I agree, touristic places are not very nice to visit.

Excellent shot and well said!

I thought, it's a picture of planet B ,-)))

MASS TOURISM IS A PLAGUE, YES.
But I love to travel for knowing new countries and people, my choices are always something that can put me in contact with inhabitants and local life. Also historical places can be very interesting for the knowledge of the past.
Your picture is intriguing !

Some decades ago diferent people of different cultures could discover themselves mutually. Nowadays with tv and internet when you visit you are more a product than a source of knowledge…
But I know most people don’t care, they just enjoy the moment without second thoughts. Maybe they are the happy ones?
Only my humble opinion…

It's amazing that most of the damage has occurred in the last 200 years, as technology has improved and the pace of living has changed.

Started with industrial era but was still sustainable when we are born. In the last 50 years with the plastic era the real destruction started… junk industrial food production, desappearance of small shops engulfed by supermarkets, publicity systematically frustrating people and leading them to over consumption…
In 50 years we lost over 30% of wild animals species and humans keep going despite knowing they are running to Armageddon… but do politicians and economic consortiums want to give future a chance?

I8 AGREE WITH AL THE ABOVE !

I am still reading it.
And in my mind, it is possible that it will take a long time to read.
After the untimely death of my best friend, things have gone that way, slowly.

No obligation there… take your time.

I like it! Especially with the globe...who says that photos can't be blurry to look good? :-)
I know what you mean about traveling. Same here, well, within Germany and other European countries. My travel days to exotic destinations are over, too expensive, too much stress...and there's still much to be discovered in Europe and in my own country.

a shame ...

The photo fits in wonderfully.

On the one hand, it's good to get to know other places and their inhabitants in order to break down any prejudices, and curiosity is also a driving force.
I also think that we have a good place here in Germany with culture and nature.
But it's also true that you have to travel further and further out to get into the great outdoors.

…and when we get older the great outdoors become more and more difficult and out of reach… fortunately I have nature almost at my doorstep specially uphills and am still fit to hike and climb some cliffs…

O globo da foto tem muita luz junto ao Polo Norte. Cuidado com o degelo, que ainda nos vai sair caro!
