In the heart of Prague, whispers abound of an ethereal presence that roams the cobbled streets, a legend woven into the tapestry of the city's folklore. Tales speak of the Prague Ghost, a spectral being that emerges from the shadows, donning the guise of a mortal, blending seamlessly into the urban landscape.
Ghost Forest is a major art installation consisting of 10 primary rainforest tree stumps which were brought to Europe from a commercially logged forest in Western Africa by the artist Angela Palmer (www.angelaspalmer.com). The work is intended to highlight the alarming depletion of the world's natural resources, and in particular the continued rate of deforestation. Today, a tropical forest the size of a football pitch is destroyed every four seconds, impacting on climate, biodiversity and the livelihoods of indigenous people. The trees in Ghost Forest - most of which fell naturally in storms - are intended to represent rainforest trees worldwide; the absence of their trunks is presented as a metaphor for the removal of the world's lungs caused through the loss of our forests.
The tree stumps were exhibited as a “ghost forest” in Trafalgar Square in London last November (2009), and then in Copenhagen in December (2009) during the UN's Climate Change Conference. In July this year (2010) Ghost Forest will be exhibited for a year on the lawn of Oxford University's Museum of Natural History and the Pitt Rivers Museum. The exhibition will coincide with the Museum of Natural History's 150th anniversary this year, and the UN's International Year of Biodiversity. In 2011 it is the UN's International Year of Forests.
Dahoma (Piptadeniastrum africanum) - this tree was logged in the Suhuma Forest, Western Ghana. The name Dahoma comes from Da (sleep), Ho (there), Ma (provides or gives). The name was given by hunters and farmers who used the spaces provided by the huge buttresses as a sleeping place.
This old cabin is at the entrance to Ghost Ranch. Mt.Pedernal is in the background.
Ghost Ranch is a land of towering sandstone cliffs in every imaginable shade of red, yellow and lavender, near the tiny town of Abiquiu in the Piedra Lumbre valley of northern New Mexico.
First a hideout for outlaws, then a dude ranch and the home of artist Georgia O’Keeffe, it is now a conference center. It has been my privilege to spend a week of vacation in this inspirational setting, taking a class titled “The Visible and the Invisible: Photography and Spirituality,” taught by David Young.

Chesterfield is a ghost town in Caribou County, Idaho.
Located along a route of the Oregon Trail, Chesterfield was founded by Mormon settlers in 1881. After a railroad line was built through Bancroft to the south, the community lost some of its momentum, and agricultural difficulties led to its desertion by the end of the 1930s.
In the foreground, the site of the former Bleicher's Drugstore. At left across 45th Street in the distance, the neighborhood newstand I mentioned previously. Right background: the former St. Cecelia's Church, demolished in 1973. It attached to the rectory where that light-color brick wall is; for years, the second-floor connecting door sat exposed and blocked by three nailed horizontal two-by-fours.

You think of shrimps and lobsters (crayfish) as backward “spurt swimmers” via their muscular tails. But ghost shrimps also swim very well in a forward direction – particularly when food hits the surface of the water. Their beady little eyes must be more than adequate because these little rascals push their way into the front of any food fight at the surface of the water. Perhaps they detect food by smell or via their delicate antennae. In any event, they let very little food escape. If you want to see a real wrassling match, feed a bunch of them a few live California blackworms.
Unlike fishes with mouths at the front of their faces, ghost shrimps cram food into an opening in what appears to be their chest. From this strange mouth, their food moves up behind their eyes where you can watch it curve back around and down into their stomachs. These food storage areas turn the same color as the food they eat. You can easily see thru their bodies during this process.
OMG, that is totally a ghost from one of the dead vineyard workers. It totally is! Its trying to give me a six-sided message.
Finke Gorge National Park is located in the central Australian desert country south west from Alice Springs. Access is along a rough sandy track which follows the Finke River. You have to drive over rocks so need a high clearance 4WD vehicle. It is the most beautiful place in Australia.
