My entry for the photocollagecontest from @marcovanhassel

People speak of nature when there is a situation that is not or hardly influenced by human action. Source: Wikipedia.

Can I then call these photographs nature? Is this collage a collage that fits well with the subject, and even better, how much real nature do we have?

Much of our nature is nowadays taken over by culture. Buildings, people, and our nature disappears. Tropical rainforests are disappearing. Deforestation is in full swing. When does it stop? When are we people aware of the fact that we can not do without real nature. Not the scattered little bushes ... but real nature. Wilderness!

What has been done there for thousands, millions of years, to become as it is. Untouched, wild, serene, wild, calm ... but always free and always beautiful. That is wiped out by us, people, with a big thunder.

And if you think that deforestation only takes place in the Tropical Rainforests, then think again! Deforestation takes place even in the small Netherlands. Over 6000 hectares of forest have disappeared in the past 5 years. Various factors are responsible for this ... but it is always due to people, in the 'advantage' of people.

Only in my view does that people forget that :

we need nature to live.

So please ...

Care for Nature ... We have no other place to live!
