Excellent image, all that dripping water really adds a lot!

... and Gore is trying to tell us that the ice caps ae disapearing from global warming! Looks like polar bears are wrecking their own habitat. Never heard of a species ruining its own habitat... except for humans:( Very cool pic, Chas. Nice, playful moment captured
