“The govt knows, even if it prefers to forget, the realities of losses 5 years ago. Wildlife & its habitat doesn't just pop up again in a year or two. There seems to be a deliberate agenda to ensure they never return” 🌏

'Im Wald' #FotoVorschlag 'In the forest'
Ah I thought about this #photo immediately when I saw today's motto 🙂. I admit that I don't see #fog in the #forests very often - but this time I was just super lucky to witness this scene!

The blogpost for it:https://www.franzgraf.de/blog/2024/highlights-from-our-bavarian-forest-getaway-last-autumn/

The image depicts a serene scene in a forest, with the sun shining through the trees casting a warm glow. The forest is enveloped in fog, adding a mystical and ethereal quality to the landscape. The dominant colors in the image are black and grey, with accents of a warm brown hue. A tree is prominently featured in the foreground, with yellow leaves adding a pop of color to the otherwise muted palette. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and peace, making it a perfect representation of a misty autumn day in a northern hardwood forest.


A beautiful moss covered Western red #cedar #tree - still unprotected.
Only a human, with a compromised & unwell soul, would be OK killing an elder tree this magnificent. Some things are just plain wrong.

These ancient old growth trees are essential to fighting accelerated #ClimateChange. #OldGrowth ecosystems in our coastal temperate rainforests supports much biodiverse lifeforms. The naturally moist environment helps to lower impacts of wildfires & other natural disasters that have increased as our governments continue to fund & enable more ecocidal projects.

Low-angle, wide shot of a tree trunk positioned vertically. The bark is reddish-brown, deeply textured with vertical grooves, and heavily populated with green moss. The composition emphasizes the tree's height and scale, creating a sense of upward momentum. Framing trees surround the main subject, with a diffused, white sky in the background.


I do enjoy a run up to Glen Coe, such a beautiful run, the scenery is breathtaking. I always hope for snow at this time of year but it's not always guaranteed, mostly just rain low cloud - very moody

“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
― Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder

I keep walking to that same spot at the edge of the field, knowing exactly where to stand in those few meters and waiting at the last moment to turn my head to the right, knowing exactly what I will see. And yet the view is amazing every time. I have dozens of roughly similar photos of this wave of trees but which are also unique depending on the seasons, the light and the activities in the field. I love to travel and see new landscapes but I also agree with Rachel Carson: there is something extremely reassuring and calming about repetition and consistency, not only in nature, but in photography and life.

The "Wave" in May, July, October 2024 and February 2025.

I will state it plainly. Those who believe this nonsense cannot be trusted with the wellbeing of future generations. - Ken Henry Former Treasury Secretary. "Mining & native forest logging industries, collectively, employ only ~2% of the labour force."

July 19, 1983: I felt terrific as I followed the Appalachian Trail along streets through the town. Duncannon was a small city with a downtown business district consisting of a few square blocks of mid- to early twentieth-century buildings like the Doyle Hotel quickly giving way to tree-lined residential streets.

Beneath an extremely hazy whitewashed summer sky we are at a lookout high up a mountainside looking hundreds of feet down at a lush green valley where two major rivers join into one very large river. Impressive arch bridges span the mouths of both rivers, connecting the riverbank on or left to the peninsula between the rivers and then the riverbank on our right. There are wide swathes of forest along all the riverbanks, with the outskirts of a small city to our left. The rest of the valley is farm fields and pastures. A long, flattish ridge, barely visible through miles of thick humidity, rises from the far end of the valley.


It was last September that I had the chance to meet this beautiful little family: a mother bear with her three young cubs.

How I took this photo ? Canon R3 EF500 mm f4 II USM 1/500e f4 Iso 6400 Manual Raw Tripod

Since I started as a photographer, I have always loved silhouettes, the low light of the evening or morning. I love these atmospheres. During a recent trip to Finland, I had the immense privilege of meeting this mother bear just before nightfall. For me, it was such an unforgettable moment.

How I did this photo ? Canon R3 EF500 mm f/4 II usm 1/1600e f5,6 Iso 1600

Depuis que j'ai commencé à photographier, j'ai toujours aimé les silhouettes, les lumières rasantes du soir ou du matin. Les contres et frisants. J'adore ces ambiances. Lors d'un récent voyage en Finlande, j'ai eu l'immense privilège de rencontrer cette maman ourse juste avant la tombée de la nuit. Pour moi, ce fut un moment inoubliable.

#Ghana hollows out #forests and green protections to advance #mining interests

Malavika Vyawahare

via @mongabay

Key points:

- The Ghanaian government has significantly ramped up the approval of mining permits under legislation passed in late 2022, intensifying concerns about runaway environmental damage.

- The country is already the top #gold producer in #Africa, but much of the mining is done in #forest reserves and other #biodiverse #ecosystems.

- The government has long cracked down on artisanal illegal #GoldMiners, but activists say the real damage is being wrought by #industrial operations, both legal and illegal.

- A debt default in 2022 has seen #Ghana lean even more heavily on its gold to mitigate the crisis, prompting warnings that such a policy is neither #economically nor #environmentally #sustainable.

Dead #trees are not wasted timber dollars - they are sources of food for literally thousands of beings in a #forest #ecosystem, from tiny microscopic beings to insectivorous birds. Standing dead trees are known as snags, while a fallen dead trees are nurse logs. A cut or natural stump can serve the same #ecological function as a #NurseStump.

Nature wastes nothing. If there is a nutrient source to be had, there is a being to benefit from it. Nurse logs, standing snags & nurse stumps play hosts to all sorts of mosses, lichens, fungi, insects & arthropods, many hidden deep inside, as well as other living beings that prey on them.

Nurse #stumps are still deeply rooted; new plant, tree & fungi life grows out of their tops. Nurse stumps & dead stumps that have no new growth atop are like anchor systems for living trees growing in forests. You destabilize the ecosystem when you remove them from their natural #environment.

A moss-covered stump stands in the foreground, resembling a small table, within a lush forest. Tall trees with textured bark and patches of moss rise in the background, while fallen leaves and various green plants cover the ground, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of the woodland.


When the leaves are all gone
The colours are found
Not up in the trees
But low to the ground

Birch trees are often pioneer species, after smaller flowering plants, they’re some of the first to colonize open land after events like forest fires or logging. #nature #forest #photo #ecology #science
