Some days ago there came the news that the government promises to save the Hambach Forest!
Now it came out how they want to "save" it -
The plan is to dig around the main part of the remaining forest, so that it will end up as an peninsula surrounded by a desert that is 45° C hot in summer.
Waht does this mean ? The humid air will be sucked out of the forest by the air currents which result from the immense temperature difference between pit and forest (x) ; and second, the groundwater will flow on all sides into the pit, which is more than 400 meters deep
Impossible for the eco system to survive that!
Which sick brain created such a mad plan?

Le Ginkgo biloba ou « arbre aux quarante écus » ou « arbre aux mille écus » (银杏 yínxìng en chinois) est la seule espèce actuelle de la famille des Ginkgoaceae. On en connaît sept autres espèces maintenant fossiles et le ginkgo est considéré comme une forme panchronique (dite aussi, en termes plus communs, fossile vivant). C'est la plus ancienne famille d'arbres connue, puisqu'elle serait apparue il y a plus de 270 Ma. Elle existait déjà une quarantaine de millions d'années avant l'apparition des dinosaures. C'est le seul arbre capable de survivre à la bombe atomique !

À travers le temps et l’espace
Il y a quelques semaines, j’ai embarqué pour un road trip dans la Drôme (région de France) avec un ami. Nous avons passé nos journées à repérer les meilleurs spots, et nos nuits à faire de l’astrophoto, profitant de la faible pollution lumineuse de la région. Lors d’une ascension sur une paroi rocheuse, j’ai découvert par hasard un fossile d’ammonite parfaitement conservé, gravé dans la pierre au pied d’une falaise datant du Berriasien!
Le Berriasien, premier étage du Crétacé inférieur, correspond à une période de 145 à 139 millions d’années, marquée par la dominance des dinosaures et l’émergence des premiers oiseaux. Les ammonites, ces mollusques marins en spirale, sont des témoins précieux de cette époque, offrant des indices sur les environnements marins d’alors et permettant de dater les couches géologiques…
La nuit suivante, nous sommes revenus sur ce site pour capturer cette image : le fossile d’ammonite au premier plan, encadré par l’immensité de la Voie lactée en arrière-plan. Cette photo symbolise une rencontre entre deux infinis : l’ancienneté abyssale de la Terre et l’immensité sans fin du cosmos, réunis en un instant intemporel.
Une piqûre de rappel que nous ne sommes que de passage... L’homme n’était pas présent lorsque cette ammonite vivait, et un jour, il ne sera sûrement plus là pour contempler les étoiles (surtout si on continue sur cette lancée…)

Across Time and Space
A few weeks ago, I set off on a road trip in the Drôme (a region in France) with a friend. We spent our days scouting the best spots and our nights doing astrophotography, taking advantage of the region's low light pollution. During a climb up a rocky wall, I accidentally discovered a perfectly preserved ammonite fossil, etched into the stone at the base of a cliff dating back to the Berriasian!
The Berriasian, the first stage of the Lower Cretaceous, corresponds to a period from 145 to 139 million years ago, marked by the dominance of dinosaurs and the emergence of the first birds. Ammonites, these spiral marine mollusks, are valuable witnesses of this era, offering clues about the marine environments of the time and helping to date geological layers...
The next night, we returned to this site to capture this image: the ammonite fossil in the foreground, framed by the vastness of the Milky Way in the background. This photo symbolizes a meeting of two infinities: the abyssal antiquity of the Earth and the endless immensity of the cosmos, brought together in a timeless moment.
A reminder that we are merely passing through... Humans were not around when this ammonite lived, and one day, we likely won’t be here to gaze at the stars (especially if we continue on this path...)

Dhanushkodi has the only land border between India and Sri Lanka which is one of the smallest in the world-just 45 meters in length on a shoal in Palk Strait. Before the 1964 cyclone, Dhanushkodi was a flourishing tourist and pilgrimage town. Since Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) is just 19 miles (31 km) away, there were many ferry services between Dhanushkodi and Talaimannar of Ceylon, transporting travellers and goods across the sea. There were hotels, textile shops and dharmashalas catering to these pilgrims and travellers. The railway line to Dhanushkodi—which did not touch Rameswaram then and was destroyed in the 1964 cyclone—went directly from Mandapam to Dhanushkodi. Dhanushkodi in those days had a railway station, a small railway hospital, primary schools, a post office, customs and port offices, and other buildings.

