In Honor of Earth Day

[Malcolm Tibbetts]

"Rocky Road Ahead"

I thought this would be an appropriate posting for Earth Day.

Whether you believe that the earth’s warming is temporary or a real danger, it’s pretty hard to ignore the changes due to the “greenhouse effect†– “the rapid retreat of glaciers in Greenland, Alaska, the Himalayas, the Antarctic Peninsula, and on high tropical mountains; the thinning and disappearance of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean during summer; the melting of permafrost in Canada, Alaska, and Siberia; and the rise of sea level and an increase in extreme weather.†(Larry O'Hanlon for the Discovery Channel)

I love it. It's great to see environmentalism even here on AAW. I chose not to use any tropical woods for environmental reasons some time ago, and its good to know that i am not the only one that feels something needs to be done in this world out of responsibility.

Way to go Malcolm!

As usual, your work makes me smile. At least in part because of how your mind and heart seem to operate.
The melting of the polar ice caps does indeed create a "Rocky Road."
Thank you for asking us all to take a moment and consider the planet that provides the wood with which we play.

Wowwww! Exceeds my wildest expectations when I clicked the list of posts. Excellent concept, and as usual superbly rendered.
