Rothenburg ob der Tauber (or Rothenburg odT or just Rothenburg) is a town on the Romantic Road in Bavaria, Germany, about halfway in between Frankfurt and Munich. It is known for its medieval center (Altstadt), seemingly untouched by the passage of time, encircled by the undamaged 14th century town wall. In the Middle Ages, Rothenburg was a free imperial city, reaching its apex of prosperity under Bürgermeister Heinrich Toppler in the 15th century with a large population of 6,000 - much larger than Frankfurt and Munich at that time. Now Rothenburg is a small town and a big tourist attraction.

This Tree - it grows from the Rocks, it oversees and protects this amazing place "Cave Point"
We are living in unprecedented times and this little tree remains resilient over all temperatures, gales of wind, sleet, snow and waves that actually crash high enough to drench it and freeze on impact.
I find great strength from little tree !

The quarried landscapes' that I've visited of Snowdonia and North Wales I've always felt show the characteristics of the desirable personality trait of resilience.
But to me it is of no surprise really that if you look to our natural environment you can learn a thing or two.
A lone Hawthorn stands resilient on Went Hill, just above the cliffs at Birling Gap, East Sussex. If you ever venture this way, make sure the resident bull is happily laying down before crossing the field…couldn’t resist shooting this scene when two grazing sheep entered my frame…:-)
South Texas summers can be brutal, yet this tiny specimen fights for survival and thrives! Note the background buds that have been cooked by the heat.
I didn't know that blanket flowers were so tough. They're the only plants still blooming in my garden.
it’s mid-winter and these leaves are still hanging on. there’s a grove of trees to which i’m drawn. these leaves, at sunset, appear as if on fire; like golden lanterns. i often hoof through the snow to visit them. sometimes to photograph, sometimes just to watch. resilient, fiery, and beautiful leaves: they inspire me. tattered yet hopeful; vulnerable and brave. i’m trying to be like these leaves.

After a hike with Swiss friends at the Mills Canyon Park in Burlingame, I scouted for a good place with a clear view of airplanes landing at SFO, the San Francisco International airport. I found some dandelion blowballs in a local park. A dandelion blowball apparently has a spiritual meaning of surviving through all challenges and difficulties.

Precarious is a series of drawings about the delicate balance between life and death in landscapes once familiar but now utterly altered by human activity and carelessness. We have created a culture in which there is a constant flux between ugliness and beauty. We enter a state of grace through our art, writing, music, architecture, dance, yet we also leave behind islands of plastic garbage at sea and the hideous carcasses of industrialization that cannot be biologically reabsorbed into the earth.
The images in this group of drawings have a human presence evident in vestigial structures, yet there is absence too. The emotional impact of changes we have wrought on the planet cannot be denied. Brutal deforestation, fires, flooding, drought, accelerating rates of species extinction are disturbing, yet there is a fascination for them imposed on our consciousness.
There are events occurring that are dark, painful and contradictory, yet essential to contemplate and articulate. We have the capacity to reflect, to resist looking away. Precarious acknowledges the paradox of our ability to both create and destroy that exists within all of us. It is also part of my ongoing exploration of a deep connection with nature held by many of us. In a sense these drawings are both an expression of grief and a catharsis. The subject is a painful one that speaks to our vulnerability. There is beauty in decay, which is associated with nourishing new life. Yet will the immense changes taking place now lead to this outcome? What forms of life might survive? What others may unintentionally be generated?
There is material irony in this series about life on the edge. Charcoal is carbon, or burned and compressed organic material. Soft pastel pigments are mined. As such, there are elements of destruction within the creative process.

As many of you know, our area was ravaged by wildfires last year, including 10's of thousands of acres in Rocky Mountain National Park. We visited the west side of the park a couple months ago to see the damage, which at the time, was very sad and discouraging. However, this image is what it looks like today....it has gone from black and charred to signs of new growth everywhere, and the wildlife has returned to the area. It was so encouraging to see this and made my heart happy. Nature's resiliency is truly amazing.
Enjoy your day!!!
A true medieval gem, Rothenburg ob der Tauber (meaning ‘above the Tauber River’) is a top tourist stop along the Romantic Road. With its web of cobbled lanes, higgledy-piggledy houses and towered walls, the town is the archetypal fairy-tale Germany. Urban conservation orders here are the strictest in Germany – and at times it feels like a medieval theme park – but all’s forgiven in the evenings, when the lamplight casts its spell long after the last tour buses have left.
Originaire d'Afrique du Sud, le géranium-lierre a su conquérir le cœur des jardiniers du monde entier grâce à sa résilience et sa beauté. Introduit en Europe au XVIIe siècle, il a rapidement gagné en popularité.
Les fleurs de géranium-lierre sont appréciées pour leur capacité à repousser certains insectes.

After a very early start and a climb up Holme Fell in the dark, i had hoped for a sunrise, but, as the rest of the weekend had been grey, things did not look like improving.
As I was walking along the fell looking for angles I came across this tree, it was however being guarded by two other togs. Not wishing to photobomb them I carried on along the fell. On my way back they had disappeared so I had the chance to get in a bit closer to it. To my surprise the far fell lit up for about 30 seconds, the only sun I really saw all morning but at least i was in the right place
One of the eleven portraits in the exhibition Resilience 2049.
The portrait gallery depicts "the resilient", young people living in 2049 who are adapting to the climate disruption caused by previous generations. These are human beings who bear the wounds we inflict on them every day through our own inconsistency.
The exhibition is currently open at Michiel Bechir Art Gallery.
Teleport to the exhibition (the exhibition is 2nd floor on the right).

On a trail-less hike through the autumn woods above McClure Pass near Carbondale, Colorado, I discovered this intimate landscape scene - a lonely aspen tree holding on to life on a wind-swept ridge above the valley. The last light of the day shone on the tips of the trees branches, making it the real hero of this photograph. This particular ridge is one of the most fascinating locations I've ever seen - all across the ridge are withered, worn, twisted, and gnarled aspen trees - bent in odd directions and their growth stunted from years of wind and abuse on the ridgeline. This tree speaks to me - it reminds me that even through the most difficult time we can emerge as something beautiful and improved - thanks to resiliency.

at White Sands National Park.
Shot with Fuji X-T5 and 16-80mm lens.
My partner and I decided to spend the end of 2022 exploring the White Sands National Park, located south of Alamogordo, New Mexico. It was spur of the moment kind of trip and we did not know what to expect. Also, since it is a quite the drive from where we are in Arizona, 450 miles (720 km) so we said “it better be good!”. And what we saw was an amazing place like no other.
White Sands National Park covers 145,762 acres (227.8 sq mi; 589.9 sq km) in the Tularosa Basin, including the southern 41% of a 275 sq mi (710 sq km) field of white sand dunes composed of gypsum crystals. This gypsum dunefield is the largest of its kind on Earth, with a depth of about 30 feet (9.1 m), dunes as tall as 60 feet (18 m), and about 4.5 billion short tons (4.1 billion metric tons) of gypsum sand.
Approximately 12,000 years ago, the land within the Tularosa Basin featured large lakes, streams, grasslands, and Ice Age mammals. As the climate warmed, rain and snowmelt dissolved gypsum from the surrounding mountains and carried it into the basin. Further warming and drying caused the lakes to evaporate and form selenite crystals. Strong winds then broke up crystals and transported them eastward. A similar process continues to produce gypsum sand today.
The park is located about 15 miles (25 km) south of Alamogordo, in the state of New Mexico, USA.
