Concrete Landscape 4

As I post this image, shot while at the Honolulu airport, I can hear a bulldozer clearing the rainforest a quarter of a mile away, making room for more houses. More an more lots are being totally cleared of ohia forest and being ripped and rolled from edge to edge right up to the property line. The forested areas here on the Island of Hawaii are being eaten up an acre at a time. I'll post some images in the next few days.

This "urban" landscape is probably the most familiar to the majority of people now days. We get our glimpses of nature on line, or at the magazine rack at Borders, or growing in a neglected planter box in a parking lot
