Was helfen uns als kleine GbR Steuersenkungen😶‍🌫️
Wem hilft das überhaupt, wenn man eine Idee hat und gründen möchte? Stattdessen wäre es angebrachter, sich um den Bürokratiewust zu kümmern, durch den man sich jeden Tag kämpfen muss.

Was wir uns wünschen würden: Bürokratie Abbau ohne als erstes an Umwelt- und Sozialstandards zu gehen, keine Unternehmensteuersenkung. #naturefirst #gründung #naturelover #GbR

Creating spaces where nature feels welcome is a form of care.
Small actions. Quiet objects. Real impact. 🐦🌿

Mixed light, mixed feelings

Happy New Year.
I’ll start with a confession: I really dislike fireworks. Not the light itself, but everything around it. The pollution, the stress for animals, the damage to nature, and the yearly ritual of people discovering—once again—that playing with controlled explosions has consequences. Every year the harm increases, and every year we collectively act surprised.

So no, you won’t see me buying fireworks or lighting them myself.

But… I do photograph them.

Because once they are already in the sky, they become something else entirely. Brief, chaotic chemical experiments unfolding against a dark background. This image was taken handheld with my Canon 5D Mark IV and the Sigma 100–400, using a 1.6-second exposure at ISO 100. Long enough to let the explosion draw itself, short enough to keep structure and definition.

What fascinates me most is the physics and chemistry behind the colors. Yellow from sodium, red from strontium, and that elusive blue—one of the hardest colors to produce reliably in fireworks—created by copper compounds under very specific temperatures. Add bright white sparks, often magnesium or aluminum, and suddenly the sky looks less like a celebration and more like a fleeting nebula.

If you look closely, it almost resembles deep-space imagery: expanding clouds, glowing particles, tiny star-like points suspended in darkness. A reminder that the same physical laws govern both fireworks above our cities and stellar explosions light-years away.

I don’t celebrate the noise or the damage. But I do observe the light—brief, beautiful, and already fading.

This is more than an environmental issue. It’s a question of Indigenous rights, cultural survival, and the limits of greenwashing in so-called "green" mining.

A low-angle shot of a dense forest focuses on tall, mature trees stretching upwards towards a partly cloudy sky. The massive trunks are textured with bark, and some are covered in bright green moss. In the foreground, a fallen log is also covered in the same vibrant moss. The overall impression is one of height, age, and the lush, damp environment of a temperate rainforest.

Young #cedar #tree is all dressed in magnificent #mosses & #lichen 💚
One of the lovely sights you can see & admire, while exploring the coastal temperate rainforests in BC.

A dense, verdant forest scene featuring a prominent cedar tree trunk with branches heavily draped in long, hanging moss. The moss creates a sense of depth and an enchanted atmosphere. The scene is dominated by shades of green and brown, with filtered light creating soft shadows

#ThickTrunkTuesday

This beautiful, ancient yellow #cedar tree has a massive, moss covered trunk. It is estimated at over 500 years old. There are very few #ElderTrees of this scale found outside of protected parks on Southern Vancouver Island now. The few remaining unprotected old growth forest tracts should be conserved for stability & longevity of our wild, ancient ecosystems & for the future generations to enjoy/admire/study.

The need to protect old growth forests has been the case for decades but even more important in present times because of accelerated climate change & the increased greedy desperation of corporate ecociders & our governments who aid/abet the pillaging which destroys wild environments that are essential for humans to sustain our lives on Earth. Valuable medicines are found & several medicines have yet to be found in these old growth, coastal temperate, wild rainforests. We need to protect these ancient forests for the above listed & many more important reasons.

The image features the base of a massive yellow cedar tree in a dense forest. The ancient tree's thick, textured bark is heavily coated in green moss & lichen, in the damp, old-growth environment. Small ferns & leafy green plants grow around the base of the tree. Other trees are visible in the background, further highlighting the forest setting. The perspective is from a low angle, emphasizing the tree's size & imposing presence.

#Mosstodon

Our coastal temperate #rainforests on Vancouver Island are super lush with so much #biodiversity. They are worth conserving & protecting. These forests are also full of medicines, some yet to be discovered.

An overhead shot of water flowing over rocks in a stream within a forest. The rocks are coated in thick, vibrant green moss. Lush greenery covers both sides of the stream, with ferns adding a touch of vibrancy. The water is clear to dark, cascading over the rocks.

View of dense, temperate rainforest. Ferns carpet the ground in shades of deep green. Trees, with trunks coated in moss & lichen, reach upward, some at angles. A fallen tree trunk lies among the ferns. The forest floor is damp & shaded.

#Backroads on #DididahtTerritory.
This is part of the #SanJuanRiver & forests in the valley. The #watershed area is under ongoing #ecological threats by industrial #clearcut #logging. This is near #CarmannahWalbran #BritishColumbia provincial park.
The forests here are longtime foraging, mating & birthing grounds for the #CowichanValley Roosevelt elk herd. The San Juan is an important salmon bearing river. The old growth forests here are home to several #SpeciesAtRisk & #EndangeredSpecies.
There is ongoing eco activism work to try & protect more of the forests & #waterways in this #wilderness valley on Southern #VancouverIsland.

Placed in old growth forest, amidst ferns & other forest plants.

I spent 3.5 months here in my first #CivilDisobedience action in my teens. Which led to a lifelong commitment to protect all old growth in BC.
