The Death of our Oceans


This photo is of items that were dumped prior to the oceans ant-dumping laws being put into effect.

The scary part is that this means that the tires in the picture have been there for over 30 years and show very little decay in all that time.

Can you imagine the amount of debris and junk including nuclear waste sitting at the bottom of our oceans. The other part of the problem is that although dumping in the oceans has officially stopped (If we cant stop pirates from hi-jacking ocean liners, how are we going to stop illegal dumping?) nobody has worked out how much junk flows into our oceans via polluted river systems.

Just think of the thousands of rivers that flow into the sea and how many cities they pass enroute.

I think its to late to cry for mother earth, its now time to start mourning.

Motivation

I found a few words that have helped me stick to the grindstone till I can next get out and climb. I am almost keeping it together.

"If all the year were playing holidays; To sport would be as tedious as to work."

William Shakespeare, 'The First Part of King Henry the IV'
Greatest English dramatist & poet (1564 - 1616)

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS)



An amazing photo of the Steve Irwin from the good people at Sea Shepherd.

An amazing organisation with an amazing team. Visit the website, buy some amazing gear and help take back the defense of our oceans.

This is a cause I can stand behind and support with pride.

Shadows

Every Night I have a Dream
About a woman and a fighting machine
The woman I know for I love her so
The warrior is a face
that has no real place
I have never seen him before
but now he prepares for war
every night in my dreams
and when I wake up
I can hear the echo's of his screams

Shadows (By Adrian Lamond - Circa 1990

Dreams are Life's Blood
They are what keeps the soul alive
