My photo from 2013.

Cotter Dam on the Cotter River west of Canberra. After the drought and fires of the previous decade, the dam wall was raised to store more water to future proof Canberra's water supply.

During construction it rained heavily for months and created cracks in the concrete that had to be repaired at great expense. This is the end result. It has a brutalism feel although not really architecture I guess.

Not my best photo, for some reason all my shots are not level although I do try. I can't pass them all off as special effects. 😢

Forest Protectors Arrested at Fairy Creek

Arrested at

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 16, 2023

"Three forest protectors were arrested on Tuesday protecting the old-growth forests west of Victoria, as Canada continues to target with police operatives protecting the interest of destructive industries. The police ops are 's C-IRG, the Community Response Group.

"Mourning the invasion of the squad who arrested the , who were his guests, Elder Bill Jones said, 'We are at the end times of our great forests.'

"Abolish C-IRG said, 'Due to the increasing amount of -led anti-resource extraction movements in British Columbia, the Community-Industry Response Group was born. C-IRG is unique to British Columbia. They are militarized, have no budget limit, and the officers get paid handsomely to force , , , and through unceded , without consent. This is just another extension of the ’s original task- to remove and separate people from the land and enforce . They do not keep us safe, they protect ."

Background: Back to Fairy Creek

"The last time the world was watching Fairy Creek, we witnessed the largest act of in . Well over 1,000 Indigenous and non-Indigenous forest defenders were arrested by the RCMP over months of tense standoffs in 2021 as sought to halt the logging of rare .

"The courts hammered that movement, with charges and bail conditions keeping many away, and the tussle in the trees went dormant for most of the last two years.

"Until now.

"A new blockade, led by and supported by non-Indigenous allies, has just been erected on a key bridge crossing an arterial logging road. The RCMP's specialized tactical team that responds to land defence actions is present and surveilling the camp. A raid could come any day, and having on the ground is of crucial importance to keep tabs on police and document the latest developments as land defenders seek to protect their unceded territories from old-growth logging."

The Amazon basin is home to more than 2,000 species of fish, many of them endemic and endangered. But a surge of dam construction is threatening their survival, by altering the river flows, habitats, and migration patterns. The dams also affect the livelihoods and cultures of the indigenous and local communities that depend on the fish. news.mongabay.com/2023/06/dam-

Che un giorno al posto del futuro
Mi sarei trovato un campo
Di presente vecchio già scaduto
Ho da telefonare a casa
E per non dire ancora una bugia
Taglio e li saluto"

The Are Missing Their

For billions of years, rivers connected continents to the . Then we came along.

By Erica Gies May 3, 2023

"In many places, the great culprit is the dam: a wall of concrete and stone bisecting a river, diverting its energy and water to human use. There are 58,000 'big dams'—50 feet high or taller—around the globe, with another 3,700 more planned, mostly in lower-income countries in Asia and South America.

"Many of the harms caused by dams are well-documented. They block fish passage and starve subsistence fishers; radically alter natural river regimes and aquatic creatures’ lifecycles; and flood forests, wetlands, villages, and historical sites. (They’re also less climate-friendly1 and reliable2 than is widely believed.) Now scientists are describing another impact that has received relatively little attention but appears to also be profound: Dams block -carrying river pulses into the ocean."
