The brutal scars of industrial prowess upon our atmosphere (above Hay-on_Wye), therefore, all life. Photo by me.

Look up in a clear blue sky on any given day and you’ll most likely see at least one vapour trail, if not many. It depends on where you are in relation to global aviation flight corridors. From satellites,  they are often seen to scar up so badly it’s as if giant whips have been unleashed : The Whipped Peters of Planet Earth.

Towards the Symbiocene, Futureflo chart by me. Charting direction, death and hope, in context of life, abundant.

I hope it generates discussion, at least.

Buzzard Photo Art, by me.

We played the common land this evening,
dipped the bumps: the hawthorn pits,
while a buzzard observed our sport

When she had vanished, we strolled
far into the dark, hollow grove
recalling her quiet perceptions.
