Grant's Gazelle (male)
As western Canadians deal with yet another severe season of forest fires, I thought I'd post an image from the Samburu region of Kenya. I spent a few days in the region last summer and the area is quickly transitioning into a desert as a result of an extensive long-term drought.
Gazelles are reasonably common in certain African regions but often overlooked animals by photographers. They are truly beautiful animals and key to the food chains of the big cats. Sadly, I can't help but wonder about the future of wildlife in a region that has become as dry as Samburu.

Sometimes you have to stop, take that breath, let go of the past, and allow the future to come in. Relax and let go of the bad and embrace the good, each day is a new day.

I'm writing the future
I'm writing it out, loud.
We don't talk about the past
We don't talk about the past, now
So I'm writing the future
I'm leaving a key here
Something won't always be missing
It won't always feel empty, here
Just think of the future
And think of your dreams
You'll get away from here
You'll get away eventually
So just think of your future
Think of a new life
Don't get lost in the memories
Keep your eyes on a new prize
Climbing out of lockdown, the framework may be a bit wobbly but the future is brighter.

U-Bahnhof HafenCity Universität Hamburg
Die U4 und ihre neuen Haltestellen wurden am 29. November 2012 eröffnet. Die Haltestelle HafenCity Universität wurde zunächst nur am Wochenende und an Feiertagen angefahren, am 10. August 2013 wurde der reguläre Betrieb aufgenommen. Später sollen bis zu 35.000 Fahrgäste täglich die U4 nutzen. Der U-Bahnhof HafenCity Universität war bis zum 6. Dezember 2018 die Endhaltestelle der U4, bis die Strecke zum Bahnhof Hamburg-Elbbrücken, einem geplanten Umsteigeknoten mit der S-Bahn nach Harburg, eröffnet wurde. Der U-Bahnhof erhielt den Radiance Award for Excellence in Lighting Design 2013 der International Association of Lighting Designers.

04-May-2022: about turism: my perplexities towards a future with more and more bans and more and more over-taxes.
Lake Bohinj and the much more famous Lake Bled are close (less than 20 km) but the second has a mass tourism now rooted, while the first is expanding its tourist reception in recent years, coming out (unfortunately) from the shadow of Bled, that was a lightning rod for peaceful and symbiotic nature lovers.
I am totally against mass tourism because it transforms a relaxing resort into an area where it is difficult even to access it.
Around Lake Bled, even at a certain distance, there are only paid parking lots, which come to cost 6 euros per hour (about the most decentralized and in May...) that, certainly, leave perplexed about the "tourist selection" that "they" would like to implement (high-end tourism) and, in general, certainly drive away the tourist in search of nature and not restaurants, bars, concrete lake-front and crowd baths.
The naturalist tourist should not feel like a tourist in Nature, which is a single great asset of humanity and that only administratively is divided between various Countries, while in Bled, as in Rimini or Cortina d'Ampezzo, they make you feel not only tourist, but also guest, sometimes unwanted if you spend little.
As tourism increases, so do the bans, because unfortunately mass tourism includes many people who don't know anything about Nature and generally only go to very touristy places to make themselves of...people, sowing dirt and ignorance wherever they move.
The imposition of prohibitions/bans to limit the "damage from mass tourism" affects everyone indiscriminately, including locals and naturalists who have always had a symbiotic relationship with these places, thus making them become inhospitable, at least to those seeking pure contact with nature itself.
Of course this happens all over the world, but it should be condemned.
We already pay State taxes for the maintenance of the slice of Nature that falls within our administration, tourist surcharges, exploiting market laws that should be verified and contained, are for the most part unconstitutional, as well as several prohibitions that deprive access and use of public property.
With the money that the tourist municipalities pocket they could very well implement a targeted prevention (controls by foresters, cameras, ad hoc fences for areas subject to micro-pollution...) rather than closing everything and then de-empowering themself on the maintenance of roads and areas (more and more numerous), thus going to save further, starting from the basic taxes that we pay to also have access to given areas.
I can understand that you tax parking at high altitude to maintain the roads, but the amount of the payment should be directly proportional to the expenses that must be incurred to ensure accessibility, not by putting prices at random and with increases of 200% from one year to the next.
I have always appreciated the fact that Slovenia, thanks also that it is not densely inhabited and has a modest tourism (except precisely Bled, Postojna Caves and the Coast), guarantees a wide accessibility and use of its territories and I hope it can continue, limiting the prohibitions and parking lots everywhere.
