Nuclear? - No Thanks!

It isn't often one sees an elephant in the city at the best of times, thus I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to photograph this well behaved example which stood quietly in Queens Garden today. Part of a public awareness campaign organised by the Friends of the Earth in partnership with The Wilderness Society, to raise public awareness of the nuclear debate that of late has been touted by our politicians as a means of managing global warming and climate change.

I have to say, I wholeheartedly agree, "No Thanks!" One only has to look at the ongoing horrors as a result of Chernobyl. Can we really afford to take that risk? Let alone the issues around the disposal of spent uranium and its potential for conversion into weapons grade material.
