Description
Four elements to the existence of life on our planet
The cold and wet water
The hot and dry sun
The air that surrounds us all
The earth that absorbers it all

The fifth element is the one that unbalance this equation.
The fifth element is us, the righteous humans
In the center of everything, playing god with this planet
Changing nature to fit our way of living

The sun is hotter and the water is rising
The air is polluted and the earth is dying
But we are god and we are right
We rather be blind then give up a fight

And this is why we go to wars
Coexisting seems to be the hardest thing
When we all are the most important
And everything else must change

The same way we put ourselves above others
We put ourselves above this planet, above life
The elements of life are what brought us all here
But the fifth element may take it all away. Us


****

A point to think about. Maybe to acknowledge our role in these elements. Maybe to simply learn how to enjoy this nature in a more passive way, rather than manipulate it.
I would like my children, and my children's children to be able to still take photos like that.

I don't really like the way the sun came out. Still, it's a great shot.

i completely agree with your comment. the world's changing so much. and all these beautiful, natural places are decreasing so much.
there's nothing like that where i live. just tall stony buildings and bright grey-white skies without a differentiation between clouds and the sun. which is probably why i want to travel the world!
thank you so much for sharing this amazing part of the world with me!

Tomoroxs1012 [2008-09-20 23:34:40 +0000 UTC]

beautiful shot!! I also love the poem in the artist's comments
I never really thought of people being a fifth element,
dominating the other's instead of trying to co-exist.
It got me thinking a little~~
luv it~!

This is my favorite of any of your pics I can recall. If I ever use your pics (not photo manipulation, just reference), would that be ok with you? I mean, since these are photos (you didn't make the pictures up X] ) you don't have any copyright except the actual photo and any edit of it right?

Full credited, I generally allow it. No editing whatsoever is allowed
