Coasts spoiled

Sorry to show this images here but I think that we artists have something to say about it. Follow the link please.

There are too many virgin places that are silently disappearing given to mass tourism. Zanzibar holds one of the awfulness Italian resorts in the north of the island. Santa Monica beach in Boavista, Cabo Verde Is. is about to be destroyed by a huge resort made by the Spanish holding Melia. Es Trenc in Majorca, one of the last beaches still protected, will be occupied by a 7.000 people resort. And this are only some of the places that I've visited.

Don't apologise Juan, it needs to be seen! Sadly I posted a link to Chris Jordans compelling and thought provoking album elsewhere on BF and managed only three responses.

Thanks to all of you. It's little we can do but better than sit and watch.

Thanks Jim, I liked your site and the pieces shown. I've only done some bronze and Super Sculpey sculptures but never carved. I should try it sometime!

thank you Juan for share this with us...

I`m very angry about that...and share it on facebook....

the people must see and I hope they have a little from her brain,to dispose of their waste better than to throw into the nature

Thanks Juan. Difficult to convey in words how moving it is to see these incredible birds so deeply affected by man's casual and thoughtless wastefulness...
