Mexican Gulf Oil

May 3rd, 2010 | Posted in: photography

We have seen before that environmental catastrophes can provide images which are dreary, striking but also amazing. The same thing is happening now in the gulf of Mexico, where oil is ruining both the ecosystem and the local economy on an unprecedented scale. Let these images remind us to keep lower our dependency on oil and search frantically for alternative energy sources.

These images where take from the Boston Globe’s ‘The Big Picture‘, which contains a lot more striking images.
