Carol’s computer has been broken and with getting her house finished and starting school she has not been able to blog. She asked me to put a note up here and let you know that. I thought I’d share the post below of the naked protesters on the Aletsch glacier just because. Enjoy …

Remember when I told you about the group that was looking for volunteers to get naked to save the planet from global warming?

Well, they did.

And here they are.

Don’t you wonder what all that body heat must have done to that poor glacier? At least it was hundreds instead of thousands of naked people.

ALETSCH GLACIER, Switzerland (Reuters) - Hundreds of people posed naked on Switzerland’s shrinking Aletsch glacier on Saturday for U.S. photographer Spencer Tunick as part of a Greenpeace campaign to raise awareness of global warming.

Tunick, perched on a ladder and using a megaphone, directed nearly 600 volunteers from all over Europe and photographed them on a rocky outcrop overlooking the glacier, which is the largest in the Alps.

Later he took pictures of them standing in groups on the mass of ice and lying down. Camera crews were staged at five different points on the glacier to take photographs.

Okay, now I have to go get that vision out of my eyes.
