Doñana's National park (Spain), Dunes ecosystem,
Doñana's National Park includes five different ecosystems: Beaches, Dunes, Border, Marsh and Forest. The system of mobile dunes of Doñana, unique in Spain, is one of the most beautiful landscapes of the park. The dunes, extremely interesting both from an ecological and a cultural viewpoint, are formed by accumulations of sand whose front of progress has a steeper slope than the part of displacement called tail. The progress of the dunes from the beach buries and destroys the vegetation that finds on its way, forming between two dunes the “corrales”, copses of stone pines and bushes.

🇫🇷 L'or des fougères
Dans les petites clairières de la 🌳hêtraie🌳, les fougères dorent le sous-bois de leurs couleurs fauves. Un rien de soleil bas entre les troncs permet de les faire miroiter comme des visions entre les étincelles de la rosée. Oui, l'hiver sait aussi comment nous charmer dans la forêt.

Lauderhill, officially the City of Lauderhill, is a city in Broward County, Florida, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the city's population was 66,887. It is a principal city of the Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people in 2015.
The development that eventually came to be known as Lauderhill was original to be named "Sunnydale", but William Safire, a friend of the developer, Herbert Sadkin, convinced him to change his mind. Safire felt that "Sunnydale" sounded like a neighborhood in Brooklyn. Sadkin said there were no hills in the new town, to which Safire replied, "There are probably no dales in Lauderdale, either!" From that discussion, the name "Lauderhill" was coined. The development eventually grew to become Lauderhill, the city.
Lauderhill was one of two developments (the other in New York) that began largely as off-the-shelf architectural designs that had been available to the public at Macy's department store. The homes, which had been designed by Andrew Geller, had originally been on display at the "Typical American Houses" at the American Exhibition in Moscow. Following a group of approximately 200 of the homes constructed in Montauk, New York in 1963 and 1964, the same developer, Herbert Sadkin of the New York-based All-State Properties reprised his success in New York, building a series of similar homes in Florida, calling the development Lauderhill.
In 2003, the New York Times described the Macy's homes:
The package deal included a 730- to a 1,200-square-foot house on a 75-by-100-foot lot, as well as state-of-the-art appliances, furniture, housewares, and everything else a family would need for a weekend in the sun, including toothbrushes and toilet paper. The cost was roughly $13,000 to $17,000.
The Inverrary Country Club was built in 1970, and two years later, its East golf course became home to the new Jackie Gleason Inverrary Classic on the PGA Tour, which is hosted through 1983. Gleason himself built his final home on the golf course.
Up until the late 1980s-early 1990s, Lauderhill was mostly a retirement community for the Jewish community and the second home for snowbirds (especially in the Inverrary neighborhood). It is now home to mostly Jamaicans, West Indians, and African Americans, but it still has a sizeable white, Jewish, and Hispanic population in the Northwest section and in the Inverrary neighborhood, located north of Oakland Park Boulevard and east of University Drive.

In a scene more reminiscent of a watercolor painting, the remains of the C&O Railway's former Ansted Branch are being returned to nature with looming, towering trees growing in the gauge with the crossties and rails themselves making homes for mosses and fungi on the morning of April 11, 2021, in Hawks Nest, WV.
Stop snorting that Smartdust, with its nanosensors, nanobots, and other nanodevices! Stop snorting that Neural Dust, it’s really a brain-computer interface! You need help! You need an intervention! Do you really want Programmable Matter flowing through your veins, with its nano-grained computing elements that use light, temperature, vibration, magnetism, and chemicals to send wireless messages to computer networks outside your body? Do you want semiconductor technology, nanotechnology, and self-replicating machine technology to build nanostructures inside you? Do you want to be a nano-ecosystem run by an All-Seeing Eye Smartchip that is imbedded in your forehead? Do you want to be part of the Internet of Bodies, the transhuman computer network of zombies, which is hooked up to the Super Quantum Beast Computer Network? Do you want to be a transhuman host of the Beast parasite?
Let’s roll out 6G and turn these useless eaters into transhuman batteries, into transhuman computers and data storage systems that will be linked to the Beast Smart Grid. Indeed, they will be under the all-seeing eye of lucifer’s false christ—the Beast. Then he will be all seeing, all knowing, and all powerful—a cheap imitation of the true God…bahahahaha!!

