Having a blast?

That mankind tend to destroy things of beauty is nothing new...
Guess we should be called 'manunkind'.

Story:
Scenic mountains surrounding China's famed Shaolin Temple are being ravaged by extensive stone quarrying, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Thursday.

More than 20 quarries operating in the Songshan mountains of Henan province are blasting away forest cover and leaving vast shelves of exposed rock, Xinhua said.

"The beautiful landscape of the mountains has been destroyed," Xinhua's report said.
