"I was late in discovering the baffling sadness of Asia's Aral Sea. It appeared to me as what I initially assumed was a fabricated photograph of a large tanker ship lying in the sand, propeller battered by wind. My reaction is a mix of nautical navigation attempts and popular desert songs of the industrial world. Yet critical information has been removed from sight or use, in recognition of what has happened to the Aral itself."
