WILD

This breath-taking slide show of images taken by astronaut Sunita Williams shows the fragility of our planet earth.  It illustrates, without a doubt, how the human footprint is over-taking the wild and nature places.  The updated images of earth at night are an urgent and visual documentation of the need to protect and sustain wilderness.  The epicenters of human life (big cities) are large, compact areas of light, and few large tracts of land are void of light, electricity and human impact.  Today, sandwiched in between Earth Day and Mother’s Day, let’s all promise to celebrate and be kind to our Mother, the Earth.
