calfiornia.
Zinnia grandiflora is a small flat-topped or rounded subshrub growing up to 8+1⁄2 inches tall with many slender, branching stems. Though I found nothing to suggest it, I'm willing to be that some people will find this to be an intrusive weed. This one is "safe." The yellow flowers (plant) you should avoid is Scotch Broom. I love it, but left unattended for two or three years, it blocked a gate in our fence and gave quite a fight when I tried to remove it.
Anamakia (Madagascar) – Le village rural d'Anamakia se trouve à une bonne dizaine de kilomètres au sud-ouest de Diego Suarez.
La piste terreuse conduit aux salines, connues sous le nom de "salines de Diego". Le site d'exploitation s'étend sur 700 hectares, pour une production annuelle de 100 000 tonnes de sel marin. Quand j'y suis allé, il n'y avait aucune activité. Au retour, à proximité d’Anamakia, je me suis rabattu sur des scènes de la vie rurale.

Anamakia (Madagascar) – The rural village of Anamakia is located about ten kilometers southwest of Diego Suarez.
The dirt track leads to the salt flats, known as the "Diego salt flats." The site covers 700 hectares, with an annual production of 100,000 tons of sea salt. When I went there, there was no activity. On the way back, near Anamakia, I focused on scenes of rural life.

Drottningholm exploits the surrounding landscape, like all the great baroque gardens. It was made for Queen Hedwig Eleonora, widow of Karl X, mother of Karl XI and grandmother of the warrior Karl XII.
Twelfth picture of the series Canes & Mud.
(Just the next day of previous photoshoot, I tryed another time for take longer exposures. For this shot I wanted to guide with the light of dawn on the boat in the foreground)
Magical sunrise in this beautiful place that is the Albufera of Valencia.
The image title is because during the photoshoot, surrounded by all this beauty, calm water, boat, reeds, mud, tranquility, flying birds ... every moment reminded me a lot to the great novel "Cañas y Barro" of the great Valencian writer Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, set in rural Valencia (Albufera) of the early twentieth century, the novel observes and portrays the social reality of the time and place with absolute precision.
Would like to thank this picture to my friend Javier Girbés, which helped me a lot with the location and encouraged me to know this magnificent spot.
On the technical side, say that I only used a neutral gradient three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Thursday. :)

We are so forthuate that caring people worked hard to preserve this land from the housing development slated to exploit all of the Marin Headlands. The power of a reflection is so mysterious and preserved for all time thanks to their strong efforts. This photograph is from well after sunset -- just grabbed us as we drove along this narrow bridge. We slammed on the brakes, fought with the tripod, prayed that no car would hit us and grabbed this shot. My son took the same view just to the left (he didn't want the bush in the way(!). We are looking West across the lagoon with Rodeo Beach just beyond, and the Point Bonita Lighthouse to our left. Adjustments were minimal (I used a polarizing filter, sharpened it a touch with minimal contrast enhancement. The red color is from my emergency blinkers.)

My wife grows Epiphyllum flower which only bloom (in our climate) in May and June. I photographed this back in 2016 and am looking forward to exploiting this year's crop in May and June.
Lighting: Lit with one Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera right and just out of the frame. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1700 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/

From ancient times to the present, philosophers have repeatedly emphasized the importance of living a frugal or minimalist life. The ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes said, “True wealth is not in increasing possessions, but in reducing one’s needs.” Mahatma Gandhi pointed to the destructive side of human greed, stating, “The Earth has enough for everyone’s needs, but not enough for everyone’s greed.” From the Buddha to Karl Marx, across the passage of time, many have expressed similar ideas. This minimalist concept in philosophy has greatly influenced the photographer, and its mark is clearly visible in his vision and framing.
The absence of color or the use of minimal composition in framing reflects the photographer’s inclination toward a minimalist approach. The fog, wrapped like a thick winter blanket, creates a serene atmosphere. In this calm and pure dramatic setting, human presence becomes secondary. Before nature, even humanity’s vast achievements become insignificant. That is why the photographer has kept humans and their architectural achievements in the background, framing the scene in a minimalist style. Here, nature is the primary subject—not humans or their constructions.
According to nihilism, or the philosophy of pessimism, human life does not has inherent purpose. Evolutionary theory has shown that humans are an unintended outcome of nature’s evolutionary process. Yet human beings, regarded as the finest of creations, continue to exploit all their knowledge and effort into seeking meaning in life. They establish ever-greater architectural structures upon the heart of nature. In proving their superiority, they seem to challenge nature itself. Viewing nature as an adversary, humanity gradually distances itself further and further from it.
Just returned from a week on the Isle of Skye with Terry (Bingleyman). We had an amazing week, the weather was perfect for photography, this is the first of many captures from the week.
I'll try my best to catch up with all my contacts in the coming weeks.

