Trees often get very creative finding a way to cast permanent roots and I have been a keen observer for many years. One year, I even focused on trees along trails with my "In the Woods" series but that one ... #etbtsy

We last longer when we are firmly rooted.
Have you ever thought about which living species has the longest life span. It is the trees of the world. Some of the trees are essentially hundreds of years old, and some even thousands.
Have you ever wondered whether this could be because it remains firmly rooted to the earth, and living in harmony with the environment it depends on.
All the species of life which moves live for a shorter time. While these lovely trees seem to live for ever.
Interestingly we seem to think that its a boring life for the trees. Yet it attracts so many things to it, even if it remains there. Birds come and build nests. Insects and other critters create colonies in it. Even humans come and enjoy its shade. A whole social scene seems to be happening around it.
Metaphorically, how does this translate to our human pysche? Will we live longer and more stable if we are firmly rooted to some of our values? Lets reflect.

Just mucking around.
I've always wondered what rootedness must be like for our vegetative friends. Imagine, not being able to escape the elements. Or animals. Or insects. Things chewing on you... peeing on you... pausing on you... hollowing out parts of you and raising their families there...
Um... whenever I post something like this, I think of R Crumb. Or... more to the point, his older brother, who was also an artist. He died fairly young, and left behind a series of books, in which he'd done his drawings through the years. Looking back, you could clearly see the reflection of his burgeoning mental illness. I saw a similar series of images recently... paintings by... hmmm, Monet? Tracking the degeneration of his eyesight.
Um... yeah. So I sometimes wonder if I'm tracking my own mental decline here on Flickr... my own downward spiral into ever-weirder levels of weirdness...
Good thing that stuff is only visible in hindsight, after someone's dead and gone. (Although, I have been reading about the brain damage caused by migraines... and how it's cumulative... and how, over a lifetime, a migraineur's cognitive abilities are seriously eroded... )
A tree that likes wet feet. I am constantly amazed by the patterns of tree roots in the rain forest - they are so different to those I am used to
That intense connectedness you feel with trees. The roots that blending modes the best was fan coral augmented with hand done lines.
Great scene spotted on a night out with Phill at a great location in Dorset. With Phill being a lot more agile, possibly from the consumption of artisan spiced beef jerky, we let him light the scene with the Back Light Scanner. It was his chance to prove that he possessed the re-imaginon and was worthy of becoming the third member of LACE. But the task had only just begun.

It's been a while since I've been in the forest, and oh, how I've missed it. Being there when it's misty is a different kind of magic. While I love green and lush landscapes, I have to admit that I'm more drawn to mysterious and atmospheric landscapes.

Many rooms at the Abandoned Arts College had a layer of water, on the floors surface. This room was dry but shows signs of past water damage!
Rue de Forgerons in the old town of Kaysersberg, Alsace, France
Some background information:
Kaysersberg is a historical town in the Alsace region in northeastern France. The town’s name is German meaning "Emperor’s mountain" in English. Kaysersberg is located in the French department of Haut-Rhin and belongs to the arrondissement of Colmar-Ribeauvillé as well as to the canton of Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines. It has a population of almost 2,500 and is situated just about 12 km (7.5 miles) to the northwest of the city of Colmar.
Kaysersberg is traversed by the River Weiss, a tributary of the larger River Fecht, which is just 24 km (15 miles) in length. The town’s municipal area belongs to the Ballons des Vosges Nature Park, lies on the eastern slopes of the Vosges and also borders on the Alsace Wine Route.
In 1227, Kaysersberg was first mentioned in a document, but most likely there was already a settlement on the same spot in the Roman Age. In the Middle Ages, the valley of the River Weiss became an important trade route between the Rhine plain to the east of Kaysersberg and the duchy of Lorraine to the northwest.
The Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II Barbarossa from the noble dynasty of Hohenstaufen passed the ideally situated settlement to his imperial bailiff Woelflin and tasked him with its fortification. Back then a castle overlooking the village and the River Weiss already existed, whose ruins still dominate today’s town. In 1293, Kaysersberg, which flourished swiftly because of brisk trading, was bestowed town privilege.
After having become a free imperial city in 1353, Kaysersberg joined the newly founded Décapole just one year later. The Décapole was an alliance of ten imperial cities of the Holy Roman Empire in the Alsace region, formed in 1354 with the goal of maintaining their rights. Shortly afterwards also winegrowing gained in importance. It is said that in the 16th century, the then imperial bailiff Lazarus von Schwendi, who was a military leader of the imperial forces against the advancing Turkish troops in Hungary, brought Tokaji vine from there with him.
The Thirty Years War was disastrous for the city’s economy, as it was for the rest of Alsace. At the end of the war, Kaysersberg even had to hypothecate its bells to the city of Basel. After the Peace of Westphalia had ended the Thirty Years' War in 1648, Kaysersberg passed to the French King Louis XIV and from then on stayed French, except for the period between 1871 and 1918 where it belonged to the German Empire again, and another short period between 1940 and 1945, where it was part of Nazi Germany.
It should also be mentioned that the town’s most famous son is Albert Schweitzer, who received the Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophy of "Reverence for Life" in 1952. Schweitzer was born in Kaysersberg and a museum in the town is dedicated to this well-known Alsatian theologian, organist, philosopher, physician, and medical missionary.
Today, Kaysersberg belongs to a number of cities and villages along the Alsace Wine Route that attract a large crowd of visitors due to their famous wines and their medieval as well as Renaissance appearance. These gems are often made up of old medieval ramparts, winding alleyways that bloom with magnificent geraniums, wine taverns, vaults, half-timbered houses, and medieval churches. Kaysersberg is one of those names that have become synonymous with rich traditions, friendliness, prosperity and great wines.
The Vosges are a range of low mountains, which form the western boundary of the Upper Rhine Plain, while the German Palatine forest forms its eastern boundary. The Vosges’ highest peak is the Grand Ballon at 1,424 m (4,672 feet), followed by the Storkenkopf and the Hohneck. Two nature parks lie within the Vosges: the Ballons des Vosges Nature Park and the Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park. The Northern Vosges Nature Park and the Palatinate Forest Nature Park on the German side of the border form the cross-border UNESCO-designated Palatinate Forest-North Vosges Biosphere Reserve.
Years ago, an invasive species of trees at Stump Pass Beach were poisoned by the State of Florida. While many of these dead trees have succumbed to the ravages of storms and waves, a number still remain standing at the surf's edge. Along this mile stretch of beach on the Gulf of Mexico, seashells and shark teeth wash up, swimmers frolick in the waves and anglers fish the surf. White snowy egrets, least terns, and magnificent frigatebirds are found along its coastline. The park is located at the south end of Manasota Key, accessible from off I-75 at exit 191. Stump Pass Beach State Park is situated at the southwest corner of Charlotte County in southwestern Florida.
