On what is now the edge of a forest I found this 35 meter mighty pedunculate oak (zomereik, Quercus robur L.) in late evening light. The rich palette of its trunk tells the story. From 10 meter above ground onwards it had decided, many years ago, to form the basis of its mighty crown. It has become a place full of life.
The story behind
Once a pristine and unique ecosystem, the Serengeti in Tanzania, where many animals live, meet and breed. Balanced, rich and telling the storing of our planet from ancient times on.
Now the immense grasslands (green) are step by step, disturbed by more tourist roads (white), system borders (black) and settlings (red). It is increasingly coming under pressure. This unique ecosystem is literally cut into pieces. An art expression.
This rectangle archival pigment print of the city canvas with Pantone® colours Black 6c, High Risk Red and Grass Green is perfect for a modern, classic and reflective look in home and office interiors. It is a reminder of how one of the most pristine and key natural ecosystems in the world is on the brink of devaluation.
Er is er een jarig vandaag. Dochter Michelle. Zij is als een sneeuwklokje (Galanthus nivalis L., Snowdrop). Zij brengt de lente, telkens weer. Een schets van vaderlief.

What are the clouds trying to tell me about the weather to come. No apps and forecasters but navigating on my own perceptions and diagnosis. What is their wisdom? I must say, not that easy to do. It is cloud illusions I have to recall (thanks to Joni).
