Today is #ColoradoRiverDay – On July 25th in 1921, Congress re-named the Grand River to the Colorado — that 1450-mile lifeline that supports 40 million people, most of America’s salad bowl, seven states, two countries, a $26 billion recreation economy and countless populations of wildlife. #chasingrivers #aerial #conservation I’m teaming with the @sonoraninstitute, @newbelgium, and Save the Colorado to celebrate Colorado River Day and the effort to #Restore the #ColoradoRiverDelta.

• This is what corn seed looks like when it is treated with the neonicotinoid pesticide Chlothianidin. Each color indicates a different concentration of the pesticide. Neonicotinoids have been getting a lot of scrutiny lately because they have been found to be very harmful to honeybees. For example, one of the purple corn seeds shown here has enough pesticide to kill 100,000 bees if they came in direct contact with it. The tricky part is, bees typically don’t come in direct contact with treated seed since they are planted directly underground. Instead, the pesticide penetrates the seed and becomes incorporated into all of the plant’s tissue. So bees come into contact with low doses over longer periods of time as they collect contaminated pollen. In the lab, low doses have been shown to kill honeybee larvae and affect their navigation abilities. However, it is harder to prove what is going on out in the field. On top of that, neonicotinoids were designed to replace older pesticides that were more harmful to humans and other vertebrates. So it turns into a complicated trade-off when it comes to regulating these chemicals.

• Photo by @haarbergphoto (Orsolya Haarberg) Apart from being in good shape, you need to be both patient and dedicated if you want to photograph high up in the #Sarek mountains in #Sweden. I spent almost a week in tent at the foot of Mt Vuoinestjåkkå (in rain) before I could climb the top and stay another couple of days up there to witness good light. Making good images was a challenge because clear weather was boring, rain was hopeless, and if there were only a few clouds around, the highest peaks (like the one I was standing on) surely drew them like a magnet… Shot for an upcoming @natgeo magazine story. @thephotosociety by natgeo http://ift.tt/1LxvyXC

• photo by @drewtrush // The Elk, or Wapiti. Antlers that have been growing all summer will soon be shed of their velvet revealing the white hardened bone beneath. As the bull’s rake their antlers to shed their velvet they pick up sap making them sticky. As a result dirt and debris collects on the antlers giving them their distinctive coloration, while the tips tend to stay white. To learn more about Elk in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, follow the link in my profile to read more at nationalgeographic.com To see more of the wildlife from the area, please follow along with me @drewtrush as I move through the landscape! @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #bigwonderfulwyoming #elk #wapiti by natgeo http://ift.tt/1ekkqyy

• Photo by @stephenwilkes: From 1964 to 1973 during the Vietnam War, the US dropped over 2 million tons of bombs on Laos. That is the equivalent of a planeload every 8 minutes for 9 years. This aerial view shows a man as he rides his bike through Phonsavanh, where craters still scar the landscape from the millions of bombs dropped during the secret war. National Geographic’s story, Life After the Bombs, for which I traveled to Laos, is online now.

• Detail of a photo by @TomasVH, currently on display at the Museum of Contemporary Photography (@MoCPChi) in #Chicago. It shows an elderly women carrying bundles down stairs on the outskirts of #Pyongyang, #NorthKorea. The North Korean Perspectives group exhibition is open now through October 4: http://ift.tt/1IkJgwf Summary — The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), or North Korea, has been called the Hermit Kingdom, as it is one of the most reclusive states in the world. North Korea’s citizens are not allowed to travel abroad, there is no Internet connection to the outside world, and the flow of information is almost completely controlled by the government. This exhibition will be divided into two main sections: one showing the government’s official version of North Korea, while the other offers the alternative view of the country. Imagery distributed through official channels, such as the country’s press agency KCNA, which is based in Japan, and those photographed by tourists on state-controlled tours will offer an official view. These official images will be juxtaposed with a non-controlled stream of images coming out of the country: photographs produced by international photojournalists from within the nation, and international artists using photography and video to directly address North Korea. — More info: http://ift.tt/1HQBODM @thephotosociety @VIIPhoto #MoCP by natgeo http://ift.tt/1MMdwy2

• “I graduated college early because I was eager to get into the real world, but the job search is tougher than I imagined. I think people are afraid to hire me because I’m young. I’ve probably applied to over two hundred jobs. I’ve found that for every ten applications, I get one call back. And for every five call backs, I get one in-person interview. I’ve had seven of those so far.” “Do you wish you hadn’t graduated early?” “I try not to think about it.

• photo by @randyolson | words by @neilshea13 — Rain fell in the afternoon, turning the earth into slime and the water into oxblood. We took the boat upriver and later, returning, came upon this puzzle: on the steep shore ahead a woman shouted to a naked man who stood in the river gripping the horn of a terrified cow. Only the cow’s head broke water. Its eyes rolled, nostrils flared, it moaned and moaned. The river did this—you were always sliding from one story into the next, swift through the country’s unfinished business. Rarely did you know why something started or how it turned out. The man was trying to haul the white beast ashore. As it happened, he was just a good Samaritan. He’d been strolling past on his way to a party, his hair richly shaped with butter and clay. He heard the woman shouting, and so came over to look. Now he was soaked, and the cow was mad. Every time he caught the dumb beast it lunged away and swam out toward deep water where crocodiles waited. Anyone might have been angry, but river people are also cattle people, and later the man said this: Imagine how it looked to the cow. No earth beneath your hooves, no answer from your herd, the sky a mean gray gash. Every breath drowns you a little more and you have no words for the terror down below. Well. Eventually he caught the cow and we jumped down and together dragged it out. I thought the animal would die right then but it didn’t. The woman shook our hands in thanks and then went over to the shuddering creature. She laid her palm on its head, pulled its damp hair through her fingers. You idiot, she said. We are so far from home. For the last six years, Randy Olson and I have been documenting culture, change, and conflict in the watershed that connects southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya. In the August issue of @natgeo magazine we’ll publish the latest in our series, #NGwatershedstories. Join us at @randyolson and @neilshea13 as we follow water through the desert. #2009 #africa #ethiopia #omoriver #kara #hamar #rivers #cow #water #animals @geneticislands #documentary #everydayafrica #everydayeverywhere #journalism #instaessay #natgeo @thephotosociety by natgeo http://ift.tt/1fsbBUo

• The gangs Barrio 18 and Mara Salvatrucha fight each other for control of territory so that they can expand their extortion rackets, trade in drugs and engage in other forms of organized crime. But gang members also murder their rivals simply to raise their status within their own gang, which helps perpetuate the conflict. In this photograph by Patrick Tombola (@ptombola), graves are found behind a house used by gang members in Lourdes, a district close to San Salvador, on June 1, 2015.
