    Here are three pictures I took from when we lived in a cabin in Northern Michigan.

    Beautiful place... but the winters were just too long and too cold.

    Two very different images:

    1) China's "Red Beach", one of the rarest sights in the world: a wetland on the bank of the Liaohe River in Liaoning Province.



    2) A high resolution panorama I took myself a couple of days ago, high in the Andes in Ecuador. You could possibly take a moment to view it at full size, scanning from one side to the other to see the myriad of lakes in the valleys below. It was a cloudy day, but that somehow seemed to add to it all.

    The Untersberg( Or Hitler's mountain) is the northernmost massif of the Berchtesgaden Alps, a prominent spur straddling the border between Berchtesgaden, Germany and Salzburg, Austria. The highest peak of the table-top mountain is the Berchtesgaden Hochthron at 1,973 metres (6,473 ft).

    I woke up on a morning like this.



    I climbed the mountain on that sunny day.



    I went down from the mountain to take my bike home and I was caught in such a storm (storms in the area are frequent, short and cold) the storm and small pieces of hail caught me in the middle of the field and "whipped" me a little the skin until I reached under a tree.
    Nature really has its greatness.





    The storm lasted only a few minutes, but the air is very clean and the waters in the area are sweet and nutritious.
    I'm such a "fanatic" of Nature that I think only nature can "kill" me
    And all this to be just human.

    Laila Peak, in the Karakoram Himalayas. It's exceptional inasmuch as even in these days of GPS and to-the-inch satellite measurements, its true height is still controversial and disputed.

    Mushrooms, unlike many other organisms, have survived all the cataclysms that have taken place on our planet. And they have a good chance of continuing to do so. Mushrooms are able to release spores into the air even in the absolute absence of wind.

    7 000 000 000 000 spores - such an amount of spores is contained in a single specimen of fungus, e.g. "Langermannia gigantea"; If each of these spores were to grow and give birth to another generation of spores, then by the third generation the common mass of all fungi would exceed 800 times the mass of our planet.
    -5 millimetre per minute is the growth rate of some varieties;
    -80 years - the maximum age of Polypore fungi, which grow on trees. The largest of them weighed 500 kilograms.
    -20 000 g - the gravitational acceleration of the spores of Pilobolus fungi. Cosmonauts support the acceleration of 3 g, Formula-1 drivers - up to 5 g.



    Time lapse growing, they can absorb water extremely quickly.







    Nature has always been a beautifully engineered design.
    And all this to be just human.
