Everyone knows this. It's been obvious since the dawn of time that it's cooler underneath trees. It hardly takes "professors", "scientists" or "experts" and yet people are still chopping down trees and covering more of the earth with concrete. More and more green land is becoming housing estates because it's 'cheaper' than developing brownfield sites. It's just not sustainable. #ClimateChange

Viewpoint


One of the better views I've had in the Dolomites, in last year's summer. This autumn I'll be here again. I can't wait to see what this looks like with autumn colours. Is it the end of September yet?

Rafting down a river on the back of lashed-together logs? It’s not Japan's take on wilderness survivalism — it’s the main tourist draw of a tiny village in Wakayama Prefecture. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/07/07/travel/log-rafting-wakayama-adventure-tourism/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #travel #rivers #wakayama #trees
