Clarity Of The Water
Personal memory by Andre Molina
1985 • Cloud Forest, Ecuador
“I remember the clarity that the water used to have, especially the streams and rivers where people swam. By just looking you can see the difference in water quality from then and now. Even the small of the land that was close to this water was different. Along with the water quality it is also important to note the very small amount of lady bugs today. 15 years ago you would find them in places close to here and even in the small parks of the cities.”