I could never have lived with myself hadn't I not chosen to battle the bitter gale that gave its all in a bid to prevent me capturing this light. As the scene blossomed, I had to retreat around to the south slopes of the 'Old Man,' seeking a little shelter in order to set things up. A scurry back round into the 'firing-line' ensued, where the ferocious updraft resulted in me having seven attempts, ONE of which somehow managing to avoid camera-shake. This was despite the use of my tripod coupled with the impressive stabilization feature on my camera.
The visual impact of the old mine workings below were avoided as much as possible. The modern interest in old industries has understandably lent a considerable amount of new-found value to this scene of devastation. Time my not have healed the scars, so the emphasis now is seemingly to celebrate & promote the endeavour, rather than bemoan the exploitation & rampant disfiguring of beautiful fell-country.
London's Natural History Museum (NHM) has undergone a major revamp with a blue whale skeleton now forming the main exhibit as visitors come through the front door.
The marine mammal replaces the much-loved Diplodocus dinosaur, "Dippy", which will soon head out on a tour of the UK.
The specimen is being given the name "Hope" as a "symbol of humanity's power to shape a sustainable future".
Blue whales are now making a recovery following decades of exploitation that nearly drove them out of existence.

Une petite incursion hors de sa cache, un signe, que le printemps est à nos portes..
"L’hiver est une période d’inactivité relative. Le rat musqué est à l’abri du froid et de la plupart de ses prédateurs. Il passe le plus clair de son temps à dormir et à se nourrir jusqu’au retour de la saison de reproduction, après le dégel du printemps.
Ces sorties sous une couche de glace et de neige pouvant atteindre un mètre d’épaisseur, dans une eau glaciale et dans une obscurité quasi totale, constituent un exploit tout à fait remarquable."

En 1965, Peter Wolkonsky achète les vieux bâtiments de ferme d'une exploitation agricole et recompose façades et toitures dans le style d'un ancien logis manorial du XVIIe siècle. Il creuse les différentes pièces d'eau, bâtit et décore des constructions annexes, fontaine ou pavillons et grotte italienne ornés de coquillages.
Les tempêtes de 1987 et 1999 causent de grands dégâts. Après la mort de Peter Wolkonsky en 1997, sa fille Isabelle et son mari Timothy Vaughan, paysagiste, restaurent le jardin et poursuivent l'œuvre de son créateur. Le paysagiste meurt en août 2025.
En 2021, les jardins sont achetés par le créateur de chaussures de luxe Christian Louboutin.
En mai 2025, ce jardin est considéré comme l'un des vingt-cinq plus beaux du monde, selon une liste publiée par le New York Times. Le paysagiste Louis Benech est à l'origine du classement du jardin à la 18e place.
Les jardins de Kerdalo s'étendent sur 18 hectares, le long d'un vallon encaissé qui descend en pente douce vers la rivière du Jaudy. Ce jardin-paysage à l'anglaise emprunte différents éléments d'inspiration italienne ou exotique.

In 1965, Peter Wolkonsky purchased the old farm buildings of a working farm and redesigned the facades and roofs in the style of a 17th-century manor house. He created various water features, built and decorated outbuildings, a fountain, pavilions, and an Italian grotto adorned with seashells. Storms in 1987 and 1999 caused extensive damage. After Peter Wolkonsky's death in 1997, his daughter Isabelle and her husband, landscape architect Timothy Vaughan, restored the garden and continued his work. The landscape architect died in August 2025. In 2021, the gardens were purchased by luxury shoe designer Christian Louboutin. In May 2025, this garden was ranked among the twenty-five most beautiful in the world, according to a list published by The New York Times. Landscape architect Louis Benech is responsible for the garden's 18th place ranking.
The Kerdalo gardens extend over 18 hectares, along a narrow valley that slopes gently down to the Jaudy River. This English-style landscape garden incorporates various elements of Italian and exotic inspiration.
Burn O'Vat is an example of a pothole, located close to Loch Kinord, near the village of Dinnet in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
According to local folklore, the cave behind the waterfall in the vat was used by Rob Roy, a notorious outlaw, to hide from the authorities. In fact, this is not true, with the cave instead being used as a hiding place for Patrick Gilroy Macgregor, an outlaw renowned for his exploits in Deeside during the 17th century and a possible relative of Rob Roy.

