LA STAGIONE DELLE FRAGOLE
Frutta e verdura sono alimenti indispensabili per fare il pieno di vitamine e minerali, oltre che sostanze essenziali per potenziare le difese immunitarie. Vengono spesso consumate crude e pertanto bisogna rispettare delle accurate pratiche igieniche su come lavarle e disinfettarle, per salvaguardare la propria salute.
Infatti, essendo coltivate all’aria aperta, sulle loro superfici possono depositarsi germi potenzialmente patogeni e altre sostanze chimiche già a partire dalla fase di produzione, e continuare a contaminarsi durante la raccolta, la preparazione e la conservazione in ambienti che possono favorire la proliferazione di microrganismi.

THE SEASON OF STRAWBERRIES
Fruits and vegetables are essential foods to fill up on vitamins and minerals, as well as essential substances to strengthen the immune system. They are often eaten raw and therefore it is necessary to respect accurate hygiene practices on how to wash and disinfect them, to safeguard one's health.
In fact, being grown in the open air, potentially pathogenic germs and other chemical substances can deposit on their surfaces starting from the production phase, and continue to become contaminated during collection, preparation and storage in environments that can favor the proliferation of microorganisms.

One thing I wanted to spend a bit of time doing while up in Ardnamurchan was camera trapping. Using a PIR at a selected spot, it triggers the camera based on movement. It gives a unique perspective, enabling you to capture photos you wouldn’t otherwise be able to.
In this case I was keen to show the Pine Marten that were visiting the cottage I was staying at in their forest environment. A little bit of fill flash was needed as it's quite dark in the wood, but I'm pleased with these.

Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Mankind is about 140 thousand years old. If we compress the Earth's existence into a normal full day of 24 hours, then we’ve been on this planet for... 2.5 seconds.
In 2.5 seconds we’ve become the dominant species with a rapidly growing population, causing a catastrophic impact on the environment. We have created the industrial revolution and burned fossil fuels creating more carbon in the atmosphere than ever before. We have caused global warming at a record pace, endangering our own existence. We have cut trees and destroyed forests more than ever before, polluted air, water, and soil. We have created an island of waste, the size of the state of Texas, in the middle of the ocean. We have caused the 4th mass animal extinction. Three-quarters of Earth’s land surface is under pressure from human activity. In just 2.5 seconds we’ve turned the planet into our own personal factory.
It took almost 4.5 billion years of evolution for us to exist and we have changed so much in so little time.
The problem is us. And it is up to us if we want to make it to the 4th second.

With my project “2.5 seconds” I hope to bring awareness about climate change, to start a conversation about the issue and to educate more people about the facts, the urgency of the crisis and the seriousness of its consequences. The project is a series of photographs that highlight the environmental crisis through metaphors and symbolism. Each one of them illustrates and represents a specific environmental issue using allegorical figures and subjects, props, costumes and natural landscapes.
I used “2.5 seconds” as a title because I wanted to invoke the power of numbers and perspective to create a strong, straightforward and shocking effect.
It all started with an idea I had almost 3 years ago. I have always loved nature, and have been both amazed and captivated by our planet’s beauty. I've traveled to many places before, but none of them could compare to what I felt and saw in Iceland. Visiting Iceland for the first time had a great impact on me and made me realize that our planet is fragile and its beauty may disappear. The thought that nature is being affected and destroyed by the changing climate became personal, shocking and upsetting. I wanted to capture and preserve Iceland's incredible beauty through my art while I still can.
The pressure from human activity is having a catastrophic impact on the environment that endangers our own existence. But I feel like ecology problems that are threatening our environment and affecting everyone on the planet do not get enough media attention.
I am using photography as my unique voice to express how I feel and share my fear for the future. I want to bring more meaning to my work and create a strong message for all the people out there. I hope my art will be louder and clearer than words.
The time to act is now.
Last one in the Whitethroat set. This time within its environment.

