Mustang Sally
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 16 June 2010 in Transportation.
A close in shot of a mustang I saw recently, m=not going to rant about the oil spill or environment, will just say its good to slowly see changes happening such as less big gas guzzling cars on the road, and throw in another quote
This is a beautiful planet and not at all fragile. Earth can withstand significant volcanic eruptions, tectonic cataclysms, and ice ages. But this canny, intelligent, prolific, and extremely self-centered human creature had proven himself capable of more destruction of life than Mother Nature herself.... We've got to be stopped. ~Michael L. Fischer, Harper's, July 1990
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it

That Mustang car sure became a hero for the auto industry, JJ....er, for Ford. I had just started college in the 60s when it first came on the scene and fell in love with it. It has been here in one form or another ever since. i like the crop of the famous icon.

Re your quote: we have to stop ourselves or we will bring about our own downfall. The planet will recover but we will be gone, destroyed by greed. In a sense I think it is appropriate that if this vile oil spill had to happen it should be in the waters of the country that is the largest consumer of the world's resources. Perhaps it can act as a positive wake up call to a realisation that we are living an unsustainable life style. There was a clip on the news about the companies involved in extracting oil in the Gulf. They were all practising the same lackadaisical attitude to safety in the pursuit of profit, BP just got unlucky. It should be remembered also that it is the world's, and in particular the US's insatiable demand for cheap energy and shareholder profits that drives this thoughtless/irresponsible/criminal exploitation of the planet. Government control and oversight has a role to play here and it is and has been conspicuously lacking not just in the Gulf but wherever oil (and probably a whole range of other raw materials) is being extracted.

@grouser: Thanks for the visit and I agree with what your saying, BP may be the one at fault in this case, but with our greed for oil all companies are taking unprecedented risks.
Its up to us all as individuals to do what we can to save the planet nd reduce our reliance of fossil fuels that the collection of put the planet at such risk
