The image clearly illustrates planet earth as a simmering cauldron and is a poignant symbol of the state of the world’s environment. On the right
is a Poplar tree, representing oxygen, and on the left is a vehicle on fire, burning oil - man’s dirtiest and most used and abused fossil fuel - an icon of the destruction of planet earth. The black background pleats are clearly the north face of Ayers Rock, Australia's spiritual desert symbol that has somehow provided food and water for the past 10,000 years or so. The picture as a whole is the sun setting on the world’s final day.
It’s amazing what happens when you’re not looking, isn’t it?
PS. The photo reminded me of the Cree Indian prophecy that needs to be read and remembered every now and then:-
Only when the last tree has been cut down;
Only when the last river has been poisoned;
Only when the last fish has been caught;
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.
