Scientific evidence has shown that global warming and the continuing release of C02 into our atmosphere is drying up the watering holes in savannah Africa.
Do you want to tell them?
(If you believe diffenently, I have no problem with that in any way. If you would like to discuss it, you may note me. Please refrain from attacking my beliefs and scientific knowledge, when all I want is to raise awareness of our wildlife... )
A work like this doesn't simply do itself. From my stock alone, I can tell you went at great lengths to mask out the elephant's outline, make its hooves blend in with the sand, cast a realistic shadow to counteract the light's direction, and a perfectly tweaked colour cast to match the general atmosphere.
It's not often that I see so much attention to detail in photomanipulations on dA, and I can only imagine how much you toiled in integrating all the other stock resources into a seamless flow of spectacular art.
As an avid animal lover, I can also appreciate your point of view. I'm not exactly what you would call an environmentalist. At this point in time, I would not consider sacrificing my carbon-emitting car for public transport. Live in a densely populated city/island called Montreal, but drive against rush hour traffic off the island into the outskirts.
Total distance is about 40km, and on average it takes about 40 minutes to get there by car, versus 2 hours on public transit. This is time I am not being paid for, so the sad reality is I would much rather drive to work instead of relying on the time tables of public transit.
I know I am guilty of polluting the air with CO2 emissions in the process, but hopefully one day car makers will come out with an affordable model capable of siphoning energy from corn fuel, hydro or solar-powered electricity.
In the Great White North, I am not immediately concerned with global warming. In fact, it would seem Canada could benefit from it. But in so doing, it appears the Jet Stream in the Atlantic Ocean depends on the constant glacier in-flow from the Arctic Circle would be disrupted.
If the dynamics of the Atlantic Jet Stream disappear, it is my understanding that global cooling would occur, making Canada even colder than it is now. Colder than the -20-30C I would be used at this time of year.
Yet we've peaked at +8 Celsius in this last week. An extremely rare occurrence in Quebec when the month of February has a nasty habit of dumping one snowstorm after the next.
