Hi John
Trashing the country side is common in many countries, although I haven't seen it as bad in the UK and Australia.
A pity that some people don't give a ****. A good informative trio.
cheers
Ian

Hello John,
Three absolutely disgusting photos making a good but different contribution to TE. These very sad views are unfortunately not restricted to the Motherwell area but typical of most countries. It's beyond my understanding how normal, sane people can cause such damage to nature. Even worse, but less easily seen, is the dumping of poisonous waste from industries that is still going on in many places despite usually strict laws.
Some photos on TE cheer me up, but these made me rather sad.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello John,

Three excellent photographs that you collected on your walk. The details are crisp and the colours accurate.

Though the photographs are of high quality, their subject definitely isn't!

There really is no excuse for people to leave litter, like this. Care for the planet and sustainability are topics covered in all schools. Sadly, some people love to prove that they can break rules, just because they can, or to show their indifference to authority, in view of pals!

The results are plain to see but they cause threats to wildlife as well as polluting their own environment!

I am surprised that there is no action group in Motherwell to try to deal with this problem. In our area, besides the Council having clear-up days, there are voluntary groups which litter pick weekly. There are also posters about dropping litter, showing people's faces, with emphasis on the eyes, as if watching the miscreants!

If there is one thing that is sure to get me angry, it is seeing litter! Len says it is only a matter of time before I get punched as, if I see someone drop litter, I pick it up and return it to them!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hello John,
An original choice of subject for these photos and the three pictures show a sad side of humanity and one that is pretty hard to understand. Don't people who just throw away their junk wherever they please notice the ugliness of it? Are they never annoyed when they see a place full of trash, especially in the countryside? I fully understand your frustration when seeing these disgusting areas in a forest or near a river.

Hello John, three excellent very sharp pictures which deliver a strong message.

I do not understand how some people can do this and not see how ugly and dangerous it is.
It is sheer ignorance!,

Removing the wrecked car will mean professionals to see to it, costing an expense to the council. The other rubbish could be removed by volunteers, but at the end of the day, it shouldn’t need doing in the first place.

They have certainly stirred up feelings amongst TE members.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello John,
The car in the middle photo could still be an art piece but exhibited in the wrong place.
The other two are sad scenes as we also often encounter here in the neighbourhood.
Sometimes even near an empty waste container.
Instead of an enlarged version this should end up in the garbage bin, but photo-technically they are fine photos and it is good that you draw attention to them in this way.
Excellent presentation
Have a nice day, groet Rob
