For my next trick I'll predict how brexit will pan out
Parks and wilderness, civilization and the natural environment. Of course the latter is subject to drought and fire...
With inverted tones we see the immense structure of the - to be - leaf supporting boughs, branches and twigs - once Spring comes a solar farm.

Seaweed ( kelp ) taken during our road trip to Robe, South Australia.
Seaweeds grow in abundance in the oceans, many of which are edible and safe for human consumption.
They have been documented to contain many of the essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds.
For many years, seaweeds have also been cultivated and utilized directly as food for humans or as feed to produce food for human consumption.
Since seaweeds grow in many climatic conditions globally, their cultivation has minimal impact on the environment.
Seaweeds are increasingly recognized as a sustainable food source with the potential to play a major role in providing food security worldwide.
Although seaweeds are part of the diet in many Asian countries and some European nations, there are some challenges in terms of their incorporation into the general diet in many places globally.
Innovation in food technology and culinology can help make seaweeds desirable organoleptically to increase their consumption.
Abstract from a book..Seaweeds: a sustainable food source.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated..
Peaceful MBT
We used Google Maps extensively on our recent western state's road trip. The application gives you the main route and also offers a couple of alternative routes. Believe it or not, this dirt road was one of the alternative routes offered. I'm glad we took it.

Symonds Yat
A short walk from the main viewing area at Symonds Yat Rock is the alternative view point, much quieter, in fact we were the only ones there. The views of the river Wye I thought were actually better from here. In the distance you should be just able to make out the spire of the church in the village of Goodrich, and below in the valley by the side of the river some cows looking very small.

Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
The sun set to the right and behind a ridge not visible in this scene. However, on this occasion, as it dipped below the horizon, the brilliant reds reflected on the clouds above us and again in the water below - making it a lovely alternative to the actual sunset itself.
The technique:
I took this photograph and cropped it a little, altered hue to be this bright pink instead of green with some blurring, added a blue tinge for the sky and masked off the cows - adjusted the saturation so they were white once more and sketched them in using the graphic pen.
And the verdict.... what do you think, pop art or just rubbish??! Any honest opinions welcomed, I will not be offended!
PS this means opinions on the final result, not the fact of using an image editor! LOL : D
The vastness of the Australian outback is dwarfed by the Milky Way... and beyond. View from near Joffre Gorge, with the lights of Tom Price distant at left and a Karijini Eco Retreat bit closer on the right. Stitch of 9 photos using Hugin.
I've always been fascinating with fire escape stairs. The only thing missing here is someone running up or down. Oh well....
Alternative shot of a previously uploaded photo taken from the western slope of Shiranesan volcano.
The bamboo grasslands would be a result of Siranesan's volcanic activities as the area is lower than the forest limit of 2,500 m.
The snow-capped mountain range in the distance is Kita Alps that forms the western boundary of the Nagano prefecture, while the shooting site is near its eastern boundary. Direct distance from Shiranesan to Kita Alps is some 70 km.
The peaks in the upper right are the volcanoes of Iizuna, Takatsuma (Togakushi), Kurohime and Myoukou. There are too many volcanoes in this part of Japan.
