At first I wanted to shoot something that actually had "earth" in it. Then I thought, "Hey, water is the sustenance of life on earth, be it human, flora or fauna."

Unfortunately, as humans we create things that destroy our earth and although we say we care, it is clear we really don't care enough, or there would be greater improvements.

My picture honors that which is required for all of us to live - one of Nature's most valuable gifts - while trying to survive through that which man creates that is not always in harmony with nature.

Still, the future is good. I do not believe it is "too late". Otherwise, why would we bother? ;-)

Wonderful, the brightness and color is simply amazing! ????? · 2012-04-22: 19:02

Nice! Is this the face of a fountain? There were some interesting Earth Day events happening around the OC yesterday but as my son and his wife were "available" we opted to LA... and viewing a digitally redone "Chinatown". 8^) DancingDolphin · 2012-04-23: 11:00