This is a frame from a side-mounted GoPro as I drove through an aspen forest on a back road near Monarch Pass, Colorado.
I moved sideways into clouds and skies for this series. This could be a "hard hat" storm out east. Keep your "rock" umbrella as ready as I keep my rock skis ready for the early season. Finally, the fairgrounds really approached twilight's end for last summer's carny; I am ready for the rides to pop. This cloud was a feast of captures. Clouds do this as the atmosphere vastly expands after compressing, cooling and clearing the Rockies from the west. I liked this sky but there are degrees. I figured folks on the eastern plains, Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma, better go for the hard hats. Black is the new blue.
No global warming under here; no global warming under there! People won't continue to believe the TheRump's lies after FEMA is broke. This will soon be a thumper and those folks will need to flash the sign of the cross to the heavens. That fossil-fueled summer heated up our atmosphere and with 8% more atmospheric moisture trigger smack downs worl d wide! Insurance companies declare events as acts of god instead of global warming for obvious reasons. They don't have payouts if they can blame god. It's more important to stage a WWIII even before our regular scheduled mass extinction. Few southern conservatives are listening. "The extinction won't be televised," Gil Scott Heron. Well... scientists said the weather would be more violent as the climate warmed. The heating increased humidity in the atmosphere by 8%. Here we are, we have met the enemy and he is us.

The mountains, forests and wetlands of Eastern Hokkaido are located at the boundary of a cool-temperate zone and a subarctic zone, and they contain a mixture of northern and temperate plant species. The wetlands and the temperate broadleaf and mixed forests of the area provide a diversity of habitats and a variety of wildlife including some endangered species such as the red crowned crane, the Blakiston's fish owl, and the Stellar's sea eagle and a small population of Hokkaido brown bears.

I know I have put more than enough photos of acacias in the savannah. But they are such integral part of the landscape, lending such character and drama to it, that I can’t help myself. This one was captured at Amboseli
Amboseli would always be special for me, not only was it the first safari destination I visited (after years of dreaming about it), I think my creativity was at its peak there. Maybe it was the feeling of suddenly being surrounded by such spectacular flora and fauna that for those two days I felt really free; everywhere I looked was a photo opportunity and every shot I took looked perfect. I think unbridled euphoria often leads to the best results (optimist who?). As a holiday progresses I find myself typicallly overanalysing shots and trying a bunch of different things – which are often great photo wise but makes the process a tad more technical than spontaneous. Do you guys feel the same?
Anyway this is one of the shots which still looks perfect to me. They call it golden hour for a reason.
As an aspect of my attempts to become more aware of the woods around the lake as a living, integrated ecosystem, I started looking at the ways that what seems dead is really alive.
Saprobic fungi are those that live from transforming dead trees. The process of ‘white rot’ converts the basic elements of the dead tree back into soil, while giving life to the fungi.
The Cinnabar Polypore does that work on dead deciduous trees, sprouting out of cracks in the bark of fallen trees quite dramatically. The glowing orange-red (it runs through a few shades in that range) is hard to miss, and it starts as a thimble-sized bubble and then grows to a large bracket.
The Cinnabar in the image is a little less than halfway from having burst through the bark to its bracket stage. Other newer/younger eruptions are visible along the trunk.
We lose a lot of trees these days to a fairly dramatic increase in violent wind storms. Walking through the Britannia Conservation area it is easy to see that various life forms working away on the fallen. One of the neat things about these fungi is that they are not obviously impeded by the cold.

For the last few years I’ve been photographing signs of man-made damage to my local ecosystem as a side project.
This time I was hiking in my favourite area and found out that some of the trash that was scattered around was rearranged in this little scene. I may just wonder if what this tire represents: a swing, window or target practice… but this kids mind managed to turn it into something marginally better.

The Vaia Storm was an extreme meteorological event that affected the Italian northeast (in particular the mountain area of the Dolomites and the Venetian Prealps) from 26 to 30 October 2018. The event is mistakenly known as "storm", but the Scirocco wind has reached "hurricane" speeds, which generally happens only on tropical or subtropical areas of the planet.
The very strong hot sirocco wind, blowing between 100 and 200 km/h for several hours, caused the fall of millions of trees, with the consequent destruction of tens of thousands of hectares of alpine coniferous forests, a real natural disaster.
Scirocco is a warm wind coming from the southeast. This direction is symbolically indicated in the so-called wind rose. More exactly 'srocco' comes from the Arabic word sharqiyya (شرقية) which means 'eastern', since this wind blows from Syria.
The Scirocco wind has become one of the climatic symbols of Sicily and southern regions of Italy and it’s quite uncommon to have it blowing in northern regions of the Country.
The Vaia Storm, in addition to causing considerable direct damage, created the conditions for the spread of Ips thypographus, better known as bostrico typographer, a small beetle naturally present in the spruce woods of the Alps.
The presence of large quantities of damaged plants dispersed in the woods has allowed the populations of bostrico to move from an endemic presence to an epidemic presence.
The small beetle attacks mainly spruce, in which it develops under the bark by digging intricate tunnels, which interrupt the flow of the sap; in this way it inevitably leads to the death of the plants in a short time.