Excerpt from www.teamlab.art/ew/resonating_microcosms_mossgarden_plane...:
Moss Garden of Resonating Microcosms - Solidified Light Color, Dusk to Dawn
Ovoids that change appearance with the sunrise and sunset are laid out in the moss garden.
With sunrise, the ovoids begin to reflect the world around them. When pushed down by a person or blown by the wind, the ovoid falls back and then rises, releasing a resonating tone. The ovoids around it also respond one after another, continuing to resonate with the same tone.
As the sun sets, the ovoids shine by themselves. When an ovoid is pushed by a person or blown by the wind, it shines brightly and emits a sound tone, as it rights itself. The ovoids around it also respond one after another, emitting the same light color and sound tone that continues to resonate out.
The space of the work is interactively transformed under the influence of the wind, rain, and the behavior of the people in the space, making the environment and the people a part of the work. When the wind is quiet and people are still, the ovoids begin to flicker slowly.
teamLab is experimenting with the concept of color. The ovoids can change into a total of 61 newly-defined Solidified Light Colors.
It is said that mosses were the first terrestrial organisms to appear in a world of rocks and sand, where there was no life on land yet. As mosses and ferns appeared and forests were created, a variety of animals became able to live on land.
Since water inside cells is essential for living things, if the body lacks water, it will die. Mosses, on the other hand, are poikilohydric, meaning the water content in the cells change according to surrounding humidity levels. So moss will not die during long dry periods, and they come back to life when given water. Because mosses are poikilohydric, their color and shape change dramatically when the air is dry versus when it is wet, such as when there is rain or fog.
Tardigrades, which live in moss, also go into a non-metabolic state of dormancy when the surrounding environment becomes dry, but they revive and become active when there is water. The state that tardigrades enter, when they are neither living nor dead, is called cryptobiosis. This may cause us to consider what it means to be alive.

Air pollution is contamination of the indoor or outdoor environment by any chemical, physical or biological agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere.
Household combustion devices, motor vehicles, industrial facilities and forest fires are common sources of air pollution. Pollutants of major public health concern include particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Outdoor and indoor air pollution cause respiratory and other diseases and are important sources of morbidity and mortality.
Air quality is closely linked to the earth’s climate and ecosystems globally. Policies to reduce air pollution, therefore, offer a win-win strategy for both climate and health, lowering the burden of disease attributable to air pollution, as well as contributing to the near- and long-term mitigation of climate change.
As much as I enjoy seeing the birds flying in a clean blue sky, I think I prefer alot of them with the 'beautiful environmen't being included in the background. These shots were taken minutes from each other as I was standing in the same location.
Today, these cooling towers at Cottam Power Station in Nottinghamshire were blown up in the name of the environment. Never again will I be able to shoot this view!

Thank you for your visit, most appreciated!
Yellowstone NP is a place that I frequent at least a few times each year. It's an environment that is truly rich in diversity ... geysers, thermal grounds, canyons, lakes, rivers, valleys ... and that doesn't even touch the vast variety of wildlife it contains. This image was taken last spring and it's quite special to me. See, when I photograph wildlife, I tend to want to focus in on the animal ... its beauty, uniqueness, textures of the fur, behavioral aspects, and such. It's difficult for me to pull back on my scope and show the rest of the story ... the vastness of the landscape, the perspective of the animal within its surroundings, the environment that it lives within. To me, it's necessary though to tell their story. These are not zoo animals, but wild animals living within an ever-changing habitat. Their struggle is real.
I had planned to arrive back in Yellowstone on Saturday for some winter funtime there, meeting up with Tom who has been out west 2-3 weeks snowboarding with friends. I was so longing to get back to nature and breathe in the fresh air, feel the cold air against my cheeks, and renew my soul. I've had to take a raincheck as they say and now am waiting for Tom to return home this morning. It's all good though ... just means that something wonderful is meant for us at our new date for our return. Still it makes me a bit sad that it's not today. With scenes like this, how could it not. :-)
Thanks for stopping by to view. Happy Thursday! Weekend is almost here, so hang in there.
