Home, Sweet Forest




Image #1 Original: Strip Mining. The original image sighs...please help me. The pulse of the earth is weak and one can see clearly from the photo that vitality and life is non-existent. It hurts to look at this image---a huge gaping hole in the earth, barren and depleted.

Image #2: Remix. Home, Sweet Forest. The remixed image appears to sing a song of harmony with a vital, vibrant and life-sustaining forest and lake. Without strip-mining, we can preserve our natural resources for the enjoyment of future generations.
