there is hope

I've been meaning to do this shoot for a long time. There is a small rest stop half way up a very steep hill I mountain bike most mornings. I sometimes stop there and have a drink of water, look out across the bushland, even look back across the land to see the buildings of the city standing tall but distant. Unfortunately not everyone stops to take in the view.

My god, this is depressing - but like you say "there is hope" and that is beautiful. Why do people have to f*ck everything up?

That is so sad, I have posted a similar topic on my blog also. To destroy a place that is so beautiful, really hurts my heart

Thanks for your comments. I ride through the hills a lot and this is but a fraction of what is left behind. Most probably because it's in the open. Further into the bush many people use tracks as dumping grounds. You can always tell where we've been.
