Old 1890s pump house, filled with rusted pipes. Algae and ferns add a fantastic pop of green, breathing life back into this space. Somewhere in Luxembourg.

Moss

On a wet and foggy early afternoon, I came across this lush green and mossy forest scene in the Vosges. The crooked birch tree stood out to me. This was on the first full day of what would be a very wet week in this French range of medium mountains.

Soon, a few photography friends and I will be presenting each other our best shots of the past year. And with selecting your best shots, comes the dismissal of the ones you really like, but ultimately don't make the cut. I will be sharing those shots here, in chronological order. This is number 8 of 19.

wrote that "The body should be treated more rigorously, that it may not be disobedient to the mind.”

And so, after a wet walk through the woods (I'm still drying my chilled toes back at the office) I'm feeling pleased to have gone out in the rain today. It wasn't an arduous discomfort, and it resulted in a worthwhile experience.

Take care, y'all.

In #Carboniferous, global #forests appeared, covering #tropical zones with tree-high #horsetails, #clubmosses, and #ferns. #Oxygen levels rose, and #CO2 was bound for transforming peat into lignite and #bituminous #coal. The climate later became colder i.a. due to the decreasing greenhouse gas leading to the Permo-Carboniferous Ice Age period.

Seemingly root area of Sigillariaceae (or Lepidodendron relationship), both representing clubmosses (Lycopodiaceae). Bituminous coal is common in the Southwest of Germany and represents remnants of Carboniferous tropical forests. Beautiful fossils, mainly plant fossils, can for example be found in Saarland, as for example this piece of a two colored lower trunk area. © My collection, photo © Stefan F.

Two photos from today's walk. A neat shelf fungi (there's a puddle on it, which I don't see often) and a VERY ferny rock.

On an unrelated note, consider checking out freeameri.ca if you're interested in liberal American political action this coming Tuesday. That would be cool of you. If that doesn't appeal, then enjoy your day anyway.

Winterizing ferns in my Freedom Avenue laundry room, 1995. I have propagated these porch plants from three original Klinglers' Produce ferns, for over thirty years.

A low angle, vertical orientation photograph of a steep, metal staircase ascending sharply through a dense, dark green rainforest.  The wooden handrails, painted white, appear worn and weathered, guiding the eye up. The steps lead directly toward a bright, sunlit patch at the top, where the warm colors of a building are barely visible, creating a strong contrast between the dark foreground foliage and the light background. Large ferns flank the staircase on both sides.
