Holiday in the climate emergency.
No that’s not AI or edited, it is a photo I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France.
Ash is raining from the sky.
What future will this boy grow up in?
It is in our hands, but time is running out.
@rahmstorf image description:
A photo of a beach, with some beachgoers in the background and a small boy wearing arm floats in the foreground. Over at a distance a gigantic cloud of wildfire smoke, dark-grey and yellow, is filling the sky. The photo is harrowing, the whole scene has a sickly, sinister yellow tinge caused by the smoke interacting with the sun.
@rysiek @rahmstorf Thanks for taking the time to provide this description. Pr. Rahmstorf, could you add it to your picture? #Alttext include people relying on screen reader in the conversation.
@rahmstorf Bildbeschreibung: ein kleines Kind mit blauem T-Shirt sitzt an einem Strand mit Weltuntergangsstimmung. Rechts ist das Meer. Im Hintergrund ist eine riesige Aschewolke zu sehen. Das gesamte Bild ist orange-rötlich durch die Asche in der Luft.
Es sind mehr Menschen in der Ferne am Strand zu sehen, sowie ein leerer Wachsitz.
(das Bild ist echt gut! Sehr eindrucksvoll.)
@rahmstorf Or in English, as the original post was:
A young child in a blue shirt sits in the sand on a beach in a kind of end-of-the-world vibe photo. To the right is the ocean. In the background, a large ash cloud. The entire image is orange-red due to the particles in the air.
More people are walking around in the background. There is also an empty watch tower.
