Mountain Top Removal


When I announced I had no picture for tonight, my friend Blanca suggested something on mountain top removal - to raise awareness.  She lives on Long Island, which I'm pretty sure doesn't have an issue with its mountain tops being removed, but it bothers her anyway.  So, because she asked, I started searching for pictures to illustrate what's happening in southern West Virginia.  And, because I'm a responsible "image borrower", I only looked for images that had creative commons license rights - and couldn't find any!  I found some amazing pictures, but couldn't "legally" use any of them.  So, instead, here's the link to a website full of pictures, and here's a map of WV so you can get some idea where these pictures were taken.  If you've ever flown into the Charleston or Huntington airports in WV, this is what you'll see.  Sad.

I wanted to write a blog. I found a template that I love! But didn't come up with an idea till the night of September 14, 2009. My goal now is to post a picture with comments every day. On the rare day that I don't take an original picture, I'll post one that I have gotten from somewhere else.
Enjoy!
