    This months challenge will be "Challenges with a Cause" - Pick a cause and photograph it, could be anything, pollution for example. It should be fun to see how the imagery is different and the same globally.

    Thanks @Ohm

    Again, the rules are simple:
    • Should be be using some canon gear , this is a canon forum after all.
    • Shot with the assignment in mind, go out and shoot something new don't dig up something from the archives.
    • and most importantly have fun.

    Back before the 70s our sewerage was collected in tins from a outhouse, all the beaches were clean and the fishing was excellent, the Tasmanian government though it was a good idea for us to to have a flushing sewerage system and since then it all ends up in the local river. This was a lovely beach with regular family days with adults and children paddling and playing on the sand, now this. 6L5X0004[1].JPG

    Goodness me this is awful, is there no treatment plant to treat the sewage before it's pumped into the river Craig?

    They have a treatment plant but we live in a hilly state and with all the new houses and no new infastructure, there are are regular times when demand out strips capacity and the overflow go strait out into the Derwent river. After decades of such incidents there is a build up of pollution.

    ohm, we used to have great railway system here in Tasmania till some-one in political power decided buses were the way to go, a concerted effort is underway to re-establish the railway but once again some short sighted politican in power are the stumbling block.
