What lies Beneath ? ....?

 

High Above the Ground, in an Oncoming Summer, Purple Night Sky. Somewhere in the Urbanisations of ZURICH, Switzerland.
We must look down, further, than to what the eye can see.
Into THE WATER........ 

  
 


This Place does exist.  It is called : " Jules Undersea Lodge " inspired by The Jules Verne Books.
" Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea " is probably one of the most famous books, written by The French author, in 1870.
The above, is a Submarine Hotel, located in Key Largo, Florida, USA.


NOT, Switzerland, unfortunately.
I mean WHAT a place to write from !   :)

Look again...

  



And, now Look at....This....



Which could be virtually anywhere in the world ....Incidently, we have now moved from Salt Water, to, err....Fresh Water.
Namely to : ZURICH LAKE.



Every Year, about 90 TONS OF RUBBISH is pulled out of this Swiss Lake.

Every 2 Years Lake Zurich has a Full Clean-Up.
Unfortunately...they... do not have the...resources.....to do it more often, like in some other places, in SWITZERLAND.


90 TONS OF RUBBISH, like the Bicycle pictured above....
Is DUMPED by Swiss People.
Into
 one of...their.....errhm...
" Precious "  LAKES...??? !!! ??? !!!






A Staggeringly Grim Picture.

All this, From what is considered to be :
One of the Cleanest City`s in the World.
And.

One of the Cleanest Country`s in the World.
Switzerland.
Yes.
( Roll out the INCREDULOUS, but TRUE (?) Cliché....)


This AMOUNT of Human Made Rubbish, hidden away from the Naked Eye; well; mostly, as Zurich Lake does look very clean, both from a Distance, and Close-Up.
Gets to you....thinking....
That :

Any Nationality, Any Country.....whatever is said, shown, or hidden...
...Dumps Rubbish....



To many, the following is Rubbish ( albeit a totally other kind of ).
But, Perhaps The Entry from FINLAND, should have Won this Year`s Eurovision Song Contest ?
In this Surprisingly, Beautiful, and, Tragically.. True.. Song :
