Photos from Wrangell - St. Elias National Park and Preserve, Nootka Lupine in British Columbia, the boreal forest in the Yukon Territory, Cloudland Canyon in Georgia, Little Tennessee River, North Carolina, Appalachian Trail and Blood Mountain, Georgia and Jasper National park, Alberta, Canada.
"We have cut a path of destruction, ignored the spreading deserts, disregarded the disappearing animals, the fouled air and water, the warming planet. We have destroyed most of the earth's natural cover and we pretend we can live without it." -- Derrick Jensen, "Strangely Like War -- The Global Assault on Forests".
These photographs are a tiny representation of the natural world. To really experience the world, we need to be in it, to allow ourselves the time to get to know the planet, the mountains, the forest and the desert. The ecosystems we're all a part of are able to reward us far more than many of us realize. This exchange is a 2 way system, and I firmly believe those same systems benefit when we take the time to appreciate and experience them. Thank you -- Carl Donohue, Nov, 2004.
