Green Lake

This photo, taken a few days ago, perfectly depicts the essence of Green Lake. Green Lake used to be a family area, great place for athletes to run, and where the UofW rowing team practices. Things are much more complicated at Green Lake today due to politics. There are rats, untidy piles of garbage, heroin needles scattered across the once pristine lawns. This wonderful family area will either survive the influx of filthy tents, RVs with their mentally ill and drug addicted occupants or be completely taken over in the next few years...time will tell.

Beautiful colors and I really like your pov. What a shame it may fall to decay.

[Diana]

So beautifully captured, how can such a wonderful environment go down the drain like that. I sure hope there will be a positive outcome.

What a stunning spot to have such a sad life right now. How does society handle these happenings - Know that's not the only place.

Sad story for such a beautiful place… love the dark grass in the foreground framing the shot and the curve of the water.

[Kate]

Always hard to watch a nice place get trashed.

[Carole Sandford]

All sounds rather sad!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Very sad. The powers that be want a welfare society- looks like they're getting it here. At least the shot hides what's really going on.

[Babs]

Nice framing. Hope it can be restored to its former glory

[Cathy]

Love the curvy line of the water, the soothing blues and greens but when I read your comments about how poorly the area is being cared for, it is heart breaking. I hope someone will spearhead a clean up of such a beautiful area.

A wonderfu scene and vrty sad news. What is happening at your lake is present all over my country. Strange politics draws the worst traits out of people.
