Isn't it strange that (almost) everyone is committed to the climate targets in the 2015 Paris Climate Accords, but fossil fuel production is still increasing worldwide?
What does this imply about the seriousness of efforts to stop global warming?

Across the meadow to Hogwarts.
Alnwick Castle, home of the Duke of Northumberland. This famous castle has been used for various locations by film and tv companies but is mostly famous for being Hogwarts, the school attended by Harry Potter.
The River Aln meanders through the estate and it's a lovely peaceful walk across the meadow towards to castle.
Happy Fence Friday - HFF :))

"Climate change isn’t an ‘issue’ to add to the list of things to worry about, next to health care and taxes. It is a civilizational wake-up call. A powerful message — spoken in the language of fires, floods, droughts, and extinctions — telling us that we need an entirely new economic model and a new way of sharing this planet. Telling us we need to evolve."
(Naomi Klein)
A shot from La Grange, Texas. So different from the hill country where I live. But, still pretty in its own way.
I signed up with Airbnb and I have my first people coming on Friday. However, I have discovered a down side to Airbnb. They report all your income to the IRS..;( I didn't see that coming. So, I'm still listing room mate wanted in the newspapers..:).
Thank you for your interest in and taking the time to comment on or fav my photos it's very much appreciated! :-)

..HFF!!
..lol..You had to know I took more than one drive by fence shot..;).However, I think this is the last one I'll post. They others don't do as much for me. This one didn't either until I ran it through Topaz Studio.
There was an art festival going on while I was at the coast. I had forgotten that Rockport was an art community. After taking this pic I went and walked around the in side and was really impressed by the work of so many artist. However, most of it was paintings. I hate the fact that people to recognize photography as art. Sure there was some photography work but selling for so much less than the paintings.
Other than that..;) The festival was fun. There was live music, lots of different foods and of course, the rides. I didn't go on the rides..:)