Dear friends, Happy Easter!
or - if you deny the existence of egg-bearing hares - a nice time, anyway!
Dear all,
I've been away for a while now. I'm very busy this year and just to make things worse, I had a pretty nasty flu which hampered me considerably for nearly two months.
So it will take more time than usual to answer your comments and pay a visit to your sites. I can only apologize for these shortcommings. Please be patient with me. Best,

as every year with my short review in pictures and words:
It was a really special year, dominated by the global COVID-19 pandemic with more than 81 million of confirmed cases and 1.772.325 deaths in more than 190 countries up to now.
Unfortunately the virus pandemic and the US elections pushed another even more serious global problem into the background even if there were enough proves of the ecological crisis with the major bushfires in Australia, the gigafire in California between July and November, the devastating fires in Brazil as well as extreme locust infestations, floods, droughts, heat waves and hurricanes in various parts of the world.
On the other hand, the Covid-19 pandemic with all the security measures like travel restrictions, increased work in home office to avoid physical contacts, production shutdowns in factories temporarily reduced the emission of carbon dioxide and other climate killers.
But it is to be feared that the "back to normal", when vaccination becomes more widespread and effective, will undo these unintentional 'successes' again.
It also was the second warmest year since the beginning of weather records in 1891 and it was the third much too dry year in a row in Germany that resulted in the death of millions of trees in our forests. E.g. in the city forest of Frankfurt (Stadtwald) more than every tenth tree is dead - 98 percent diseased.
That's why we must not let up in the new year trying everything possible to improve our environmental conditions by avoiding waste and food waste, by reducing fossil fuels wherever possible and by changing our priorities away from profit and towards the common good for all living beings on this planet.
After this 'twitter president' with his year long fake tweets proved in the end to be nothing but a bad sportsman and an even worse loser in the US elections, let us hope that the newly elected US president and his team will be able to set a positive example for a worldwide effort to still prevent the environmental disaster.
I also wish 'Little Britain' and my friends in the 'divided Kingdom' good luck for their nationalist future.
It is a pity that you leave the European Union ... or better, had to leave because of 'mini-Trump' BoJo.
The personal highlight of this year for my wife and me was the 'Big Cat' trip to Rajasthan and Gujarat in India in February - just in time before the global travel resticitions - and to see and photograph Tigers, Asian Leopards and the last Asiatic lions in the wild. Short trips later in the year to Lake Constance and the island of La Palma we unfortunately had to cancel.
As every year I want to say thank you to my friends, contacts and all other users here on Flickr for your untiring support of my work with views, comments, invites and faves throughout the whole year,
for your friendship and all your excellent photos, which are impressing me every day anew.
2021 will mark a big change for me as I will retire in late summer after almost 28 years in the IT department of the German National Library to enjoy a new, hopefully creative freedom afterwards.
So let's look forward to new photo opportunities, new views, marvellous colours and a hopefully healthy and peaceful HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021 for us all !!

Zeit zum Abschied von 2020
mit einem kurzen Rückblick in ein paar Worten und Bildern:
Es war ein sehr spezielles Jahr, dominiert von der weltweiten COVID-19-Pandemie mit bisher mehr als 81 Millionen bestätigten Infektionen und 1.772.325 Todesfällen in mehr als 190 Ländern.
Leider haben die Virus-Pandemie und die US-Wahlen ein anderes, noch viel schwerwiegenderes globales Problem in den Hintergrund gedrängt, auch wenn es wieder genügend Beweise für die ökologische Krise mit z.B. den großen Buschbränden in Australien, dem Gigafire in Kalifornien zwischen Juli und November, den verheerenden Bränden in Brasilien sowie Heuschreckenplagen, Überflutungen, Dürren, Hitzewellen und Wirbelstürme in den verschiedensten Teilen der Erde gab.
Andererseits hat die Covid-19-Pandemie mit all den Sicherheitsmaßnahmen wie Reisebeschränkungen, vermehrter Arbeit im Home Office zur Kontakt-Vermeidung in Büro und ÖPNV sowie Produktionsstilllegungen in Fabriken den Ausstoß von CO2 und anderen Klimakillern vorübergehend reduziert.
Aber es ist zu befürchten, dass das "back to normal", wenn die Impfungungen massenhaft und wirksam werden, diese ungewollten "Erfolge" wieder zunichte macht.
Es war auch das zweitwärmste Jahr seit Beginn der Wetteraufzeichnungen im Jahr 1891 und es war das dritte viel zu trockene Jahr in Folge in Deutschland, das zum Absterben von Millionen von Bäumen in unseren Wäldern führte. So ist z.B. im Frankfurter Stadtwald mehr als jeder zehnte Baum abgestorben - 98 Prozent sind krank.
Deshalb dürfen wir auch im neuen Jahr nicht nachlassen, alles zu versuchen, um unsere Umweltbedingungen zu verbessern, indem wir Müll und Lebensmittelverschwendung vermeiden, fossile Brennstoffe reduzieren wo immer es geht und unsere Prioritäten endlich weg vom Profit und hin zum Gemeinwohl für alle Lebewesen auf diesem Planeten ändern.
Nachdem sich dieser "Twitter-Präsident" mit seinen jahrelangen Fake-Tweets am Ende nur als schlechter Sportsmann und noch schlechterer Verlierer der US-Wahlen erwiesen hat, bleibt zu hoffen, dass der neu gewählte US-Präsident und sein Team ein positives Beispiel für eine weltweite Anstrengung setzen können, um die Umweltkatastrophe noch zu verhindern.
Außerdem wünsche ich 'Little Britain' und meinen Freunden im 'gespaltenen Königreich' viel Glück für ihre nationalistische Zukunft.
Schade daß Ihr die Europäische Gemeinschaft verlasst bzw. wegen 'Mini-Trump' BoJo verlassen müsst.
Der persönliche Höhepunkt dieses Jahres war für meine Frau und mich die "Big Cat"-Safari nach Rajasthan und Gujarat in Indien im Februar - gerade noch rechtzeitig vor den weltweiten Reiseverboten -, um Tiger, Asiatische Leoparden und die letzten Asiatischen Löwen in freier Wildbahn zu sehen und zu fotografieren. Kurztrips später im Jahr an den Bodensee und auf die Insel La Palma mussten wir leider absagen.
Ganz lieben Dank an alle Flickr-Freunde, -Kontakte und -User für all die vielen Klicks, Kommentare, Gruppeneinladungen und Favoriten während des vergangenen Jahres, für Eure Freundschaft und die unzähligen hervorragenden Bilder, die mir Tag für Tag Anregungen für eigene Bilder sind oder mir einfach nur Freude beim Betrachten gemacht haben.
In 2021 wird es für mich eine große Veränderung geben, da ich im Spätsommer nach fast 28 Jahren in der IT-Abteilung der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek in den Ruhestand gehen werde, um danach die neue, hoffentlich kreative Freiheit zu genießen.
Nun freue ich mich mit Euch auf neue Bildideeen und Blickwinkel, auf fantastische Farben und Formen
und auf ein hoffentlich gutes, gesundes, friedlicheres und erfreuliches 2021 ... einen guten Rutsch !

