Contraction


This picture of LI Sound, becalmed to the max, indirectly connects to the irony of an currently overpopulated planet losing population as seen by a NYTimes article describing how the slow motion disaster of declining fertility rates negatively impacts society. With this in mind, contraction of civilization, combined with global warming and other such maladies, as described in Crossing the Rubicon, point the way to a most disquieting future of our own making. 

 No pontification here but our grand children and their grand children will see a world vastly different from the one we see today. Hopefully it will be for the better but one never knows, do one.
