Is this natureโs ASMR? On Minnesotaโs Lake Superior, below-freezing temperatures in the wintertime turn the surface of the lake completely solid. But when the wind picks up at just the right strength, it begins to push the fragile, glass-like ice towards the shore. The result is a mesmerizing display featuring some satisfying cracks and crunches. #winter #nature #beauty #lake #seasons #lakesuperior #naturalphenomena Video by Paul Johnstone
It can be difficult to know for certain whether an individual is truly the last of its kind, even if it's right in front of you. There are plenty of cases when a species was thought to be extinct in the wild, but was then rediscovered years later. The word 'endling' is yet to make it to any official dictionary, but the reality of its meaning remainsโthere are just two female northern white rhinos and as few as 10 vaquitas remaining in the wild. Language and the words we use for the ecological crises we face are important #language #englishlanguage #extinct #wildlife #animals #ecology
Once a year during peak flood season in Vietnam, pink, purple, and white water lilies light up the paddy fields. In the Long An Province, farmers harvest the plants all day. While the floods in central Vietnam often result in destruction, in the Mekong Delta theyโre viewed as a gift from heaven. Here, the floods bring fish into the paddy fields along with sediment deposits that create fertilizer for the next crop.
These water lilies are wild plants and provide a supplementary income for the female farmers, who harvest and sell them at the markets. The flowers can be used for tea or decoration and the edible stalks can be eaten raw or dunked into soup.

Using Earthโs elements to create works of art.
German artist, Nils-Udo has been working with the land since the 1960s, playing with the raw materials from his surroundings to create his own 'language'. The artworks serve to communicate our relationship with the environment while highlighting the existing beauty of our planet that often goes overlooked #art #nature #natureart #plants #workofart

Eyes As Big As Plates is a photography project by Scandinavian artists Riitta Ikonen and Karoline Hjorth. Allowing their subjects to show up and adorn themselves with their surroundings perfectly encapsulates the fact that humans and nature are one.
The project focuses on elders, with the initial ambition being to conceptualize them as powerful beings from Nordic mythology. This has since evolved, drawing from the subjects' life experiences and hobbies. Time is of the essence hereโboth in the painstaking amount it takes to use traditional photographic techniques and natural lighting, and in the embodiment of time in their models, all being in their 60s, 70s, and 80s #art #nature #natureart #plants #workofart #elder #norway

Walking is my meditation ๐
As we wander amidst the trees, breathe in the fresh air, and connect with the natural world, our minds find solace and tranquility. So next time youโre feeling stuck or need to clear your mind, consider getting outside and moving. #nature #outdoors #hiking #adventure #mindfulness #mentalhealth
