Documented Dessication

As all of us have witnessed, this was a particularly harsh summer in terms of heat, drought, and a seeming -- albeit perhaps a case of climate change hypochondria – increase in extreme weather events, too. These environmental afflictions attrite the urban environment, putting strain on its flora, fauna, the human population, and infrastructure. Our cameras effectively documented this in photos captured, which act as an extended time-lapse that spans the whole summer. Animals were less active as there was a reduced frequency of sightings into late July, and vegetation was observed wilting drastically, as was the case with the burdock surrounding camera #9. It would seem as if our cameras have witnessed a manifestation of the increasingly volatile climate forces acting on the earth. Slightly disconcerting at the least, it would appear that observable change in the outdoor urban environment, or broader, the environment, is burgeoning.
