A little slice of heaven lost

This section of the Kalamazoo River is now slicked in oil http://afardege.deviantart.com/gallery/#/deiios
Please people we need to end out addiction to oil. Stop buying trucks/SUVs if you don't really need them. Bike to work if you can. Personally I am trying to find job that is in the city I live in to do my part.

This photo was taken in the Ft. Custer Rec Area. After passing through this area on my mountain bike I went back with my 4x5 view camera to try to capture the beauty I saw.
