The old Man of Hoy
The Old Man of Hoy - watercolour, 16 x 26 cm
This iconic rock stack stands below the towering cliffs on the west side of the island of Hoy, where it is exposed to the full force of winter storms from the Atlantic. The basalt rocks at its base give it some protection, but I wonder how long it will be before sea-level rise, and the effects of the weather topple this venerable old man!

But WHAT a painting, WHAT a view and WHAT and atmosphere.
Well worth the wait!!
That whole Climate Change is there as long as the earth is around.
The problem is more all those so called scientist fiddling around with computer models, like Mann, Furgeson and other maniacs, let's try to see things in perspective.

Here in The Netherlands we keep track on our coastline for centuries (1600 or so) ... and it doesn't increase much, only 1 mm. a century so far.
So Again I wouldn't hold my breath.
Same here, but then again in a Climate Change perspective, we're so briefly here, ... just a blib, ... but we've have such an huge self-importance feel for our thoughts that's almost narcistic.
