Posted by Craig (Vacaville, California, United States) on 9 October 2008 in Business & Industry and Portfolio.
I'm on holiday! But, I've pre-posted a couple shots. I hope to catch up with you upon my return. In the meant time, happy shoot'in!!!

That is a powerful imagery to illustrate the point. It doesn't seem to get like that on the east coast. The only time it looks like that is in fog and fog is ok.

It's both terrifying and beautiful because of light and colors. A strange ambiguity...

OMG! that is a lot of pollution, I find it quite strange that something this awful (the pollution) can look strangely beautiful.
Hope you have a great holiday Craig :)

a beautiful shot (light and colour) of a sad subject. I especially like the way you have captured the plant hovering above a bed of miasma.

Somehow you've found the beauty in all this toxic mess... May we all one day discover how to transform what is toxic into something that actually blesses and is good in real time, space and place, before it is too late.

@Viewfinder: Your statement reminds me that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. :0) At least I think that's the way the saying goes.
