Toying with Forces


Today we had a really fun show on the topic of disasters. On the way home I took this photo in storm water drain.

A drain, but it used to be a stream. Anything can be fixed with an engineering solution. This is what we do when we view nature as a problem. This is what we do when we mistake our technological prowess for an ability to control nature. But we only dimly understand the consequences and slowly it dawns on us the forces we unleash.
