#quote #courage #NaturePhotography

An autumnal view of a lake in late afternoon sunlight with changing colors of the leaves on the trees and bushes. A tree branch near the camera with brown leaves frames the right side of the view and a partial view of a bush with red and green leaves is on the left with green reeds in the center with a patch of green algae hugging the shoreline in the foreground. A blue sky with a few fluffy with clouds is above the tree line in the sun along the shore in the distance where a pier extends onto the lake.

"We have power... Our power isn’t in a political system, or a religious system, or in an economic system, or in a military system; these are authoritarian systems... they have power... but it’s not reality. The power of our intelligence, individually or collectively IS the power; this is the power that any industrial ruling class truly fears: clear coherent human beings." ~ John Trudell

#quote #power #plants
