If you worked in that field, would you allow me to mention the
environmental project of a Facebook friend of mine? His name is Enrique
Lescure, and he founded the Earth Organization for Sustainability. If
you want and have the time, check out the EOS, they are on FB but also
have their own website. Tell me what you think about them.

Very nice!
After all these changes on the Earth, I'm expecting to see some insects.

This is the final version. Assuming that all mega-fauna, i.e. larger 
than a dog, has gone extinct.

Indeed. Scenes often have a background (other than /background/) ;-)

They certainly are there. A bit too tiny to be seen though, except if 
you think of huge buzzing swarms of them of course.

an evocative image.  I like the added details on the structure.  which leads me
to ask: just how big would such details need to be to be visible from Earth?
also, can you provide the approximate dimensions please (a la Niven :-))

those birds look like fairly large (circling) vultures.  ;-)


regards, jr.

For the sake of the image, the details are huge, but so is the structure 
itself of course. As far as dimensions are concerned,I let you make the 
calculations:

The structure's basic size (in POV units) dx,dy,dz = <22.237729, 
2.253802, 22.237729> is scaled 10e4 in this scene.

Eagles, sir, eagles! But yes, they are large indeed. I was mainly 
referring to the earth-bound species...

Have you ever seen Future Boy Conan (The incredible tide)? Little bugs, 
suddenly and in a huge quantity...

No, I am afraid I have not (nor read the book either).

This truly is the final version of the scene. Only subtle changes to the 
aspect of the Ring Structure.
