Anthropocene

Anthropocene
Marshlands Conservancy, Rye, NY

Note: Although this is a nature preserve, humans have made an indelible impact on its environment ranging from litter and pollution, to inscribing their names and initials on brickwork of ruins, and carving pictographs and letters into the bark of trees. With humans having directly transformed the Earth's environment, the planet entered a new epoch -- the Anthropocene Epoch c. 1950 CE (and not for good reasons). Is this the final epochal period as we blindly approach our extinction?

A great set of wonderful pics, masterfully composed,
unfortunately, as humans, we have done much worse than not hurt the trees in this ways only...

Sadly we've killed countless living creatures through pollution, experimentation, and even war even though these living beings had as much desire to live as us. :( Thank you Zucchi!

A great part of our people is not interested at all in saving the planet, they lack the brains and/or are too selfish...........great report!

I can never understand how anyone can
cut into a tree in this way ... do parents not
bring children up to respect nature anymore !
I think of the saying . . .

I think that I will never see
a billboard lovely as a tree
in fact unless the billboards fall
I'll never see a tree at all !

You make valid points, and I see this more and more too. It's disgraceful, disgusting and infuriating. People are becoming less and less in touch with nature and thus, have no respect for the beauty there. I love your interpretation...it's stark and has some shock value. Well done!!
