This picture of a single cigarette butt in the middle of a landscaped part of a street median caught my eye last weekend. I was in Kansas City with a friend, and we were people watching when I looked down and noticed something almost blended in with the dead foliage around it. The cigarette butt is a classic example of human debris in a natural environment. It also just seemed to compliment the dying grass and plants around it, maybe even a symbol of human's footprint on the earth in cities especially.
great observation Jason.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it does blend in very well. I had to look closely to even notice it laying there, in the grass. The thing is, we see this kind of stuff so often, that a lot of the time we don't notice it anymore.
ReplyDeleteVery accurate! Isn't it amazing how careless people are? I live far enouh out in the country for it to be called the country and I drive pass the remains of people's carelessness everyday.
ReplyDeleteYou know, what's sad is that most people wouldn't notice a cigarette on the ground anymore since it happens so often. And it is sad that it does blend in with the dying nature around it. Great observation!
