[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Just a small testimony from my travel in Egypt. A pollution of the Nile has arrived to an indefensible level, watched between the legs of this Nile's egret!

Una piccola testimonianza dal mio viaggio in Egitto. L'inquinamento del Nilo è arrivato ad un livello insostenibile,guardate tra le zampe di questo airone del Nilo.....

Ciao Luciano. Prima di andare a nanna non potevo non soffermarmi su questo pennuto ripreso molto bene e circondato da una luce che hai gestito alla grande...e da altro purtroppo.

Hi Luciano,

The Egret is beautiful. The people who left the debris are not. This is not unique to Egypt - unfortunately this is a scene found in many parts of the world. It is a shame what man is doing to his environment. I hope, that in spite of this, you have enjoyed your trip to Egypt. I have wanted to go there for a long time but it has been scratched from my list because of reports from friends of filth and sickness.

I have heard it said that the next war will be fought over water. Pollution and water is something we all have to watch for. And seeing nature interact with the water in many ways is thought provoking. And you have this sense of adding a perspective to nature which most do not see. Well let me correct that by saying many see but some do not understand. There is a difference between philosophy and tiger beat. There is also aware of are a connection between the loss of the appetite of the period those that can see the two can see the one. It is then.

planète terre est pollué de cette façon-là,

So you have been to Egypt!
Yes it is sad to see what we do to to our environment and the problems of pollution are enormous1
Nice capture of this Little Egret foraging among the plastic debris. Nice POV and contrast against the busy BG.

Hy Luciano
Very sad picture, but more and more often we can see this imagines! There are few people that are respecting the environment, I mean, common people.
Well done!
Maybe we can initiate a thema with environmental problems, but I don't know what we can resolve with this...
Regards

Hello Luciano,

Nice shot of this Egret. Nice details and sharpness.The details are lovely, nice composition and a good POV, this will be a very good post to inspire change and to preserve and conserve nature and it's resources. It is really sad to see such instances. People should learn to respect nature and the environment around them. This is a very good post Luciano. TFS.

Hi Luciano,
yes, the bird is so beautiful but the water is very much different.
Well shown surrounding in sharpness.
i think it is happening in most country in Asia too.

Oh Luciano, niente farfalle in Egitto?
l'airone è bello e ben ripreso, la roba intorno un po' meno, sembra quasi di stare in Italia:(
Bravo, ciao Silvio

Hi Luciano. A beautiful looking bird with its white feathers . Unfortunaltly it has a lot of rubbish let hope it leaves the plastic well alone. Why do people do it. You have taken the bird with good detail . well done TFS,
Nick..

Ciao Luciano,
e tu vai fino in Egitto per fotografare queste porcherie, allora la tua è una provocazione o sei pagato dai "servizi" per screditare ... lungo le rive del Po ti faresti una fortuna a raccogliere plastiche varie ...., no!? ora ho capito .. vai in vacanza all'estero perchè in questi luoghi hai quelle rare occasioni di fotografare gli uccelli relativamente vicini, in questo caso hai ottenuto un'eccellente definizione della Garzetta che mi sembra imbalsamata o forse è in fase digestiva delle plastiche ..
Bentornato e .... alle prossime.
Ciao Maurizio

Passe une bonne nuit
