virus

We're doing it to ourselves.
If you look closely at this image you'll see a f**king plastic bottle washed up on the f**king beach. It's probably too little too late but sweet mother pus bucket us humans really need to start picking up after ourselves and not behaving like such a f**king virus.
And yes, I did pick it up and dispose of it responsibly.
"f**king plastic bottle", but not sure about the "f**king beach". That may be why the light bent. Nice of you.

High time for punitive taxes on everything to do with bottled water in countries like ours!! What comes out of the tap is excellent quality, why on earth (literally) buy it in a bloody single-use plastic bottle?????
May 22nd, 2019  
Yes they are every where .. why is it so hard to take it home and get rid of it ..
Great God beams and shot..

lovely beach shot - and yes, we have ruined our planet, and are continuing to do so. (I've got Cheeki bottles in various sizes to fill with tap water and have had long enough for them to look battered)

Oh, yeah, I hear you! Drives me crazy to see what people drop behind them. I just can't believe that in this day and age, there are still some people out there doing such stuff! Beautiful image though.

@jamibann There's always a handy bin so it really is just laziness.
@shannejw Points to you - I never leave the house without my stylish stainless steel bottle...which I think is almost as old as me ;)
@julzmaioro It's not...unless you happen to be lazy...
@golftragic I completely agree...and if your water ain't as good as you'd like it you can always get a filter...
@yaorenliu My rant is over...I'll carry on picking up other peoples rubbish
May 22nd, 2019  
Say it. Pick up ya bloody rubbish people.
May 22nd, 2019  
@brigette Preach it sister ;)
May 22nd, 2019  
This is a problem we have here too, 'stupid people not giving a shit.' Glad to know I'm not the only one picking up other peoples garbage.
btw, lovely beach shot!
May 22nd, 2019  
Bottled water is the devil. I get angry every time I think of all the plastic in the oceans/lakes. Also, I never fail to find trash when hiking in even the remotest woods. People are disgusting, fallen creatures. Anyway, I like your photo! :)
May 22nd, 2019  
hmm, would've missed it. A sad but common find:( And we just elected a PM who loves coal. What hope....?
May 22nd, 2019  
@pusspup Maybe just like our president, he's paid to like like coal.
May 22nd, 2019  
I'm always amazed by the amount of garbage people leave behind - the dog poo especially enrages me! Just can't wrap my mind around someone's ability to be so thoughtless.
I always like your beach scenes. Photoshop to the rescue.

I think I might like sweet mother pus bucket if I ever got to meet her. Wonderful image making a very powerful point
May 22nd, 2019  
No excuse...and so depressing to read how far gone the planet is with this kind of neglect. An otherwise beautiful scene.
May 22nd, 2019  
Love the rays, love the reflections, hate the garbage
May 22nd, 2019  
Fantastic...fav
May 22nd, 2019  
Beautiful photo, depressing message.I didn't notice the bottle till you mentioned it, now I can't un-see it. Trash is one of my pet peeves, sometimes I just want to shake people till their brains come out their eye sockets.
May 22nd, 2019  
Beautiful photo, hate carbage, recycle everything if possible and don’t understand people who leave their mess behind.
May 22nd, 2019  
Another gorgeous shot with fabulous light. Shame about us humans spoiling everything 😡
May 22nd, 2019  
Its worse than you think: https://youtu.be/1OsfthNps7Q?t=511
May 22nd, 2019  
thankfully I just see the beauty of this. One of the reasons I started taking my camera with me where ever I go is so that I can shut out the rubbish from view and focus on the 'music beneath the noise'. Otherwise, my anger levels get too high.
May 22nd, 2019  
it's beyond frightening to face what we are doing to this planet :(
May 22nd, 2019  
I totally agree with your sentiments and this is a gorgeous reminder to us to care for our Mother
May 22nd, 2019  
Wow! Fav!

@graemestevens We're singing from the same hymn sheet.
May 23rd, 2019  
@shannejw So do we, and they're darned good bottles and keep-cups too.
May 23rd, 2019  
@haskar Thanks very much :)
@jgpittenger Thank you kindly :)
@koalagardens It is indeed - we should be stopped.
@helenhall My levels of righteous outrage keep setting new records...
@byrdlip Thanks - interesting watch :)
@suesmith Thank you and yes, agreed.
@jacqbb Neither do I...it astounds me
@lsquared I would gladly help you with that ;)
@tonygig Thanks very much :)
@fbailey Thank you kindly :)
@taffy Thank you and yes, agreed
@pistache She certainly sounds "interesting"
@365karly1 I had two dogs that I walked twice and day and I always managed to pick up after them...there's no excuse
@pusspup What hope indeed...
@mikegifford And yet ours has happily declared no more new oil & gas exploration permits and no coal...
@juliedduncan I agree wholeheartedly - just when you think they can't go any lower...
@novab You're not alone!
May 23rd, 2019  
@graemestevens oh mother nature will stop us, I'm quite certain
May 23rd, 2019  
@koalagardens I have a sinking feeling that it's not far away either...
May 23rd, 2019  
Beautiful scene..............such a shame about the slobs that leave their garbage around!
May 23rd, 2019  
Lots of people just don't have a care for the environment at all, its very disheartening. But l do like this dramatic shot
May 24th, 2019  
@joannakate Thank you kindly...and yes, it is disheartening when the rest of us are trying...
@radiogirl Thanks you very much...they're all bastards!
May 24th, 2019  
Now this is a subject that has me instantly angry... but sadly, I suspect we've passed the point of no return for our planet.
May 24th, 2019  
@vignouse I believe so - we may slow it for a while but I think it's gone beyond ever stopping it.
May 24th, 2019  
Heartbreaking to know that so much damage has already been done and disheartening that it continues.
Littering is so lazy, thoughtless and unnecessary.
Grrrrr!
May 24th, 2019  
@4rky Makes me angrier than angry...growly growly
May 24th, 2019  
People don’t respect the environment world wide unfortunately, makes me angry too
May 25th, 2019  
@kjarn It makes me a little more than angry to be honest...
May 25th, 2019  
Love the reversal of angle in the beams reflected onto the beach. Cool composition tracking the light from top RH to beach to lower RH corner. :)
May 26th, 2019  
@robz Thank you kindly ;)
May 26th, 2019  
Great shot. I feel your rage.
May 26th, 2019  
@adayinmallacoota Thanks very much :)
