Forest Goth

A peaceful, light-dappled ornamental pond in the Queen Victoria Gardens in Melbourne, surrounded by greenery in the form of plane trees ferns, and tree ferns. The statue in the middle of the image is Baroness Yrsa Von Leistner's Phoenix (1973) - read more about it here: https://citycollection.melbourne.vic.gov.au/the-phoenix/

This morning in Melbourne ...

The mossy roots of old spruce trees snaking along the forest floor, partly covered in snow.

A forest knows things. They wire themselves up underground. There are brains down there, ones our own brains aren’t shaped to see. Root plasticity, solving problems and making decisions. Fungal synapses. Link enough trees together, and a forest grows aware. 💚
― Richard Powers

#ForestFriday #ECK

Looking out over basalt rocks at Williamstown Beach at low tide.

Lunchtime visit to a favourite stretch of Victorian coastline.

Looking up to the blue sky, sunlight shines through tall trees in a forest… a fallen tree trunk lies on the ground… green plants and grass grow around it.

Good morning and happy Friday, BS 🦋….
a sunshine memory to take us into the day… Wishing you a bright end to the week and a wonderful weekend.
☕️☀️🌿💛🌳🌱✨🥂

Sunlight lays its blade on the water;
the sea keeps breaking its bright teeth
on the brown throat of the shore.
I stand on the cliff, salt in my lungs,
and think of you: a far blue yes
that returns, wave after wave, to name me.

A foot path - lined by forest ferns, vegetation and trees - disappearing off into the distance.

Do you ever see an image of a path in the woods and daydream about what’s at the end of the path? I do…🌱🌳

How ‘forest bathing’ keeps lungs healthy Wooded environments release organic compounds that seem to improve respiratory health, but the magnitude and mechanism of the effect remains unclear.

Morning all. Not too hot, not too cool and no wind - pretty much perfect! Enjoy the Day🌞

A moody seascape at Williamstown beach, with sunlight peeking through grey clouds, a rolling greyish sea, and black basalt rocks in the lower right foreground. This photo is from around 2017.

I miss these views.

Photography gig tonight. Hope the interior lighting is not awful.

🥳 Bonne année ! / ¡Feliz año nuevo! / Happy New Year from us at Global Forest Coalition 🎉🎊🍾

Istrehågan gravplass (500 f.Kr.–1000 e.Kr.).

Herbs and flowers in glass vases, a white planter in the shape of Edgar Allan Poe's head with a fern in it, crystals and crystal geodes, a baby Chinese Money plant in a black 3D printed pot, a Cemeterrarium, a tiny pinecone, a small, long, white ceramic plate with two round chocolates on it, and a glass teacup filled with deep orange black tea.

Today's afternoon tea ... Twinings Earl Grey tea with two signature orbs from Sisko Chocolate.

Potted up all the cuttings I had on my windowsill. Not going to grow any more until the weather conditions change and we start getting rain again.

I've never heard it spoken before. It's different to what I'd been expecting; softer, almost.

Continuing to be fascinated by the Helsinki Crime series. Also intrigued by the rhythm of the Finnish dialogue in it.

Trois magnifiques troncs d’arbres, dans un bourg… au loin architecture ancienne d’un édifice sans doute religieux (au milieu d’un cimetière caché par une haie) sol pavé ou caillouteux…

Between two people,
it sometimes happens
very rarely-
that a world is born.
A tiny microcosm
where one can always find refuge
from a world that is collapsing.
-Hannah Arendt

Be well, warriors.🖤

May 30, 2020. Peonies.

It feels like a lot of people are mentally checking out of work-related duties at present, too. Makes it harder to get my work done.

So many organisations are now generating their own low-grade marketing assets using AI (or, in many cases, Canva) and I hate it. ☹️

These gardens aren't too bad for allergies, despite all the different species present. Blackwood always smells nice because of the forests.
