There’s this place we walk by pretty regularly that’s semi-abandoned. The owner replaces parts when they fall off and there are lights at night, but the front and back have been left to return to nature. This chunk of land is worth ~$2.5M Canadian, so an odd situation. Anyhow, I enjoy watching the progress of the informal small-scale rewilding.

At the base of an old-looking lichen-covered tree, ivy is starting to climb. This is surrounded by miscellaneous leaf-strewn vegetation.

Mathematical models reveal a 'hidden order' in dryland vegetation worldwide
If you've ever traveled through drylands, you may have noticed striking vegetation patterns—stripes, spots, or rings—scattered across otherwise barren landscapes. From "tiger bush" in West Africa to the enigmatic "fairy circles" of Namibia, these patterns have long inspired wonder and scientific curiosity.

Alpine Wälder: Klimawandel bremst Baumwachstum
Der Klimawandel bremst das Wachstum wichtiger Baumarten im Alpenraum. Obwohl die Vegetationsperiode aufgrund steigender Temperaturen früher im Jahr beginnt, legen viele Bäume weniger Holz zu als noch vor einem Jahrzehnt, zeigt eine Schweizer Studie.

Favorite landscape and time of year.
(Upper glacial valleys are often so colorful and especially in autumn, when the colors of the many different types of rocks are complemented by those of the tundra vegetation up there... it's a harsh climate/environment, at the same time so peaceful/friendly [if the weather is right] — a feast for the eyes and good for the soul... yet, each time also a bittersweet experience, seeing how fast glaciers are disappearing)

View of a high alpine, rocky tundra landscape with low growth vegetation, some isolated larch trees and large sections of colorful red bedrock exposed. Large mountains in the background on the other side of the valley, their dry grassy slopes basking in the golden afternoon sun (unlike the foreground which is already in semi-shade). Clear blue sky with some small clouds.

The photography is by Arch-Exist.

A modern architectural structure with a sweeping arched roof and expansive glass facade, perched on a scenic hillside surrounded by greenery. The building features a curved outdoor deck supported by cylindrical columns and tiered wooden seating inside, where people are gathered in a relaxed, open setting.
An elevated wooden observation deck with a curved design, nestled into a lush green hillside. A person stands on the platform, gazing out over the dense vegetation, while the structure blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
A contemporary interior space with a sweeping arched wooden ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean. The room features tiered seating with sculptural wooden tables and chairs arranged in a semi-circle, while sunlight casts dramatic shadows across the curved surfaces. Outside, a wooden deck extends toward the water, where two people enjoy the coastal view.

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A tall high-rise building with many windows, viewed from below to emphasize vertical lines. A large dark structure, possibly an overpass or another building, cuts diagonally across the right side, creating a dramatic framing effect. At the bottom, trees and smaller buildings add depth to the urban setting. The sky is partly cloudy, and the overall tone is moody, with strong contrasts between light and shadow. 中文替代文字： 一栋高层建筑从低角度拍摄，窗户密集，垂直线条突出。画面右侧有一处巨…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A tall modern skyscraper photographed from a low angle, emphasizing its height and grid-like windows. In the foreground, a security camera mounted on a pole points upward, suggesting surveillance of the building and surrounding area. The sky is partly cloudy, adding texture to the background. At the base, smaller structures and vegetation are visible. The perspective highlights both the scale of the building and the presence of urban monitoring. 中文替代…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A uniquely shaped skyscraper dominates the skyline, with an hourglass-like design that is wider at the top and bottom but narrow in the middle. The photo is in black and white with a grainy texture, giving it a vintage or film noir feel. In the foreground, an elevated highway with vegetation runs across the frame, while smaller buildings and construction appear near the base. A power line cuts diagonally across the image.

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A concrete pavement with a large white arrow painted on the ground, pointing forward to indicate direction. On the left side of the arrow, four short black-and-white striped bollards stand in a row, acting as barriers or guides. The pavement surface shows stains and marks from frequent use. The right side of the image is darker due to shadow, while the left side is brighter, creating contrast. The scene suggests an urban walkway or vehicle path with c…

China's efforts to slow land degradation and climate change
by planting trees and restoring grasslands
have shifted water around the country in huge, unforeseen ways, new research shows.
Between 2001 and 2020, changes in vegetation cover reduced the amount of fresh water available for humans and ecosystems in the eastern monsoon region and northwestern arid region,
which together make up 74% of China's land area, according to a study published Oct. 4 in the jo…

China has planted so many trees it's changed the entire country's water distribution
Huge "regreening" efforts in China over the past few decades have activated the country's water cycle and moved water in ways that scientists are just now starting to understand.

Claude Sonnet 4 describes the image as: "This image shows two people in military-style camouflage clothing positioned among tall grass in what appears to be a rural, countryside setting. The scene has the appearance of a military or wartime scenario, with dense hedgerows and vegetation visible in the background. The individuals are crouched or positioned low among the golden-brown grass, suggesting they may be in a reconnaissance or tactical situation. The lighting and overall aesthetic of the …

On the way to Gepatschferner, September 2025... How I miss this place!
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

A small path leading through a high alpine tundra landscape, with colorful early autumn vegetation and rocks ranging in color from red/orange, dark purples and cold grays (in the background). Only a handful of small trees (larches) scattered here and there. Clear blue sky with some cloud shadows.

Content warning: Possible vertigo...

So glad about this particular road taken, on that particular day...
(Apologies for the intense lens flares, it was a very bright October day and almost too much for my phone... That hike was such a touching experience, I had to repeat it literally a week later...)

A one minute first person video of a person walking on a narrow path along the edge (approx. 100 meters above) of a stunning, narrow canyon, surrounded by 3000+ meter tall mountains. The path is partially bridged by short boardwalk sections and secured via steel ropes running along the rocks. The slopes down are covered in dense grass and bush vegetation and some Swiss pines. The bright sunny day brings out the intensity of all the stunning autumn colors. The other side of the valley is mostly …
