Life On the Raft is from an environmental series called Footprints that tackles major ecological issues using a conceptual style. This photograph in particular takes a look at lake pollution due to rising temperatures and pollution. The combination of global warming and the way we are polluting our waters with farm field run-off, outdated septic systems and other sources of phosphates has us scrambling to save these dying lakes. Life On the Raft is meant to bring a better understanding and concern for the effects of human activity on our delicate fresh water ecosystems.
