Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin (Museum of Technology) presents an exhibition  "Radiant Landscapes" - Photographs by Karl-Heinz Rothenberger, available at the museum until 14 October 2007. The exhibition covers interesting and important subjects of technology, progress and their influence on ecology. The first issue is about huge uranium deposits that were situated in the town of Ronneburg in Thuringia. This caused much damage to local people and nature. Needless to say, the landscape was severely damaged as well, and now one of the main problems faced by Europe is to clean up this vast area. The other problem is electricity pylons situated all around Europe that provide us with electricity. The task that has to be fulfilled now is to cover the pylons with fabric so that metal dust produced during sand-blasting would not spread onto the surrounding fields. These two important issues are reviewed in a series of photographs which you can now see at the exhibition.
