I just searched something for art rupestre and ancient rock carvings when I accidentally found this great #animation #film: "This is the time of day when the #mimis come out of their underworld to prepare the land for the next day. The boy follows the mimi spirits and is missed by the rest of the camp.The story is owned by the Dhuwa moiety at Wugularr (Beswick) Community. abc.net.au/education/dust-echo

@nat This! And I would like to add #nature (you can experience it also in cities). #ReconnectWithNature and we can see the new beginnings, #beauty and survival, #symbiosis of the diverse, #connection, social behaviour, the stability of grass or a rock, the #joy of living of animal babies. Nature can shift our perspective, we are part of it. It helps to identify the death cults ... and can heal us, when we need calm moments.

@johnadams Ah, I found the book: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmael_ and even a website about Quinn's work: ishmael.org/books/the-book/

Sounds very interesting and reminds me of David Abram's philosophy in his books "Becoming Animal" and "The Spell Of The Sensous. emergencemagazine.org/conversa

Some #civilisations left us rock carvings, some papyrus, and some write their books on trees. In 2026, we still weren't able to decipher their writings.

Beetle tunnels in the wood of an apple tree. They look like rock art from times long past.

"In gewisser Weise muss es beeindrucken, wie erfolgreich es gelungen ist, die Auseinandersetzung mit unserer #Existenz auf dem Planeten zu etwas umzubauen, was politisch wie emotional an den Umgang mit einer unaufgeräumten Abstellkammer erinnert."

🧵 our bodymates as equals? Without them we would die.

And if our skin can be seen as a #planet for tiny aliens, you can try a #space flight in your #garden. I made this expedition: steady.page/en/naturematchcuts

This photo reportage is genuine, created in a real Homo sapiens brain, and produced without any AI rubbish: an #expedition to a distant #planet where strong evidence of life had been found: the planet Elder 0815, part of the famous Mosslich-system. steady.page/en/naturematchcuts

And tomorrow I'm writing a photo reportage for my blog/newsletter. Hot story: I was on an expedition to a distant planet. Hiking there was quite tough!

🧵 After 40 years, I'm back in #zines. The prototype was made for testing and giving me ideas how I could colour my little #alien, I'm now drawing the final version. I haven't quite decided yet what materials I'll use to colour it in: felt-tip pens or watercolours.
Yes, one day you can download it. It takes time, it's my first one after so much time and Im quite rusty. 😁

Two pages of paper with my glasses. One is provisional and roughly coloured, the other one is the fine drawing of the outlines in black, which I then colour in correctly. The main character is a friendly, chubby green alien with googly eyes, who represents Homo sapiens.

"Reconnecting people with their food, and re-teaching people how to grow their own food, has the potential to positively and permanently change the world. It is possible to grow food that is fresher, healthier, and more diverse than what is currently found in the grocery stores..."

It’s #apple time! A paradise of colours in regions with traditional #Streuobstwiesen, a very special form of #meadow #orchards meanwhile becoming rare in Europe. And I had to experience a culture clash of people who are afraid of #nature because they think it is dirty and dangerous:

🧵 1/ My first school room in #nature was a loose rock in a dry stone wall: cronenburg.net/naturematchcuts

For many years I missed some species of that #soilLife until I built a box for making photos. Home to #woodlice and their roommates to show people the adventures happening in #compost and being able to photograph better. At irregular intervals, I'll take you on a tour, as for all things nature without #CW.*

Inside a brown flower box: a big part is covered with dead chickweed plants Under these plants I place fresh food like salad, tomate, apple or potato peels. Next to it a mix of flat stones, salad and a tomato slice. The flower box is placed in absolute shade (I open a shutter for photographing) and kept humid.
It is home to soil life, similar to that found in compost heaps. Because space is limited, I have to keep adding soil and releasing some of the soil onto the compost heap, otherwise the animals reproduce so rapidly that some of them become cannibalistic.The right part of the flower box showing the stones, salad, a tomato slice and some chickweed seedlings. The stones are placed loosely layered for giving place to the animals. And I don't disturb too much when I lift one up to take a photo of the life underneath it.

Thinking about our relationship with the environment...

Did you know that around 70% of Europeans can no longer see the Milky Way due to light pollution? Western Europe is among the most light-polluted regions in the world. This excess artificial light not only hides the stars but also disrupts wildlife, ecosystems and human health—affecting sleep, hormones, and natural rhythms.

Let’s rethink how we light our nights—for the sake of nature, and ourselves.

The dark, star-filled night sky of Bubulcus & Bolotas with silhouetted trees in the foreground. Wisps of clouds drift across the sky, and a meteor streaks faintly above. The glow of distant light pollution softly illuminates the horizon. A caption below reads: “Minimizing light pollution not only reveals the stars but also fosters sustainability by conserving energy, protecting wildlife, and enhancing human well-being.” Styled like a photo pinned at the corners, the image promotes harmony between sustainability and comfort.

What began as a search for a rare parrot became a hike through tropical green, full of guavas, old friendships, and quiet epiphanies. On the Cumberland Trail in St. Vincent, the forest didn’t give me the perfect bird photo. It gave me something better.
