EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Trevor Page captures the intense process of fracking for tight shale oil in a wheat field at the edge of the Baaken play in Del Bonita, Alberta, Canada. The image showcases CanElson Drilling Inc's machinery from Calgary as it diligently drills into the earth's surface to extract this valuable resource. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the significant role that oil plays in our modern world. The juxtaposition of man-made structures against nature is striking; towering rigs and drilling equipment stand tall amidst vast fields of golden wheat. The cloudless blue sky serves as a backdrop, symbolizing both hope and concern for what lies beneath. While this photograph highlights technological advancements and energy sources crucial to our daily lives, it also raises questions about potential environmental impacts. Fracking involves hydraulic fracturing techniques that utilize chemicals and sand to release trapped oil and gas from deep within tight shale formations. The image prompts us to consider issues such as air pollution, water contamination, and their effects on crops, grasslands, livestock drinking sources, and irrigation systems. Trevor Page's skillful composition invites viewers to ponder the delicate balance between progress and sustainability in our quest for energy resources. It reminds us that every action has consequences – ones that must be carefully considered as we navigate towards a more sustainable future.
