BLM Website Drops Sunny Hiking Photo To Feature Black Wall of Coal

"It is a tale of two photographs, one light and airy, the other kind of, well, dark.

On Wednesday, the feature photograph on the Bureau of Land Management’s homepage was an idyllic shot of what appears to be a sunrise over pretty green bluff, witnessed by a pair of backpackers.

But seemingly overnight, there was a noticeable change. Gone were the boy and man from the wild land that the BLM controls, and in its place was coal. A great wall of carbon literally blacked out the old sunny view."
