Fewer wildfires, great biodiversity: what is the secret to the success of Mexico’s forests?
More than half of the country’s forestry is in community and Indigenous hands – and from CO2 absorption to reducing poverty the results are impressiveLinda Farthing (The Guardian)

Haunting Sounds From The World's Largest Living Thing Recorded : ScienceAlert
We can now hear one of the largest and most ancient living organisms on Earth whisper with the tremble of a million leaves echoing through its roots.Tessa Koumoundouros (ScienceAlert)

October 1, 1983: After crossing Pollywog Stream on a logging road bridge, the AT proceeded to Rainbow Stream, which it followed for a good distance upstream, passing a long series of cascades and small waterfalls in the boulder-strewn shallow waters.

August 31, 1983: The Appalachian Trail followed some dirt roads through a pleasant farm valley encircled by mountains and reentered the forest to begin a rather taxing climb up to Holts Ledge, the first real mountain it had thus far traversed in New Hampshire. It kept turning onto one woods road after another, and each was a bit steeper than the preceding one.

Pictured: Pen Mar Park from High Rock.
July 14, 1983: Entering Pen Mar Park was a relief. In the years around 1900, this spot was billed as the Coney Island of the Blue Ridge, with an amusement park, seven hotels and about a hundred boarding houses. After years of slow decline, the park was forced out of business by World War II gas rationing in 1943.

September 1, 1983: The trail down the far side of Smarts Mountain was in worse shape than the ascent had been, but what did that matter to a man surrounded by that kind of magnificence? The AT lunged downward across more of those dripping, mossy rocks.

For #silentsunday Winter window views.
Photographers will understand:
You get SO EXITED about a cool thing, you WILL hang out of windows / contort at weird angles *trying* to get the perfect shot.
MUCH much later:
1: Slowly realise how bloody freezing you are (in pyjamas/ forgot a coat)
2. How much your back now hurts :(
I think that's so important, not kit or ability level. The fun part. The silly part.

This isn't one of my best captures—limitations of smartphone photography—but I'm sharing because I'd like to know if anyone else has seen something like this. Note that almost every limb of the subject tree is wavy. None of the tree's neighbors, all the same type of tree, had wavy branches like that. Knowing what I know about how trees grow, I can only guess that the shape of this tree's branches had something to do with the quality of light it was receiving as those limbs grew: how much light, the pattern of light and shadows cast by neighbors, etc. Any science hippies here in the Federation have any further insight to impart?
