As a fan of stop motion animation, I’ve watched more than I could ever count in my life.  But this animation by Hornet, Inc. for the Columbia Water Center is one of the best and most beautiful I’ve ever seen.  It is called Deeper Than Water and it addresses concerns about the world’s water supply.

I’m scared of many things, and these pictures are good examples of why volcanic eruptions are on...
