Description:
This local garden is supposed to be a place where people can walk around and enjoy the lush and beauty of our environment. However, when my friend and I went after a few years of not going, we saw more things dead than alive. There were trees that have fallen down, dead flowers on trees, we saw the color gray more than green. I took this candid photo of my friend, looking around at the environment deteriorating around her, and I thought the look on her face was really powerful as it encapsulated the "phenomena" of our world crumbling beneath our feet. Climate change is such a prevalent issue that more people need to be aware of, and I think the phenomena of it really struck my friend when she noticed all the dead surrounding her.
