So Beautiful

17 Replies

So if you’re wondering why so many people in the US want to preserve our national heritage of beautiful open spaces and not have oil drilling or fracking allowed in these parks, take a look at some of the US Bureau of Land Managment photos. I plan to browse through their photo albums almost as a meditation. I am starting with these below from Bears Ears National Monument, Utah:

Such wonderful photos. It’s insane that such pristine wilderness is earmarked for fracking. It is such a dangerous process.

  Yes the photos are beautiful. This particular wilderness may not be earmarked for fracking, but just making the point that it is so important to preserve these open spaces. 🙂

    Fracking is an awful practice. I am very concerned about it too. The government has banned it in my area but beautiful areas in Australia are still under threat.

    Yes. It is so important to preserve our beautiful natural areas and work toward better sources of energy. I am really in awe of this natural beauty and grateful that we have these areas that are preserved for us here in the US. 🙂

Very important post, Deborah 🙂
We need to believe, that this black snake never will come through this amazing natural area. We can support this in many ways, also online.

    Even I live in another part of our world, I wish to preserve them too Deborah. Let us all work for this.

    Irene, I want to clarify that this area is not threatened right now but it represents to me part of the beautiful US natural sights that we want to preserve. ❤

    I do understand, what you mean Deborah and I find it important too to take care of all our beautiful and natural sights, as we have.
    Often these get destroyed for money, which I find very sad.
