Here is a photograph of the cement plant nestled deep within the Verde Valley in Arizona, I was up on the mountain in Jerome working and had to rest my camera on the boardwalk railing to get a steady shot, my zoom maxed out.
Why a photograph of a dull and dreary industrial looking complex in the midst of pale brownish red greenish landscape?
Void of any fantastic angles or pov's, no eye popping retina frying colors, lifeless, dead and Boring...Ugly...desolate.

That it is and more fellow jpg'r.

Stevesan, why you post such an unsightly, colorless, lifeless, dead, boring, ugly and desolate photograph,
.... why you so dumb?....
Never get hot or be published...

Its not the point fellow human beings and dwellers of the top layer of Mother Earth...

The Verde Valley which you see but a tiny part of, is much like it was after the flood, only this whole area was once underwater, (how else could one rationally explain sea shells and sea life like things being found on the TOP of the mountain in Jerome?)...
Oh,.. and the valley was rich with grasses and trees, game, life....green and fertile, healthy and sustaining...beautiful...

Then came these guys building railroads,bringing millions of cows in and out of the valley, making noise shooting stuff, killing....

Cows ate everything....what they couldnt get to, the mining and smelters poisoned.

When the mining was dying out, they were starting to know about the poisons in the air, much like nuclear fallout etc, cant really see it, ..cant hurt ....right?
Oh by the way, might not want to drink the tap water...

It began to look like all was not lost, it was never going to be the same, but the Valley might regain some amount of luster..

Then came along the cement gypsum plant, poisoned pretty much everything in a different way but much the same result...

If one stands on the top of the mountain above Jerome and look out over the valley, even from my pov, one can see the change in colors, green to dull green...life, less life....no gray, gray...

What is my point?....

hold on, got 942 characters left...

The inhabitants of the valley, knowingly affected by this, studies proved said theories, facts disputed...

Have repeatedly organized, rose up in peaceful fashion in the political arena, spoke their mind, presented their facts and said evidence, cancers, respitory issues etc , tried to get the plant shut down, tried to play the 'game' to the best of their abilities and continue to do so...

The plant is still there, doing its thing....

Much and many thanks to the politicians and government and their modus operendi...

Its money...we need this...supports jobs and life in the valley...

OK... so it kills life in the Verde Valley,...and it
...supports life in the Verde Valley....OK..

How does this happen?....

Government, politics....voting, money, special interests, lobbyists, money...

Just sayin.....
