...image is emblematic of work that appears in Franklin's new book, Footprint: Our Landscape in Flux, a remarkable exploration of the human impact on Europe's terrain. It's much more than just a catalog of environmental degradation. Franklin, 52, and a Magnum photographer for more than 30 years, found his early inspiration for the series on a 2003 trip through Andalucian farmland; it was there that he saw vast swaths of the countryside covered - and intriguingly altered - by plastic sheets designed to protect against the elements and infestation. Franklin then crisscrossed Europe (from Portugal to Russia, Norway...
...Footprint is as much an exploration of how Europeans interpret the land - how people choose to manage their space and how, sometimes, they fail to do so - as it is about the land itself. Through it all Franklin, who holds a Ph.D. in geography, demonstrates an artist's flair. He sees Greek-Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico, he says, in the winter light of his Spanish farming photos, and American artist Georgia O'Keeffe in the shapes that form in breaking glacial ice. Most of all, Franklin credits the Romantics and their idea "that these sublime landscapes are both beautiful...
...Bensenville's 11th-hour savior, the path is clear for the bulldozers to start rolling. And while 14 million cubic yd.

...rather than as a significant source of electricity, according to Gray. The turbines will also be valuable due to their visibility and the statement they make, Gray said. “[The turbines will be] an outward statement about looking and examining renewables on campus and lowering our carbon footprint,” Gray said, “like walking by a beautiful bouquet of flowers.” Small-scale wind turbines, which are installed on approximately 3,000 American homes, are generally not economically feasible, according to a recent report by the American Wind and Energy Association. Electricity...
...first thing that strikes you about the DoublePool Villas, as they're called, is their jaw-dropping footprint: including grounds, they occupy between 16,460 sq. ft. (1,530 sq m) and 23,520 sq. ft. (2,185 sq m). Nestled amid each oasis is an infinity-edged pool, surrounded by a vast shady lawn and overlooking a central lagoon. The second pool is a wading pool that wraps around the glass-enclosed bedroom - all you need to do to enjoy your morning dip is roll over...
