 This was a photo I shot while I was driving to a friends house - I am just an amateur - but i was trying to show the natural (i.e. not staged) occurances of degridation to our society - I would like to think there is still hope for us - however you start to wonder when people do this to our amazing landscape!

I'm sorry. I don't see any hope here. A smelly, old, discarded tire with moss on it, some wet, cold rocks, and a bird full of dispair looking for its next meal of floating garbage. I just don't see it. But, that could be me.

Hope floates? Yes, I suppose it does, but I'm not sure what that has to do with a mossy abandoned tire, a lone seagull and a rock strewn shore. I'm sure this sounds negative, but according to the rules, "While voting, users are asked to keep in highest consideration the topic of the challenge and base their rating accordingly. "
