Fledgling goldfinch, fed by adult male, has done nothing to overheat the world and induce climate change.
I feel so sad.
Will return to comment soon. Off to write email to political weenies and to fill out questionnaires.
As this sightless 2020 started, it could have looked like this in some part of the world. The pandemic served as an inspiration for the purpose, so I designed and made this post-apocalyptic scenario as Corona concept. I wish everyone a better 2021.
As always, thank you so much for your visits, comments and faves!
Global warming isn't a prediction.
It is happening.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
'Bug of the Day'... Classed as a 'Rare vagrant', we had at least five males and one female which was observed mating and ovipositing.
A sign of Global warming...
We hope that we live long enough to see the landing of humans on mars. Longevity is the main issue for us, but it shows that we don't act in that way..
We also hope that humans are able to travel to other galaxies one day if we are able to survive the dangers like asteroids, global warming ,climate change, racism, nationalism, hunger, wars, viruses (like coronavirus), sicknesses, etc.
The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is an irregular galaxy, the closest neighbouring galaxy to the Earth's location in the Milky Way, being located about 25,000 light-years (236,000,000,000,000,000 km) away from our Solar System.
Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is located in the same part of the sky as the constellation Canis Major. Canis Major is a constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere.The southern celestial hemisphere is also called the Southern Sky. Some constellations in the northern sky are Leo, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius and Pisces.
Drought in the Dutch nature reserve Galderse Heide next to the Mastbos (Breda, North Brabant). The dry, but originally swampy terrain is overgrown with the invasive swamp stonecrop or Crassula helmsii plants; these are practically impossible to remove.

This is what the surf normally looks like on Tongetapu Island. So you can imagine that we were a little nervous hanging out here during the Tsunami warnings of October, 2009. Tonga will be one of the first nations to be seriously affected by global warming since most of the islands are flat and rise to only a few meters above sea level. I can't imagine having this on my doorstep with the seas rising and having nowhere to go...

Cambridge Street is one of the popular areas in East Vancouver that people can watch the autumn colour. There are so many photographers showing up on the street today when I was there.
When I was shooting the trees, one cyclist passed by and she told me these autumn red was the result of global warming. The drought in summer has caused the trees turning red so early this year. It was showing how much stressed the trees are. This is not a beautiful scene at all.
What do you think when you see this autumn colour?
What will be the responsibility of a photographer other than just revealing the scene and colour to viewers?
Have a great weekend!
Professional storm chasers monitor an approaching tornado in western Kansas on May 8, 2008.
'May 8, 2008 felt like a special day from the minute I awakened. My photo assistant and I started the day early and so did this storm. It was early afternoon. Within an hour of arriving at my target area, we got to witness full tornado genesis, from the very first towering cumulus clouds to the development of this spectacular slow-moving land spout tornado. At one point, the tornado changed direction and moved straight toward us, forcing me to speedily backup. But when I stopped my vehicle, the tornado surprisingly stopped: less than 200 feet in front of us directly over the road. It just stood there, spinning, almost like it was watching us. As luck would have it, I was on assignment for Nikon and testing an early release model of the Nikon D700. I jumped out of our research vehicle, grabbed the DSLR and started shooting. I stepped back to include the vehicle in the frame to give it scale. It was one of the most memorable days of my 23-year career.' - Jim Reed

You must have heard
You must have known it by now
Times have changed and not for the better
Soon all of us will be without a shelter
What use to be our planet is not all it was cracked up to be
The icebergs are melting and the weather is drastic
Our cars, our electricity, our way of life is bringing us down
Where it use to be life is now slowly decaying
We will tell our children of how green everything use to be
We will tell them when the weather was nice
We will tell them but they will find it hard to believe
The reflections of how it use to be
Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station cooling towers, contrasting with a 19th Century farmhouse.
Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station is a coal-fired power station located at Ratcliffe-on-Soar in Nottinghamshire, England. The power station, commissioned in 1968, dominates the skyline for many miles around with its eight cooling towers and 199 m (653 ft) tall chimney.
***LAST DAY OF OPERATION 30th September 2024***
'The coal-fired plant is due to be decommissioned in 2025, and the site is under consideration for Britain's first commercial fusion-powered electricity generating plant, using the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) process.'

as if we were the last

Dedicated to C.F. (ILYWAMHASAM)
Ninety percent of the village of Lytton, B.C. was destroyed by a catastrophic forest fire that engulfed the community after three days of scorching heat that peaked at 49.6 Celsius (121.28 degrees Fahrenheit). Some green regeneration in the surrounding forest is beginning but the devastation to this community is overwhelming. This photo is taken and included out of utmost respect, heartfelt love and support for the Lytton residents who have suffered so much.
