Human activity

A stark reminder of the destruction we are causing to life in the oceans. A shark made up totally of non-degradable garbage foundĀ in our seas on display at Sea World, San Antonio. The disappearance of flight MH370 and the number of false sightings of wreckage in the ocean indicates that our oceans are full of floating debris resulting from indiscriminate and reckless dumping of waste, much to the detriment of all life that has survived for millions of years.

Floating peril
All manner of plastic waste found in our oceans!

Urbine-ator!!

The latest design in wind turbine technology for urban settings appears to be the vertical turbine. I have read somewhere that these are called urbines (for urban turbines)!! The photo below is a composite of 3 shots taken in quick succession and then merged.
