At this moment in time..............so many things

have happened in a short space of time in my/martin's life which I cannot 'talk' about (this does NOT mean I am not wanting to say things) I really cannot. I will eventually when it is OK to do so. I am a 'fighter.'

D/a: I have some 'wiser' friends on here who have suggested I stop and I agree. Thank you to them. D/a COULD be a 'major' site for  for making a difference for 'future' generations BUT?????????

At the age of 67yrs old I realise that I know NOTHING................the ONLY thing I do KNOW is that 'artist's' throughout History have always NOT succumbed to 'political' pressure. Thank goodness. Without 'cubism/pointillism /etc.etc. One of the few artists a LOT of U.S people know...........was 'hounded' (Vincent Van Gogh)because he saw a 'fresh/free' beginning etc (these artists were villified) I can go back to Medieval art if you wish! Pope's wanted 'secret' pics. which WILL never see the light of day.............some artist said NO! They were imprisoned and their art is LOST forever in the Vatican! I know this because I know Art Historians who have seen them!

IF we now, do NOT try to STOP what is going on before our eyes............we are left 'wanting.'
It is up to us ALL to do and say what we feel or life becomes meaningless and so does your art.

Nature is dying............keep posting images because everything is going fast.  One day your grandmothers/grandfathers will be saying: "Oh yes I remember when these fields were filled with wildflowers!" Where have they gone.........we had WATER then!
I remember as a kid spotting 'wild elephants' and 'leopards' in the Jungles of Sri lanka (while we drove NW at night to Trincomalee)!
There were NO major roads/no lighting!
Although the 'wildlife experts' are working to STOP this........money keeps 'rolling' in!

Despite 'warnings' NOT to feed wild animals......Tourists come in droves (people in AC busses/hired cars drivers who know NOTHING say NOTHING)................stand with their backs to the signs while crocodiles rest by the banks! NO this is NOT OK. One tourist in a 'photo-op' is killed despite warnings................hello NO more crocodiles! THINK! THIS is un- acceptable. Get in a car...drive yourself!
Scared people are NOT welcome because you are destroying my country!
Leave garbage everywhere! NO!
These animals are WILD.............this is NOT Florida! I have visited the Everglades.................where are the animals............High rises/fenced in compounds! Money will never BUY you what I have seen!

Jenny with all the
