#JungleCanopyLayers #Funfact
Jungles have multiple layers, and each layer is home to different species of plants and animals. The highest layer, the #emergent layer, consists of towering trees that rise above the canopy, often reaching heights of over 200 feet, Below that is #canopy layer, which is dense with leaves and where most of the jungle's biodiversity thrives. Shadows & moisture in lower layers, like #understory and #forest floor, create unique ecosystems that support various wildlife.

Autumnal Atmosphere. #autumn #nature #trees #woodland #forest #branches #naturelover #landscape #moody #leaves #canopy #naturecapture #smartphonephotography #photography

A low-angle photograph looking up into the canopy of a large, ancient tree. Thick, gnarled branches twist across the frame, covered in patches of green moss and texture. Scattered leaves in shades of burnt orange, brown, and yellow cling to the twigs, contrasted against a bright, pale white sky. The image has a moody, slightly vintage aesthetic with high contrast between the dark wood and the light background.

A striking low-angle photograph looking straight up the tall, textured trunk of a tree towards the sky. The tree bark is rough and weathered, dominating the centre of the frame. Surrounding the trunk are the branches of other trees, featuring rich autumnal leaves in shades of orange, russet, and green against a bright blue sky with white clouds. The perspective gives a sense of immense height and natural grandeur.

A low-angle vertical photograph looking straight up into a dense forest canopy during autumn. Tall, dark tree trunks stretch towards the sky, silhouetted against a bright, hazy sky. The upper branches are filled with brilliant orange and gold foliage, creating a warm, vibrant ceiling against the pale blue and white sky peeking through. Sunlight filters directly through the trees and leaves near the centre of the frame, casting a warm glow.

This is a summer season photo that was taken on a hiking trail which overlooks a lowland section of a mature forest. The overarching colour in view is green due to the mix of both coniferous and deciduous trees in the area. A number of trees have fallen down and lie on the forest floor of the the lowland area. Some sunshine is cutting through the high trees creating some shadows. The photo helps to confirm that as in life, things can be a bit messy on the forest floor.

An ICM photograph of a tree canopy where the camera has been rotated around the lens axis during the exposure, making a swirling effect, rendering the photo quite abstract.

The weather is overcast and the trees entirely silhouetted, making the photo almost monochrome even though it is a colour photograph.

Canopy (botany) (Habitat 🌄)

In biology, the canopy is the aboveground portion of a plant cropping or crop, formed by the collection of individual plant crowns. In forest ecology, the canopy is the upper layer or habitat zone, formed by mature tree crowns and including other biological organisms. The communities that inhabit the canopy layer are thought to be involved in maintain...

Das ruft nach einem weiterem Foto einer beeindruckenden #SüntelBuche am #SchlossWehrden (hier gibt es zwei davon). Der Drehwuchs und die geringe Größe dieser seltenen Bäume geht auf einen Gendefekt zurück. Was diese Mutation ausgelöst hat, ist bisher nicht bekannt.

This calls for another photo of a magnificent dwarf #beech on the grounds of #Wehrden castle (there are two of these rare trees here). Their twisted and stunted growth is due to a genetic defect, though the cause of the mutation remains unknown.

This image showcases a majestic, old tree standing prominently in a lush, green forest. The tree’s thick, gnarled trunk twists and turns, displaying a lifetime of growth and resilience. Its expansive canopy spreads wide, filled with vibrant green leaves that create a dense, natural umbrella. The branches stretch out in intricate patterns, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor below. The surrounding area is carpeted with a mix of green foliage and earthy brown soil, adding to the serene and timeless atmosphere of the scene. The image captures the grandeur and tranquillity of nature, highlighting the tree as a symbol of strength and endurance.

The glider canopy is installed on the front pivot, which means I was able to fit all the tubing and wires under the instrument panel's glare shield.

I have found one or two areas of minor interference between moving parts, so I'll work on that tomorrow.

The glider canopy is propped into the full open position. The fuselage is white. The canopy has blue tape running around the edge of the canopy frame, and the rest of the canopy is covered with protective paper.

The canopy is lowered into the closed position.

Black and white photo of a group of people, mostly adults, standing under a leafy canopy, silhouetted against a bright background. They are facing away from the camera, looking out over a cityscape scene that is barely visible due to the backligh. The photo is taken from a slightly low angle, emphasizing the contrast between the dark foreground and the bright sky. The figures are lined up along a railing or low wall. The leaves of the canopy dominate the top of the frame, and a tree trunk is visible on the right.

A breathtaking upward view of a dense forest canopy, captured from directly beneath the towering trees. The tall trunks of the trees stretch vertically toward the sky, their branches intertwining to form a lush, green ceiling of leaves. Patches of bright sky peek through the gaps in the foliage, creating a dappled pattern of sunlight and shadow. The vibrant green hues of the leaves dominate the scene, evoking a sense of immersion in nature’s tranquillity and grandeur. The perspective emphasizes the height and density of the forest, offering a sense of being enveloped by the natural world.

Making a foam template that matches the curvature/profile of the glider's canopy. This allows me to determine if I have room to position various antennae as I finish installing the last instrument in the panel.

Note the oblique angle of the canopy through which the pilot must look when watching the runway during takeoff and landing. You really want a smooth canopy shape with no ripples, or you get a distorted view.

Marking the curve of the nose and canopy on a piece of foam board. This is the first step, and we only need to be approximate.

Cutting the template to the approximate shape. Next, several iterations of sanding down high spots so that the template follows the canopy's curve more accurately.

Now I can determine how I can position antennae so that they don't touch the canopy.

Work to start on new stage canopy for Swansea’s city centre amphitheatre

The amphitheatre, opposite the LC leisure centre and close to Swansea Arena, has already seen improvements to its steps, new handrails and a mains power supply. The next phase will see contractors Andrew Scott arrive on site this month to begin work on a sail‑shaped canopy designed to transform the space for performers and audiences.

Due to be completed by Christmas, the canopy will provide shelter for performers, audience members and lighting systems, while retaining the venue’s open‑air atmosphere.

Elliott King, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture, Human Rights and Equalities, said the upgrade would “turn heads” and bring fresh vitality to the space.

“This summer’s Amplitude event at the amphitheatre was a great free weekend out for music lovers. Performers also said they loved it and are looking forward to returning next year under cover,” he said. “This addition will significantly extend the venue’s usability throughout the year, supporting a wider range of cultural and community events, as well as providing an outdoor venue unique in Swansea.”

The council says the amphitheatre is one of the city’s key cultural assets, complementing other performance spaces such as Swansea Arena, the Grand Theatre and Singleton Park. The upgrade is part of its wider commitment to attract top‑quality cultural, music and creative events to the city.

Work on the canopy is expected to be finished in time for the 2026 events season.
