 After heavy rains, trash, leaves and other debris collects in a certain part of Lake Junaluska.

I started to title this "making the chief cry" (and may still change it before voting starts), but I figure most of the site wouldn't remember that commercial from the 70s when the chief was paddling along a polluted waterway and started crying.

I remember the commercial and reference it all the time. It had a great impact on me (also backed up my good, solid, caring parents that reinforced the land respect)

I remember that commercial. :-)

Unfortunately, the lesson has not been learned by all yet - it's amazing what a handful of disrespectful and careless people can do. Every community has them, and collectively it adds up. An exasperating fight for sure. :-/



This reminds me of a challenge idea I had recently also - along the lines of the environment, scars, pollution, etc... I'll have to write it up here soon.

A wake up call, and yet we know about it and do nothing. Nicely done.

This is not an attractive picture for me, it is sad that this kind of garbage is just left around, it just doesn't make for a flattering subject.

Low scoring image as the subject matter is...well...terrible. I don't mind images that make a statement but this just doesn't work for me.
