Summer’s still about water… and July’s Friday Photo Contest is intended to inspire the protection of our waterways.

One of my favorite waterways: New York’s Hudson River; Photo: Francisco Collazo

From our friends at Wend:

“For July’s Friday Photo theme we want the kind of pictures that are going to inspire activism, and since it’s summer, what better way than photos from your favorite water hangouts that are probably being severely affected by pollution? But we don’t want to be total downers (remember we’re all about inspiring change) so we’re looking for all kinds of photos that represent our waterways, both positive and negative. That means anything from plastic polluted beaches to river cleanups.”

    Gotta love it. The good folks at Wend picked my Human Footprint photo for Friday’s July 10th winner. See it at http://www.wendmag.com/blog/

    Thanks for steering me in the right direction, Julie and if you happen to run across Anna at Wend, give her a big hug for me; my webcounter is spinning off the page!

    Cheers,
    Mike
