No new articles today, however, I thought I'd have a little fun and post some of my favorite pictures from the 39 day, 13,000 mile road trip I took this summer. Hope you like them:
This picture was taken in West Detroit...I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be Lucy from Peanuts.

An abandoned house in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward...8 years after Katrina
This is written on the side of the late Larry Gibson’s cabin on his property atop Kayford Mountain in Southern West Virginia. Larry and his family were the lone holdouts in a coal rich area that saw all of the land around become pray to or set for mountaintop removal. Today, it is a bizarre, yet beautiful oasis surrounded by a horrific testament to man’s capacity to defile nature for a profit. I would like to thank Elise Keaton and Paul Corbit Brown of the Keeper of the Mountains Foundation for allowing me to see the property belonging to the Gibson family and allow me to experience for myself the devastation wrought by mountaintop removal mining.
