PardonMeForAsking discovered yesterday that the EPA Canal Canal Facebook Group is having a photo contest each month for pictures of the Gowanus Canal. They wanna see what you see everyday, a Canal that’s so polluted that it hurts and/or a waterway that’s getting cleaned up for the first time ever!

So, get out those artist skills and make Lavendar Lake look beautiful!

This image is going to be hard to beat. Just look at the dead fish’s face!
