2008 is a year when I doubled the number of pictures published in the gallery of Photo-Paysage.com & Landscape-Photo.net, and I hope to share with you in 2009 many more photographs of nature and landscapes.
2008 was also a year of change for all of us. First the bursting of the financial bubble, and the hard fall of the economy that succeeded it. An economic crisis that never ends, and many people continue and will continue to suffer its consequences! This can only be a source of great concern for all of us. But a crisis can also be an unexpected opportunity to improve a flawed economic system, a system void any sense of humanity. This year was also quite a change in the election of Barack Obama, a so great symbol… American election can also be a source of hope when it comes to fight in 2009 against another crisis : the ecological crisis.
Rightly, many predict that 2009 will be a pivotal year in order to protect our environment and respond effectively to climate change: at the end of the year in Copenhagen the world will decide -or not- to acquire the necessary resources to the fight against global warming. Therefore hope that these political leaders will make the right choice ! Our future will depend on this !
Until then, I wish everyone a happy new year 2009!
