Peace is a journey
Of a thousand miles
And it must be taken
One step at a time.
I was back in Grunewald again to walk Bobby a few days ago and there are so many fallen / chopped down trees, quite literally littering the forest floor, which was annoying and a little depressing to see. But that said, some of the older carcasses so to speak, were already becoming somewhat consumed by moss and fungi, this tree was no exemption. A falling for one is a growth opportunity for another and so nature continues and reclaims as it does.
Albeit this is on a spectacularly smaller scale, I cannot help think of places like New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and Pripyat after Chernobyl, ought to be a sobering reminder that the only true god like deity that exists is Mother Nature / Gaia. That which always, fights back, wins out and reclaims. Every single time!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

We sometimes go hiking at nearby Rancho San Antonio in Cupertino, California. On the way there is a farm called Deer Hollow Farm. I spotted these cattle/pig stairs, used to load the animals onto wagons/trucks in the old days. Nature is slowly reclaiming the contraption.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure.

Bunschoten-Spakenburg is a medieval town first named in 1294 and received it's city rights by the Bishop of Utrecht in 1383. Because of these rights the citizens were allowed to build an earthen wall around the town. The fortifications didn't last long however because a part of the town was destroyed in 1427 in a war between two rival Bishops and the wall was never rebuilt. It was originally a very important fishing villiage since it was part of a wide, open valley of the river Eem. Their main catch was paling, which is still a favorite of the Dutch today.
A century after Bunschoten was first mentioned, the settlement of Spakenburg developed. Originally the two towns were separated by a river inlet but much has happened in their history to change the lay of the land. Because of the location on the coast of what was then the Zuiderzee (a shallow bay on the Northsea), many floods inundated the area which caused the towns to become isolated.
So dikes were built to hold back the sea and stay the floods, this also caused new land to be created behind the dikes, this land (polder in Dutch) was often below sealevel and needed drainage and pumps to remain dry even if the dikes held, a big disadvantage of the dikes was that it limited access to the sea.
In the early 1900's the prosperous fishing harbor boasted over 200 ships but the closing of the "Zuiderzee" after the floods 1916 and further reclaiming of land after that period brought an end to that. No commercial fishing is now done from this area but heritage wooden vessels are still being built and repaired here.
“Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.”

I've been hunting around over several visits looking for composition in this area. The light initially was too hash, but after the sun dipped behind cloud it produced a nice bit of reflected light. Used the rock as interest surrounded by the heather & being reclaimed to the land.
Thanks for looking.
Everything that comes from this earth will eventually go back to it.
Nature-reclaimed building found at HoPe at Syn Isles
I shall let Nature reclaim me, this heart will beat once more with the strength of her in me..
Many Thankyou's for browsing at my work, I am so appreciative of comments and awards given to me. Nothing is wasted.
LS&I's 7 Tilden is chugging upgrade between Palmer Line Junction and Eagle Mills Junction with 60 loads from Tilden Mine.
In the background is the long dormant Tracy Mine. Opened in the early 1950s and closed in the early 1970s, LS&I built a new right of way (the one the train is on) to access the underground mine via two connection tracks, one of which swung off just ahead of the lead locomotive.
Like so many other dead mines in the area, Mother Nature is slowly reclaiming what it can of the property.
I was amazed to stumble across half a block of mostly hidden abandoned row houses in the middle of north Detroit. The surrounding blocks are mostly empty now. Just vacant overgrown lots and dark empty buildings.
This old BMW was abandoned in Bayhurst Wood many years ago and has now been almost reclaimed by nature.
The abandoned car back in 2012 in comments:

Annesley All Saints or "Old Church" dates to 1356. It was abandoned in 1874 after the focus of the community shifted eastwards towards a new coal mine. A new church was consecrated closer to the miner's houses and this one fell into ruin. There are great views of the ruins of Annesley hall, which stand on private land, from the Churchyard. Annesley, Nottinghamshire, UK.
This image is from an evening spent at Covehithe in suffolk, I waited for almost 2 hours for the tide to come in and surround this second world war pill box.
Nobody live in these Peruvian makeshift houses or has intention to live there. Building one of them may give one day the right to the builder to reclaim the ownership of the land.
