More a copse than a forest in reality - a couple of hectares probably. Horseshoe Thicket on Walthamstow Marshes.
Taken from Reynisfjara beach just a short distance from our hotel in Dyrhólaey where I took the sunrise shot. A very beautiful beach with black sand - very dangerous though as there is a very steep drop into the sea which has resulted in quite a few people drowning over the years. Needless to say I stayed well away from the water's edge!

One morning I found this little gekko, young and severely exhausted, trapped between the surface of the water and the edge of the pool. He must have fallen into the water during the night and couldn't get out on his own. I then held out my arm to him, delicately, and he seized this chance to survive. I was able to observe it for a long time slowly making its way up my arm. I then approached him to a safe place where he could regain his strength and continue his life in complete freedom.
Despite the location and his young age, this specimen looks like a Tarentola gomerensis, or maybe Phyllodactylus angustidigitus.
Oropesa del Mar, Castellon, Spain
Getting these images makes the expeditions so exclusive. Golden flood streams from the sky and creates memories, that keeps you warm when desperate, when you're drowning a little. Autumn light is just perfect.
Out on the boat searching for dolphins, and I did see quite a few...Trouble was, by the time you saw one it was already only showing its tail fin-or I completely missed the shot...So, here is my "big" dolphin shot...lol
I did learn that dolphins give birth tail first so the baby does not drown...then she lifts it to the surface on her back until it can breathe...They stay submerged for 15 minutes max, then must resurface...And they prefer fresh river water to sea water...They are much larger than I imagined up close!
The fast incoming tide was threathening to drown this beach chair that had been left too close to the water.

La mitad de nuestras equivocaciones nacen de que cuando debemos pensar, sentimos, y cuando debemos sentir, pensamos.

Half of our mistakes are born because when we have to think, we feel, and when we have to feel, we think.

- A very interesting and 'funny' story, borrowed from:

- A note on the word Eupatorium.
It comes from King Mithridates VI of Pontus, also known as Eupator Dionysius. He lived circa 120-63 BC and has a very colorful history.
The reason he is brought up here is that he fits into the herbal world through a concoction (little used today) called Mithridate, which is a poison antidote.
Here is a bit of his story. His father was also a king who was killed by poison (a popular method then), and so as he ascended the throne he naturally worried about a similar fate.
He tried to tilt the odds in his favor by continually taking very small amounts of a number of poisons. And it was also rumored that he had a special concoction that was a mixture of many substances that he drank to become resistant to being poisoned. There is much speculation on what these substances were, and you can see competing accounts of the ingredients if you look it up.
Here’s where it gets interesting (dare I say, ironic). Mithridates was a territory-expanding type of King, continually stepping on the toes of his Roman neighbors. When the Romans were sure to defeat Mithridates, instead of being captured he chose to kill himself, by poison.
Unfortunately (get your ironic hats on) he was not able to kill himself as he was inured by all the years of taking sub-lethal doses of these poisons. (Not true for his family, who also took the poison before capture, they all died).
So instead, he asked a guard to stab him to death with his sword. Not the cleanest way to die, but it worked well enough.
And so, for many years afterwards, his special Mithridate formula was sought by those in similar circumstances (meaning, fear of being poisoned). Another variation of this drink (Galen wrote a book about it) is called theriac. Which lead later to the English word treacle.
It is hard to know how much of this tale, or formula are true, but it is well published, including accounts written around the time of his death.
I am not sure why this genus of these plants is named after him, but there are some poisonous Eupatoriums, such as White snakeroot (Eupatorium rugosum aka Ageratina altissima), so perhaps there was a poisonous species in his formula?
And so, Mithridate lends his name to a couple of plants.
Drowned trees in a pond left behind by the landslide that destroyed Thistle, Utah in In April 1983, when a massive landslide dammed the Spanish Fork River. The residents were evacuated as nearly 65,000 acre feet (80,000,000 m3) of water backed up, flooding the town. Thistle was destroyed; only a few structures were left partially standing. Federal and state government agencies have said this was the most costly landslide in United States history, the economic consequences of which affected the entire region. The landslide resulted in the first presidentially declared disaster area in Utah. Thistle Ghost Town, Utah County, Utah.

Originally, Haweswater was a natural lake about four kilometres long, nearly divided by a tongue of land at Measand; the two reaches of the lake were known as High Water and Low Water.
Before the valley was flooded in 1935, all the farms and dwellings of the villages of Mardale Green and Measand were demolished, as well as the centuries-old Dun Bull Inn at Mardale Green. The village church was dismantled and the stone used in constructing the dam; all the bodies in the churchyard were exhumed and re-buried at Shap. Today, when the water in the reservoir is low, the remains of the submerged village of Mardale Green can still be seen, including stone walls and the village bridge.
It´s raining for days in Düsseldorf. So I had to shoot this portrait under a bridge. The world is my studio (thanks to Nikon for that claim) :D
Have a very nice (and sunny?) week! :)
