There is so much waste…
Who sometimes walking in a forest, or along a river or a lake, never found his way on bicycle cuts, burned vehicles, tires and other industrial varied wastes ? This phenomenon doesn’t concern a particular region, it is found almost everywhere in every country, and I end up believing that if one place is a little less dirt, it is only thanks to the local authorities or associations which are a slightly more effective to clean this pollution traces. I could almost get used to it eventually if I was not disgusted whenever I see these examples of uncivil and irresponsible. : (
I guess we, all of us, may do better than that, right?
Best examples :
A cart in the bottom lake, Bois de Boulogne (Paris, France)
A bike in the same lake, Bois de Boulogne (Paris).
A framework of a car, half-burned half-rusted, which probably lies here since several years in the forest of Rambouillet …
ATV abandoned on the river Meuse in the Ardennes (north of France)…
An image too classic on the bank of a river: a plastic bottle (pictured here this winter on the river Meuse in the Ardennes).
In the same subject, a rusted cans abandoned on a beach in the south of France.
And the last, that you will found in every “civilized country” : Waste and computer cathode ray tubes that will pollute the surrounding soil with heavy metals, PVC plastics and other flame retardants, all products as toxic as carcinogenic (lead, mercury, barium, beryllium, cadmium …), all seasoned with some old windshields and various rubble on the edge of a forest in the Seine et Marne. And as often these dumps are located in the vicinity of cultures (here it was a wheat fields located a few tens of meters). Bon appetit !
Photo of the Day: Trees in bloom in Green Park
Do you plan to visit London? I advise you to make a small detour for its parks and gardens *, among them that Hyde Park and its Serpentine River, Kensington Gardens, St James Park or Green Park where I was walking last Tuesday. Lanes ailes with tulips or trees in blossom, green and flowering lawns that remind such an nice English countryside and on which strolled freely geese, ducks or squirrels. A very pleasant stroll in these pieces of urban nature. 
Green Park, London, England
* nb: I have not named Regent’s Park and its famous London Zoo, as I didn’t had time to go there during my last journey in London (and also bringing back pictures of this place).
