A Touch of Everything

Visitors exploring Cassis

On a partly cloudy day, photography friend Faty and I visited Cassis. Things were easier in the past – looking forward to the summer, the sunshine, the beaches, not having to think about UV radiation, food and drink. It’s different today – when you have to think about everything, the Heat & UV Index, the food you eat and the water you drink 😉

If you choose to travel by train, and not by plane for its air pollution, the prices of plane tickets go down and those of train tickets go up. If you live and vote as responsibly as you can, you will meet plenty of others who think climate change is natural or exaggerated. 🙂 Extremes.

Obviously, the climate crisis is on its path of destroying much of the earth and oceans that will make life a challenge in many places, it already is in several parts of the world. Progress in humanity’s collective consciousness would be the wishful solution. All those who have that awareness today are the forerunners in action. Act we need 🙂
