A lazy moment in the life of a polar bear at at the Oregon Zoo. I am going to Churchill next year to see these beautiful animals out on the tundra. There has been a 13% decrease in the Polar bears in that area due to global warming. There is only a short time during the year for viewing these bears, as once the ice solidifies, they migrate in search of food. During the several month hibernation, they have had no food. They replenish their bodies off of seals and other sea going mammals. The polar bears are considered the most dangerous of all bears. While viewing them in their natural habitat, you never leave the gigantic dune buggies. For several days and nights, you sleep, eat and view the wildlife from the dune buggies and from the viewing decks. The bears are considered to be too dangerous to allow people to step down on the tundra (other than the scientists).

The King Vulture The King Vulture, is a large Central and South American bird in the New World vulture family Cathartidae. This vulture lives predominantly in tropical lowland forests stretching from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. The adult King Vulture is the most strikingly colored of the New World Vultures. King Vultures have lived up to 30 years in captivity, though their lifespan in the wild is unknown. This vulture uses urohydrosis, defecating on its legs, in order to lower its body temperature. Despite its bill and large size, it is relatively unaggressive at a kill and will normally back down rather than fight.The King Vulture lacks a voice box, though it can make low croaking noises and wheezing sounds.Its only natural predators are snakes, which will prey upon the vulture’s eggs and young, and large cats such as jaguars, which may surprise and kill an adult vulture at a carcass. The King Vulture feeds solely on carrion and, unlike some New World Vultures, is not known to kill sick or dying animals for food.It often eats stranded fish along river banks, but does not come to village refuse dumps for food.Though it has keen eyesight which can help it locate food. There is evidence that suggests a decline in population, though it is not significant enough to cause it to be listed.This decline is due primarily to habitat destruction and poaching.

This was taken at the Brickworks Factory in Toronto, Canada. This is an old abandon factory that use to product bricks back in the 50’s and 60’s in Toronto. It is boarded up now but if one is brave they can trespass and crawl in (but don’t tell anyone). Captured with the Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200mm

Last month Lloyds TSB bank (“A Thoroughbread Amongst Banks” as their advertising campaign used to boast…) announced that 2008 profits fell by 80% to £807m, while its new acquisition – HBOS – announced a pre-tax loss of £10.8bn… As I walked past their local (Stony Stratford, UK) branch yesterday, this rather dilapidated night safe deposit box (are these still in use?) seemed like a sad reflection of earlier, more glorious, days of the bank!

...when you’re lookin to the left, it’ll get’cha from the right. signs worry me. when municipalities and governments spend a lot of money posting signs that sate the obvious, this tells me we’re on a decline as a species. I noticed this many years ago when I saw a sign on the opposite side of the highway saying ‘Wrong Way’. First of all, how the hell do you know that I’m going the wrong way? and secondly, If you’re driving the wrong way on a highway & the oncoming traffic isn’t enough of an indication for you that you may have made a mistake at your last merge, you need to have your license taken away from you and enroll in a course in common sense. As well, this sign was clearly visible from my side of the highway which might instill doubt in anyone who could read it. / In this sign’s case, if you’re going to walk out into traffic without looking out for a truck that might turn you into pancake, you’re probably not the sort of person to heed signs either. we’re on our way out as a species. the signs are everywhere. featured on the redbubble homepage June 23 2009 (June 24 in Australia and DKnottsy 37th on Pluto)

Part of my 20 images that changed my portfolio set. Across all of the UK the small independant fishing industry is in terminal decline due to a lack of support from the politicians and large super-sized retailers bleeding them to death. This is the tiny harbour-port at Lindisfarne on Holy Island, Northumberland on May 30th 2009. Nikon D40X Please View Large

The Siberian Eagle Owl prefers mountainous forest, semi-desert and rocky slopes. Being the biggest owl in the world it will take large birds, a variety of small and medium mammals, rabbits and hares, roe deer fawns, young foxes, hedgehogs, frogs, newts, crabs and farmyard cats. Whereas most diurnal birds rely on speed of impact to kill their prey, the Siberian Eagle Owl uses its 250 pounds per square inch crushing power (in each foot!) to obtain its meal. The Siberian Eagle Owl will have between one and three offspring, with each owlet taking twelve weeks to go from egg to fully grown owl. / Status: Widespread but scarce everywhere, locally endangered. / “SourceLibertys” /

An observation from many years ago. Well 2002 isn’t really too far gone, but it seems like lifetimes to me. Found in the doorway of a Dairy Queen this edit covers so many bases. Taken from a liability covering sign ‘watch your step, decline’, it was edited in camera (the only way I do it) with my K1000. Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. 2002. and now, every time I see the title I get Van Halen stuck in my head.
