Earth Choke | 03:00AM Apr 22, 2008
Tuesday is Earth Day. Sadly, every day our planet suffocates and suffers a little more - even in remote areas far from large population centers such as the area I photographed around Big Bend, Texas.
In this image the distant hills and mountains to the left are completely obstructed from view by smog. There were many times I would try to appreciate and visually 'imagine' the detail and color of the landscape, but could not raise my camera realizing the image would not photograph well and be void of any pleasurable visual element.
Many feel we may be 'green' and environmentally conservative, but obviously there is more we must do in the footprint we leave and those we elect.
