Precious Feathers
This beautiful male white-tipped quetzal was nesting with its mate behind one of the El Dorado Nature Reserve's huts in Colombia. We also met them a few times during hikes in the forest. They are like large green forest spirits and have a beautiful metallic plumage.
The translations of "quetzal" from Nahuatl, the Aztec language, to English vary a bit. Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec deity, is literally translated to something like "serpent of precious feathers" with "coatl" translating to serpent. The full name of the related resplendent quetzal seems to be Quetzaltototl with "tototl" translating to bird. My completely amateur translatation of "quetzal" with no knowledge of the language is therefore "precious feathers" which I think is an apt name for these bird species.
Sources of translation: https://nahuatl.wired-humanities.org/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatl#Etymology
To be able to photograph in these dark forest conditions, I had to learn to go far below my comfort shutter speed of usually 1/500 s with the 600 mm (900 mm effective) telephoto lens. With some (forced) practice I was able to capture images like this one at 1/100 s handheld. My gimbal tripod was not an option, as it slowed me down too much during hikes, and the ability to react quickly was more important to me than deleting fewer blurry photos after each day.

…and they are trying to bring back #nuclear with #AI …
While #nuclearenergy is not #fossil it not #green at all - but #colonial , #deadly & totally unfair because, like in AI, the #profits are being privatised, the costs are hitting the whole #society & the #planet
But from the point of view of someone believing in #cybernetics or one of its #TESCREAL grandchildren it is great - because in cybernetics EVERY problem will be solved in "the future" by "technology"
Google's emissions are up over 50%, Amazon builds huge data centers powered by 75% natural gas.
Remember all those posts telling us that "AIs climate impact isn't that bad" supported by some really funky math/perspective and/or numbers Sam Altman invented?
Here's the actual impact.
"AI" is a fossil fuel technology.

A fern-like moss in a forest.
Macro of a very common moss growing in meadows. Tips and branches are visible.
Big natural sandstones in a garden covered with moss in early spring. The moss dries with the heat of summer and is revived by rainfalls in cooler days.
Moss on the bark of an old elder tree. The contrasts of sunlight and shadow show a landscape-like microcosm of bright green and wood.
