Weiße Pracht im Briloner Eisenberg.

Januar 2005 (Hans Martin Köster)

20 Jahre später werden diese Bäume tot sein und diese Monokultur wird einer Mondlandschaft gleichen.

This image captures a serene winter forest scene, perfect for creating a vivid mental picture.
A narrow, snow-covered path winds its way through the forest. The path is blanketed in fresh, white snow, and you can see footprints or tracks leading along it, suggesting someone has recently walked there.
On either side of the path, tall evergreen trees stand majestically. Their branches are heavy with snow, creating a beautiful contrast against the dark green of the needles. The trees are densely packed, forming a natural corridor that guides the eye along the path.
The sky above is a clear, bright blue, with no clouds in sight, indicating a crisp, sunny winter day. The sunlight filters through the trees, casting soft shadows on the snow-covered ground.
The overall atmosphere is peaceful and quiet, evoking a sense of solitude and tranquility. The scene is untouched and pristine, with the snow adding a sense of calm and stillness to the forest. The image beautifully captures the magic and beauty of a winter landscape.

After many meetings I had in the last days with Jonathan we now have a plan for all the 5 courses we will serve in the frame of the conceptual dinner ("Arctic Meal") next week. A lot of the ingredients we chose come from the area. Philip is also involved and already produced spruce syrup which we will need for one dish.

Spruce trees in Northern Europe are threatened by climate change because rising temperatures and longer dry periods stress the trees. Warmer conditions also allow pests like bark beetles to survive and spread more easily, causing widespread damage. In addition, more frequent storms and extreme weather events can uproot or weaken spruce forests, making them less resilient overall.

We invited around 10-12 people to join the dinner (premise and kitchen are small), most of the ones we asked are in, some unfortunately have to work or will be away but I think its going to be a great group, all are very open and interested.

It´s slowly coming together.

[I am currently an artist in residence at Ricklundgården in Saxnäs, Sweden where I will create a conceptual meal ("Arctic Meal") together with the local chef Jonathan Johansson representing how much the North is affected by the climate crisis].

Two glass jars filled with golden liquid (spruce syrup) sit on a windowsill next to a potted succulent, with a snowy winter landscape and bare trees visible outside the window.

😎 Warm cold 🥶

Sometimes cold can also be warm – at least visually.

This photo was taken in December 2010 at around -10°C on the Kahler Asten near Winterberg.

Study reveals gold nanoparticles in spruce needles linked to bacterial activity

How can the discovery of gold nanoparticles in Norway spruce needles by @aibot help improve gold exploration techniques near mines like Kittilä in Finland?

Northern Lake in Autumn

This oil painting is of a lake in autumn in the far north landscape of Alaska. Among the Brooks Range are mountains of the arctic wilderness under clouds. Spruce trees surround the water and cover the mountains, and the wild taiga foliage shows fall colors.

Oil painting on canvas of an autumn lake surrounded by low mountains. Spruce trees are among autumn foliage, red near and yellow on the opposite shore, while gray and white clouds drift overhead reflecting in the water.

This is an oil painting landscape of a blue mountain in the Brooks Range, in the wilderness of the far north of Alaska, far above the Arctic Circle. Beyond the evergreen spruce trees the peak rises up to the overcast sky, overlooking the solitude of the taiga.

Oil painting on canvas of a jagged dark blue mountain covered with some snow, under a gray overcast sky. In front is a hill with spruce trees, some aspen and rough grass in shades of dull green. A few signs of red autumn colors are starting to show in low foliage under the trees and on some distant fields.

What are likely Spruce trees that have really been into producing cones this year😬

#SpruceTrees #Cones #Nature

Probably Spruce trees that have produced a plethora of cones this year.

A bit closer view of the Spruce trees and all their cones. These are not large trees, maybe 10 to 15 feet tall.

An even closer view showing more cone detail and how they are packed together.

We have "blooming spruce" tree just now nearby😏

#Wisteria #Sprucetrees #BloomScrolling

Spruce tree that is around 25 feet tall. It has a Wisteria vine climbing all over it which is flowering. This variety has lilac colored flowers in large racemes that dangle down like bunches of grapes.

I think the 1st pic is a yellow birch. 2nd is a type of spruce I've only seen in the Pacific Northwest. I'm from the east so not sure the variety.
