MONDAY MONOLOGUE - IN SHORT, HOMELAND SECURITY'S CONTINUING VULNERABILITIES TO NATURE'S WAY...

When will they get it right?

A unique Casein print (20" x 27"), printed from a glass plate - inspired by Hokusai's print of the Great Wave (1831)


Earthquakes and tsunami are a humbling and horrible reminder that latent forces are always imperceptibly building beneath us -  that it is nature's way of renewal over which we have no control.  (Japan is now 8ft closer to California).  Nuclear Power is mankind's answer to a greener renewal, and it should be within our power to avert a collision between the two events.   There are said to be 104 power plants soon to be going on line (23 of which have been built) in the United States.  Is Homeland Security doing enough to prevent building plants in someone's backyard,  I wonder.    But, first, Japan To The Rescue!


Below is thought to be a print by Hokusai, (b. in 1760 - pages from a note book) perhaps alluding to another catastrophic earthquake, of which Japan has suffered many.

  2. I found the print so thought-provoking that I've used it on my blog today, giving you credit, of course. I hope you like my treatment.
