Viscous Rain

[pameladlloyd]

Today's National Geographic Picture is a closeup of vividly-colored acid raindrops. An example of beauty, however ephemeral, that is harmful.

No way to show you the image here, short of copying it and it's under copyright, so I linked. But, the link will only show this image today and anyone clicking it later will see something else. I still wanted to share to the extent I could.

Thanks for the link! You can make it a wallpaper and everything.

Definitely beautiful...but I wouldn't want to stand under that stormcloud.

Yes. Very much so.

Whoa... sobering.

Yes. But, I can remember when acid rain was in the news a lot. It's my understanding that it's not nearly the problem, at least in this part of the world, that it used to be. I like thinking that, when we recognize a problem, we can fix it. At least some of the time.

Looks like this is at least a demi-permanent link: http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-of-the-day/raindrops-sisson.html

Thank you. I knew there probably was one, but I (was lazy/in a hurry to get to something else) didn't want to take the time to find it.
