Heart of the Country



This image shows a traditional English Meadow. There are two types in East Sussex, hay meadows which are popular nesting grounds for birds and field mice, and wild flower meadows which are rare in England and are usually managed grasslands, supporting rare plants, butterflies and other insects. 

Constant Pollution


This photo was taken on the journey from Toronto to Niagara Falls. The industrial region on the coast here is a major source of atmospheric pollutants, mostly due to the large concentration of people and economic activity in the Toronto-Niagara Region (TNR), which is the largest in Canada.

Tropical Calm


The water in this image is aquamarine green blue. This is because, despite water being colorless, large bodies of water like this ocean manifest water's inherent blue tinge from the depth of the water. The ocean here is relatively shallow, so the pale aquamarine color. The hue of the sky also adds to the perceived color of the sea.
