Thai basil, Chinese cabbage thriving in #Orkney

Everything from #chilis to #cucumbers is being grown at UHI Orkney, as part of an innovative experiment in vertical #farming

Dr Creissen reckons #plants have grown between two & three times as fast as they would in a normal #polytunnel

You can grow pretty much anything in this system if you have the space

Fossilized coral seacliff, late afternoon, Atiu coastline, Cook Islands, South Pacific. May 1990. Atiu's coral reef grows directly from the shoreline and encircles the island. Eruptions from an undersea volcano have raised the inner portion to form these fossilized coral cliffs.

Culturamas über den Film #Islands des deutschen Regisseurs Jan-Ole Gerster: "Que un alemán se vea atraído por Canarias no es ninguna novedad. Lo hacen millones de turistas cada año buscando exactamente lo mismo: sol, playa y la promesa de una desconexión."

La isla que permanece cuando todos se marchan

Footprint of the Earth
Abijith Soman, India

An island shaped like a footprint emerges from Kerala’s backwaters, its mangroves tracing the toes and sole of the print. Many of these islands were once mangrove forest before being cleared for coconut plantations — on some, the mangroves are now reclaiming that ground. A quiet mark of where nature is stepping back in.
