The beauty of #decay ... the next #heatwave in France has started (I forgot to count them). It's a bad year for #roses (normally resistant plants for heat): They wilt shortly after opening and are then scorched by the sun. Trees shed their dead leaves as a survival mechanism.
With a colder time and some rain, they can start to sprout again but we have heatwave after heatwave. Northern Alsace, France.

Boulder [Prints Available]

welchwrite.com/blog/2026/07/26…

Shot from a low angle in rich, detailed black and white, this photograph centers on a massive, weathered boulder nestled deep within a shadowy forest canopy. The sharp contrast highlights every crack, texture, and natural contour of the ancient stone, while sweeping tree branches and delicate leaves frame the rock from above. The soft overhead light filtering through the trees creates a peaceful, almost secret-haven atmosphere.

Twisted Oak [Prints Available]

This vertical shot looks up into the dramatic, winding canopy of an ancient oak tree. The heavy, dark branches twist and loop through the frame like natural sculptures, creating an intricate web against the sky. Surrounded by dense, layered green foliage and smaller forest undergrowth, this perspective gives you the immersive feeling of standing deep within a hidden grove.

After the #extremeHeat in France, the danger of #wildfires is enormous. #Heatwave and #soil #dryness didn't change much for the plants this week - with "cool" 30°C and full sunshine.

#Trees try to resist by getting "dried" #leaves. At a certain heat temp., the process starts at the exterieur like burnings. Then the green vanishes to the centre until #photosynthesis is stopped. If the plant can't get soon enough rain to regenerate, it can die. Food crops die before trees.

Apologies if you were behind me today when I spotted this magnificent oak tree. I did a tire-screeching pullover to the side of the road in order to scramble over a fence and wade through a soaking wet field mined with sheep shit and thorny thistles just to capture this in time for #ThickTrunkTuesday

For #ThickTrunkTuesday an old red oak friend. All those trees in the background that look so skinny? They’re not. This oak, already old, was the central tree when this area was a picnic grove in the 1800s and very early 1900s. When it stopped being used for picnics other trees grew and shaded its wide branches so they fell off. Their remains are on the ground around the tree’s base. Owls eat in its branches and raccoons use it as a landmark. It is a grand old being. #tree #oak #nature

#ThickTrunkTuesday, you say? *slaps trunk* Here's a fine specimen on the #LüneburgHeath. This bad boy can fit so much f--king oxygen in it! It's good as new, with centuries of experience, AND climate control.

Lose yourself in the intricate, tangled beauty of this black and white oak tree canopy.

This photograph captures the dramatic, skeletal structure of ancient tree limbs reaching out against a bright, luminous sky. The monochrome treatment emphasizes the deep textures of the bark and the complex, layered density of the foliage, creating a feeling of both mystery and timeless strength.

Do you always come home after an autumn walk with a handful of colorful leaves, like I do?
Nature is a wonderful inspiration!
