Taking a picture, is as many art forms, incredibly intuitive. Working and trusting on your gut feeling.

With photography I often try to look with the eyes of an extraterrestrial. #alieneyes #bnwphotography #anthropocene

What if we humans turned into crickets all of a sudden?

There comes a moment when plastics and nature merge.

@BarackObama No he is not. Justin Trudeau is a big time Fracking promotor.
I like you Barack but you simply did not enough to change the climate crisis we are in. But you can still work on it if you want.

@tjparfitt He never had it.

افزایش غلظت گاز متان در هوای مناطق قطب شمال بعضی اقلیم شناسان رو وحشتزده کرد چون میتونه شروع رهایی برگشت ناپذیر متان از لایه های زیر یخ های قطبی باشه. گاز متان ۲۳ برابر قویتر از CO2 در گرمایش زمینه. بعضی اقلیم شناسها هم میگن نترسید شاید این متان از توسعه دامداری اومده نه ذوب یخها

@SvdrHorst @jeremycorbyn The referendum was never binding, so in the end it was a political decision to go along with it or not. A decision with such consequences that only a 3/4 of a majority could justify the change. Sadly enough both the torries and Labour are pro-brexit.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

A new UN report concludes that 1mn spices risk extinction because of human activity. And that the destruction of nature threatens humanity.
And yet, this is not top news. As long as it continues like this, as long as the media fails to take responsibility, we stand no chance.

[Joost Gerritsen @joost2020]

And then there is the environment, a mixture of man made objects and broken down nature. It”s not art but shows the contrast of a smooth coloured tube and firewood.

Walking with the dogs, scattered beer tins and lost shoes.
The impact of humanity of what we call nature is obvious. Making the romantic #CasperDavidFriederich feeling obsolete.
The beer tin becomes nature.
