Seascapes, Third Place. Curves. “A photograph captured at the end of a summer’s day on the Isle of Harris, Scotland. The light was fading and a long exposure time of two minutes was used to smooth the ocean and clouds, which seemed to complement each other perfectly.”

#FotoVorschlag: Klar Schiff // Shipshape

Wenn das auch mal für die Strände gelten würde, nicht nur für die #Schiffe und #Boote. Aber dass alles mit Plastik zugemüllt ist, ist irgendwie ein Naturgesetz, dem man halt beikommt, indem man jeden Morgen mit Traktoren die Strände für die Touris glatt zieht. (Das war zumindest 2016 mein Eindruck, vielleicht ist das jetzt viel besser?) Der ganze Müll stammt natürlich nicht nur aus Malaysia, sondern wird vom #Meer an die Küsten geschwemmt.
Na ja, aber heute ist das Thema ja "Klar Schiff", da soll der #Strand auf dem Foto natürlich einigermaßen sauber aussehen.

If only the beaches were as shipshape as the #boats and #ships. But beaches strewn with plastic seem like some cruel law of nature that's "managed" by sending tractors to smooth them over at dawn for the tourists. (At least this was my impression in 2016. Maybe it's a lot better now?) Of course, not all the litter originates from Malaysia. Much of it washes ashore from the #ocean.
But today it's all about "shipshape", so this #beach, from this perspective, is mostly litter-free.

Fun day at the beach. #beach #fun

It's funny that people are concerned about being exposed to a naked body on the Internet, but they're not concerned about the ramifications of being exposed to this onslaught of commercialism from an early age and its impact on the value systems of children.
