I've always loved that photo. How generous of you to donate the use of it to this worthy cause!
Glad to hear that the river has been reopened. I'm sure it's only because of the work of many tree-hugging environmentalists. ;-) cheers, frank "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." -- Christopher Hitchens --- Original Message --- From: Mark C <[email protected]> Sent: July 10, 2012 7/10/12 To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> Subject: Rebirth of a River A couple of years ago, at the same time as the Gulf Oil Spill, there was a much smaller oil spill in Talmadge Creek in SW Michigan. Much smaller = 800,000 to 1,000,000 gallons of oil. Talmadge Creek is much much smaller than the Gulf of Mexico - you could practically spit across it, if you are a good spitter. The oil flowed from the creek into the Kalamazoo River and befouled a whole lot of it. The Kalamazoo River was finally reopened this summer. A commemorative poster has been put together and is being sold as a fund raiser for the not-for-profits involved in the oil cleanup. I donated use of one my photos for the poster - the same one that runs across the top of my blog. Chuck Lund, another local nature photographer (and acquaintance that I used to run into at art fairs) took the smaller insert photos.