El Valle del Río Puelo es una cuenca Binacional que nace en Argentina en el Lago Puelo y desemboca en el Oceano Pacifico en termina en el Estuario de Reloncaví, el primer gran fiordo de la Patagonia Chilena, en la localidad de Río Puelo, al oriente de la ciudad de Puerto Montt y a tan sólo 120 Km al sur de Puerto Varas en la Región de Los Lagos de Chile.
El río Puelo (mapudungún: Está en el este) es uno de los 5 rios mas caudalosos de Chile, en su curso superior, a la salida del Lago Puelo forma el Lago Inferior, en territorio chileno y recibe las aguas de los lagos Las Rocas, Verde, Totoral, Azul, del río Ventisquero. En su curso medio, recibe al río Manso, su principal afluente, y da origen al Lago Tagua-Tagua para terminar desembocando en el seno de Reloncaví.
El valle del Rio Puelo no solo es reconocido por su extraordinaria belleza sino tambien por ser valorado como una de las mejoras zonas para la pesca deportiva Fly Fishing de Trucha y Salmon, ofreciendo ademas un entorno natural ideal para otras actividades como senderismo, cabalgatas, montañismo, rafting y mountainbike
"SALVEMOS EL RIO PUELO: No a las Torres y Centrales Hidroelectricas"
Un proyecto, perteneciente a la empresa Central Mediterráneo, en fase de aprobacion por el Gobierno Chileno, pretende construir una central hidrolelectrica en la confluencia de los ríos Torrentoso y Manso, afluentes del río Puelo. Lugareños y la industria turística cercana al río Puelo, la principal fuente de ingresos del valle, temen que el ecosistema en el que viven y trabajan se vea afectado con la construcción de esta central hidroeléctrica que instalaría grandes torres de alta tensión que arrasara bosques terminando con el encanto natural y pristino del valle. Ademas esto podria ser solo el comienzo de una serie de proyectos similares en el futuro como el que pretende realizar Endesa.
La empresa española de energía tiene proyectado construir una central hidroeléctrica, represando este río con un muro de 100 m de altura, e inundando cerca de 5000 ha, la cual tendría un impacto de grandes proporciones aún no evaluadas en la flora y fauna de toda la cuenca del río Puelo y en las diferentes actividades económicas de la zona.

Puelo River Valley is a binational basin born in Argentina on Lake Puelo flowing through the land to its mouth at the Reloncaví estuary the first great fjord of Chilean Patagonia that ends into the Pacific Ocean near the town of Rio Puelo east of the Puerto Montt city only 120 Km south of Puerto Varas in Los Lagos Region of Chile.
The Puelo River (mapudungún: It is in the East) is one of the 5 mightiest rivers of Chile its upper reaches drain out Lake Puelo forming the Lower Lake in Chilean territory and receives water from lakes Rocks Green Totoral Blue and Ventisquero River. In its middle course receives the Manso River the main tributary forming both Tagua Tagua lake to finish within Reloncaví estuary.
The valley of the Rio Puelo is not only known for its extraordinary beauty but also for being rated as one of the best areas for Fishing Trout and Salmon besides offering natural environment an ideal for other activities such as hiking horseback riding, mountaineering rafting and mountain biking.
"SAVE THE PUELO RIVER: No to pylons and hydroelectric dams "
A project from the Central Mediterranean company is awaiting to approval by the Chilean government that aims to build an hydroelectric plant at the confluence of the rivers Manso and Torrentoso Puelo River tributaries both. Locals and the tourist industry near the Puelo River the valley main income source fear about the ecosystem and how work and way of life would be affected by the construction of this power plant that will install large pylons swepting forests ending with the natural charm of the pristine valley. In addition this could be just the beginning of a series of similar projects in the future as it seeks to make Endesa.
The Spanish energy company has planned to build a hydroelectric plant, damming the river with a wall of 100 m height, and flooding about 5000 ha, which would have an impact of great proportions not yet evaluated in the flora and fauna of the whole Puelo River basin and in the different economic activities in the area.

The Sassi of Matera were enrolled in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1993. They were the first listed site in southern Italy. The inscription was motivated by the fact that they represent a unique urban ecosystem, capable of perpetuating the more distant past, the ways of living prehistoric caveman to modern times. The Sassi of Matera are an outstanding example of careful use in time of natural

Birds are important part of the whole ecosystem we call nature; in many ways. They pollinate flowers and disperse seeds, they are wonderful to watch and this world would not be the same without them. All creatures, plants, animals, birds, humans, insect, reptiles, and fish were put on this earth to interact with.
Let's be kind to the wildlife, let’s give a better world to our next generation, together.
To sell, purchase, exchange, or Any attempt to kill, capture, poison, trap, injure or destroy or taking any part of the body of such wild animal or taking of nests or eggs of wild birds are punishable under the “THE BANGLADESH WILD LIFE (PRESERVATION) ORDER, 1973 “
Most of Southeast Alaska is considered a rain forest anything that can support an ecosystem becomes one.
