Today is a holy day, the old life has passed, the time of rest in nature approaches. Tonight the living and the dead stand on the same plane of existence. Meditate on what you have achieved and done these past seasons ,remember and respect those that have gone before and sacrifice something in honour of the dead…

The Sweet Juniper blog has a gallery of abandoned Detroit houses that are being overcome by the foliage around them, trees and shrubs and plants growing around, on and in them. (via Boing Boing)
The island of Socotra is part of an archipelago in the Indian Ocean. It is so isolated that a third of its plant life is found nowhere else on the planet. Notable are the dragon’s blood trees that look like flying saucers perched on trunks. Dorstenia gigas are trees that require no soil and look like elephants’ legs with pink flowers on top. Birds such as the Socotra starling, Socotra sunbird, and Socotra grosbeak are found nowhere else on Earth. Bats are the island’s only native mammal. There are almost no roads on the island, which is also home to a collection of caves and a number of shipwrecks.
These are some photos I made of the Südfriedhof, the largest cemetery we have here. It’s a beautiful park with many rare tree species, a lake, a crematorium that looks like a church, some cute residents and wonderful graves. It’s an amazing place to hang out and I know some people who associate some interesting things with it ;) I’ll make some better photos this year thanks to the fact that I have a real camera now (some of the photos below were made with my cell).

When all the world has gone to sleep The hunters to the forest creep From out ‘the wild wood comes the call: "The hunt is life… the hunt is all …"
An ancient forest beckons me To run skyclad amongst the trees My lusty spear, it cannot wait The gentle deer to penetrate
Cernunnos, Lord of Beasts, he grunts: "Come join us for the Wylde Hunt!"
In celebration of Earth Day, NASA presents images of Earth captured by cameras aboard the International Space Station. Traveling at an approximate speed of 17,500 miles per hour, the space station orbits Earth every 90 minutes from an altitude of approximately 220 miles, and can be seen from Earth with the naked eye. Its crew experiences 16 sunrises and sunsets each day.

Peleliu is a small island that forms part of the nation of Palau in the Pacific. It’s about five hours flying time south of Japan and three hours east of the Philippines. It’s now, like the rest of Palau, beautiful, peaceful and home to more shades of blue in the sea and sky than you or your camera lens would ever have thought possible.
Blue wasn’t always the colour. Between September and November 1944, it was the site of an incredibly fierce battle between US and Japanese armed forces.
When you arrive on Peleliu, it doesn’t take long to start spotting the remains of the war. This is partly because while the US helped rebuild Peleliu (and Palau as a whole – the country only become fully independent in 1994), they just moved the civilian population from the south of the island to the north and started afresh. The south of the island and its thick jungle still contain plenty of WW2 relics.
