  • 09 APRIL 2013 - KHUNTAN, LAMPHUN, THAILAND:  An assistant village headman from Khuntan, Lamphun province, throws water on a grassfire burning on a roadside in the community. The "burning season," which roughly goes from late February to late April, is when farmers in northern Thailand burn the dead grass and last year's stubble out of their fields. The burning creates clouds of smoke that causes breathing problems, reduces visibility and contributes to global warming. The Thai government has banned the burning and is making an effort to control it, but the farmers think it replenishes their soil (they use the ash as fertilizer) and it's cheaper than ploughing the weeds under.

  • 12 JULY 2012 - HOLBROOK, AZ:  Wind turbines at the Dry Lake Wind Farm Project near Holbrook, AZ. Dry Lake Wind Power Project is Arizona's first modern, commercial-scale wind farm. Iberdrola Renewables, LLC developed and built the project on a combination of private, state and federal lands in northeastern Arizona. Landowners include the Rocking Chair Ranch, Arizona State Land Department and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The project's 30 Suzlon wind turbines generate 63 megawatts (MW) of electricity for Salt River Project (SRP), the third-largest public power utility in the nation, serving customers in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. SRP estimates that's enough electricity to power approximately 15,000 average Arizona homes.  PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • July 12 - GILA BEND, AZ: Signs warning recreational users of the Sonoran Desert National Monument of the dangers of encountering illegal immigrants and drug smugglers on BLM Road 8018c south of Gila Bend, AZ, off of Interstate 8. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) put up the signs at entrances to the Sonoran Desert National Monument after off roaders reported being shot at by unknown parties and a deputy from the Pinal County Sheriff's Department was fired on and nearly killed by suspected drug dealers. The signs have ignited a firestorm in Arizona politics, conservatives and anti-immigration activists assert that the signs are proof that illegal immigration and drug smuggling is out of control in the area while others suggest that the danger is overstated and the signs are hurting Arizona tourism. A BLM spokesperson said no one has been hurt in the area by confirmed smugglers and that there are very few encounters between smugglers and tourists or off roaders in the monument.

  • 09 MARCH 2015 - NA KHOK, SAMUT SAKHON, THAILAND: Salt raked into mounds on a salt farm in Samut Sakhon. The coastal provinces of Samut Sakhon and Samut Songkhram, about 60 miles from Bangkok, are the center of Thailand's sea salt industry. Salt farmers harvest salt from the waters of the Gulf of Siam by flooding fields and then letting them dry through evaporation, leaving a crust of salt behind. Salt is harvested through dry season, usually February to April. The 2014 salt harvest went well into May because the dry season lasted longer than normal. Last year's harvest resulted in a surplus of salt, driving prices down. Some warehouses are still storing salt from last year. It's been very dry so far this year and the 2015 harvest is running ahead of last year's bumper crop. One salt farmer said prices are down about 15 percent from last year.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 30 JULY 2013 - KOH SAMET, RAYONG, THAILAND:  Koh Samet island. About 50,000 liters of crude oil poured out of a pipeline in the Gulf of Thailand over the weekend authorities said. The oil made landfall on the white sand beaches of Ao Prao, on Koh Samet, a popular tourists destination in Rayong province about 2.5 hours southeast of Bangkok. Workers from PTT Global, owner of the pipeline, and up to 500 Thai military personnel are cleaning up the beaches.

  • 08 CHIANG MAI, CHIANG MAI, THAILAND:    A woman wears a breathing mask while she drives her motorcycle through Chiang Mai, Thailand. Many people in Chiang Mai and nothern Thailand wearing masks because of the air pollution caused by smoke from fires in the area. The "burning season," which roughly goes from late February to late April, is when farmers in northern Thailand burn the dead grass and last year's stubble out of their fields. The burning creates clouds of smoke that causes breathing problems, reduces visibility and contributes to global warming. The Thai government has banned the burning and is making an effort to control it, but the farmers think it replenishes their soil (they use the ash as fertilizer) and it's cheaper than ploughing the weeds under.

Iberdrola Renewables, LLC developed and built the project on a combination of private, state and federal lands in northeastern Arizona. Landowners include the Rocking Chair Ranch, Arizona State Land Department and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The project's 30 Suzlon wind turbines generate 63 megawatts (MW) of electricity for Salt River Project (SRP), the third-largest public power utility in the nation, serving customers in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area.