Falaises d'Ocre de Roussillon (Vaucluse).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Après le Colorado Provençal, une autre balade sur le sentier des Ocres de Roussillon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roussillon est célèbre pour la richesse de ses ocres dont les teintes vont du jaune au violet.
Ces Ocres ont été utilisées pour la fabrication de teintures et de colorants.
De grandes carrières ont été exploitées depuis la fin du 18ème siècle et ont employé mille personnes jusqu'en 1930.
L'exploitation de l'ocre à Roussillon doit tout à Jean-Étienne Astier qui, entre 1780 et 1785, étudia les propriétés des sables jaunes et rouges qui dominaient sur ses terres.
En 1790, il reçut l'aval du nouveau conseil municipal pour utiliser le moulin à huile du village.
En 1810, il fait fonctionner deux usines à proximité du village et une fabrique dans Roussillon même.
Aujourd'hui l'ocre n'est plus exploitée sur la commune, et son sentier des Ocres attire des milliers de touristes.

Maiti Nepal was born out of a crusade to protect Nepali girls and women from crimes like domestic violence, trafficking for flesh trade, child prostitution, child labor and various forms of exploitation and torture. A group of socially committed professionals like teachers, journalists and social workers together formed Maiti Nepal in 1993 to fight against all the social evils inflicted upon our female populace. Most of all, its special focus has always been on preventing trafficking for forced prostitution, rescuing flesh trade victims and rehabilitating them. This social organisation also actively works to find justice for the victimized lot of girls and women by engaging in criminal investigation and waging legal battles against the criminals. It has highlighted the trafficking issue with its strong advocacy from the local to national and international levels.
Maiti has no literal translation but it denotes a girl's real family, where she was born into. The word has a sentimental value especially for a married Nepali woman who has no longer any right towards her parents or their property. She then becomes an outsider belonging solely to her husband and her family forever. The famous song, Maiti ghar timro haina paryi ghar jao--meaning "this is not your home, you belong to an outsider (husband)" says it all.
Maiti Nepal however is home to all women and girls—whether married or not—who are exploited, their rights grossly violated and neglected by family and society likewise. It was a crusade to find such victims a home for their protection from social evils that gave birth to this NGO in November 1993.
It was started by a handful of conscious professionals like teachers, journalists, and social workers committed towards combating the social crimes like domestic violence, girl trafficking, child prostitution, child labour and various forms of female exploitation.
Maiti's focus has always been on prevention of girl trafficking, a burning issue for Nepal. Rescuing girls forced into prostitution and helping to find economic alternatives have been our key struggle. Rehabilitation, although not literally possible especially with former prostitutes, is one major challenge we have accepted in our work. The practical steps would be to counsel them and provide non-formal education on health, laws, basic reading and writing. They are also trained to develop income-generation skills and provided Maiti's shelter until they are ready to stand on their feet. The sexually abused girls, abandoned children, potential victims of trafficking, destitute women, prisoner's children, returnees from Indian brothels, girls and children infected with HIV and Hepatitis B, intercepted girls are the major target groups or say, beneficiaries of our programs.

The pit Bindweide is a visitor's mine in Steinbach / Sieg in the administrative district Altenkirchen. The history of this pit decreases to 1837, at that time the claim of the pit field occurred. However, already about 1810 a deep tunnel was attached in the area. In 1852 the mining law were lent, and in 1864 the mining company began work.
Spavin and brown iron ore was extracted before all hematite, besides also. In 1869 the annual support amounted to 7.393 t of ore, in 1880 there were already 26.142 t of brown iron ore and hematite as well as 218 t of spavin iron stone.
Already in 1889 one reached a support of 99.491 tons of hematite and brown iron ore as well as 14.912 t of spavin iron stone. The extraction per month lay with maximum 10,000 tons. All together one promoted 5,123,810 t of iron stone. On the 30th of September, 1931 the company was concluded, but because of the rest stocks of approx. 11 million tons the pit was led as a reserve mine.
Hence, it was possible to alter the pit Bindweide in a visitor's mine. This happened from 1981, in 1986 the visitor's mine was opened. In June, 2006 300,000 visitor's borders was crossed.
