Imagination of the Scene

Manmade environment has replaced nature without our awareness.

Constructed reservoir, for example, has affected earth rotation. Experts have discovered that, over the past four decades, reservoirs all over the world have blocked about one thousand billion tons of water. It speeds up the rotation of the earth 8-millionth second a day, resulting in 60cm slanting backward of the earth's axis.

The four seasons we are so familiar with are to be changed by industrial civilization without being noticed. How long the poetic scenes "hundreds of flowers in spring; bright moon in autumn" will last? We are changing our surroundings consciously or unconsciously. Will one day artificial objects seamlessly mix into nature?

Satellites and moon rise together; radars and sunflowers turn to follow the orbit of sun in unison. Weather satellites and palm grass provide equally accurate information about clouds; the electromagnetic waves of mobile phones are radiating as the sun does.

Appreciating the moon in breeze in my backyard, I wonder is there a festival for machines coming?