🇫🇷 suite de la plante "fossile"
Les feuilles peuvent atteindre une longueur de 2 à 4 mètres et sont généralement divisées en bandes longitudinales, ce qui peut parfois masquer le fait qu'il n'y a que deux feuilles à l'origine. Elles poussent à une vitesse d'environ un demi-millimètre par jour, ce qui, combiné à l'âge des plantes, donnerait des feuilles très longues, mais elles sont continuellement diminuées par les conditions atmosphériques, l'abrasion due aux tempêtes de sable, et les animaux .Les plantes mâles et femelles sont distinctes Le climat auquel Welwitschia a dû s'adapter est devenu de plus en plus sec aux cours des derniers millions d'années : elle ne survit aujourd'hui que grâce aux brouillards, ce qui limite son aire à la zone côtière.
🇬🇧 more about the "fossil" plant
The leaves can reach a length of 2 to 4 metres and are generally divided into longitudinal bands, which can sometimes disguise the fact that there are only two leaves to begin with. They grow at a rate of about half a millimetre a day, which, combined with the age of the plants, would give very long leaves, but they are continually diminished by atmospheric conditions, abrasion from sandstorms, and animals the male and female plants being distinct The climate to which Welwitschia has had to adapt has become increasingly dry over the last few million years: today it survives only on fog, which limits its range to the coastal zone.
🇩🇪 Fortsetzung der "fossilen" Pflanze
Die Blätter können eine Länge von 2 bis 4 Metern erreichen und sind meist in Längsstreifen geteilt, was manchmal die Tatsache verschleiert, dass es ursprünglich nur zwei Blätter gibt. Sie wachsen mit einer Geschwindigkeit von etwa einem halben Millimeter pro Tag, was in Kombination mit dem Alter der Pflanzen zu sehr langen Blättern führen würde, die jedoch durch Witterungseinflüsse, Abrieb durch Sandstürme und Tiere ständig verringert werden männliche und weibliche Pflanzen unterscheiden sich Das Klima, an das sich Welwitschia anpassen musste, wurde in den letzten Millionen Jahren immer trockener: Heute kann sie nur noch dank Nebel überleben, was ihr Areal auf die Küstenregionen beschränkt.
🇪🇸 más sobre la planta "fósil
Las hojas pueden alcanzar una longitud de 2 a 4 metros y suelen estar divididas en bandas longitudinales, que a veces pueden disimular el hecho de que, para empezar, sólo hay dos hojas. Crecen a un ritmo de medio milímetro al día, lo que, unido a la edad de las plantas, daría hojas muy largas, pero éstas disminuyen continuamente por las condiciones atmosféricas, la abrasión de las tormentas de arena y los animales las plantas macho y hembra son distintas El clima al que ha tenido que adaptarse la Welwitschia se ha vuelto cada vez más seco en los últimos millones de años: hoy sólo sobrevive de la niebla, lo que limita su área de distribución a la zona costera.
Il nome della specie (biloba) deriva dal latino bis e lobus con riferimento alla divisione in due lobi delle foglie. (wiki)

The Los Cardones National Park is a national park of Argentina, located in the center-west of the province of Salta, within the San Carlos and Cachi Departments, in the Argentine Northwest.
The park has an area of 650 square kilometres, with hills and ravines at the height levels between 2,700 m and 5,000 m. It gets its name from the prevalence of cardones bush formations. It features fossile remains of extinct animals, as well as dinosaur tracks.
The protected area was created in 1996, when the National Parks Administration acquired the land from private owners.
