A man collects recyclable materials from floating garbage washed into Manila after Tropical Storm Nida dumped 12 inches of rain on the Philippines.
Notes:
- Title Credit Reference to “The Road“: “Cormac McCarthy’s tenth novel, The Road, is his most harrowing yet deeply personal work. Some unnamed catastrophe has scourged the world to a burnt-out cinder, inhabited by the last remnants of mankind and a very few surviving dogs and fungi. The sky is perpetually shrouded by dust and toxic particulates; the seasons are merely varied intensities of cold and dampness. Bands of cannibals roam the roads and inhabit what few dwellings remain intact in the woods.” (Quote Source: CormacMcCarthy.com. Find Book: Amazon.com. Find Movie Trailer: The Road)

GEESH, interesting photo to be sure, but can’t bring myself to hit ‘like’ on this one, pal…
Sickening. Soul deadening.
WLS…stunning, in the most horrific sense…
Exactly. Can’t shake the image.
Pass the Purell !
Laughing. A boatload.
overwhelming sad on every level.
All that and then some.
Oh. How absolutely gut-wrenching. Out of control.
So true. And it is gut wrenching.
I’m rushing right out to book my holiday to southeast Asia.
I bet.
Right!
I’m getting squeamish thinking of what is moving about under all that garbage… I hope he got a rebate for the recyclables.
Now, that, is looking at a glass 1/8 full and seeing light.
It’s all I can do to look at such images, though they abound throughout the world, these days. Important to view, for sure. Aloha.
All incredibly sad…
And…do our little part to reverse this course.
Heartbreaking – both what we are doing to our planet and the poverty so many endure that forces them to “dumpster dive” in this manner.
Yes Darlene. Distressing all the way around.
Que imagem impressionante!
It is Ana!
