finally, blue skies! but lower temperatures. actually it was 13C but with all the rains from the last two days and the wind sweeping the heavy clouds over the lake, mother nature is not merely hinting but blatantly telling us that the cold days are here. the trees aren't changing colours yet but they're getting there.
the jumbled up prompts for today turned out to be "clouds" and this was the view from my living room window this morning. towards the east which is to the left of this photo were grey heavy clouds over the lake which by mid-day dissipated to almost nothing and tonight, the skies are clear.
which brings me to an article purportedly from an australian newspaper:
"To all the school kids going on strike for climate change:
You are the first generation which has required air conditioning in every classroom, you want TV in every room and your classes are all computerized. You spend all day and night on electronic devices. More than ever you don’t walk or ride bikes to school, but you arrive in caravans of private cars that choke suburban roads and worsen rush hour traffic.
You’re the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever and update perfectly good, expensive luxury items just to stay trendy. Your entertainment comes from electric (sic) devices.
Furthermore the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration, which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport. The more people we have, the more forests and bush land we clear and the more of the environment that’s destroyed.
How about this: tell your teachers to switch off the air conditioning, walk or ride your bike to school, switch off your devices and read a book, make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured fast food.
Nope, none of this will happen, BECAUSE you’re selfish, badly educated, virtue signaling little turds inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a Noble Cause while they indulge themselves in western luxury and an unprecedented quality of life."
so, kid, what did you learn in school today, huh? oh, yeah, that's right, you were on strike. there goes mum and dad's hard earned money for your schooling.
Those clouds give the image so much depth. I have to say ..i have some sympathy for the striking children although the article ... which i have seen posted elsewhere ... does have some valid points.
