Info (SP): Esta fue la primera remesa de multiples unidades en la historia de Global.

De los veinte que comenzaron el servicio, permanecen circulando seis. En su mayoría estan puestos en reten como vehiculos de apoyo para sustituciones puntuales pero todavía se les puede ver ayudando en rutas de dificultad considerable.

"Global pollution" är min tolkning till Fotosöndag och tema "Absurd",
Skorstenarna som spyr ut sin rök med gasmasken i mitten ska symbolisera det destruktiva och absurda sätt vi människor förgiftar och förstör jorden vi bor på.
"Global pollution" is my contribution to theme "Absurd" for the photogroup Photosunday.
The chimneys and the smoke aside the gasmask is a symbolic picture for the destructive and absurd way we people on earth is living today, which pollute and destroy the world we live in.

Due to the unusal high temperatures, spring is also here. One of the few good things of global warming (I guess)
it is important to remember that billions of people live in this world and that there exists thousands of other cultures, most of which are vastly different than yours. that does not mean they are lesser than you, nor does it mean they are better than you. explore. learn.

*Working Towards a Better World
We seem to be living in a precarious world in these times where we are afraid of one another, distrustful, not willing to work together, wanting to ignore the real global warming problem and seem to forget how we all belong to the human race and need to cooperate with one another in order to find mutual solutions for better and equal living for everyone. For this reason I wish to share my daughter's poem again, which she wrote beautifully for my painting Coming Together.
COMING TOGETHER
Asian, Latin, European, African,
Native, Indigenous, Foreign, Alien,
Descriptions that fall short,
vague splotches on the canvas of life.
All have but one heart that beats,
blood is but one color.
Flesh and Features, each unique
Organs and muscles, identical.
Each face a work of art
each mark distinctively it's own.
The beauty of our differences
far surpasses mere mortal comprehension.
Each unmatched culture,
its own vibrant combination of colors and sounds,
the pulsing of a nation, a people.
These different beats unite,
to make the music of our world.
As each exceptional voice blends with the other,
the harmony of humanity rises
high above the dark clouds of oppression and ignorance.
North, South, East, West,
a baby's cry is but the same.
The pang of hunger and indifference
changes not with skin color.
In the ears of every mother and father
every sister and brother
the cries of oppression should ring loud.
A call to action, a call to save our human family.
Our differences are but brush strokes on this canvas,
each unique in shape and color
when viewed together.....
form the masterpiece of mankind.

Global Warning will likely cause mass extinctions and chaos to many living things. To the hardy cholla cactus it will be an invitation to propagate and prosper, however.
