💡 Too much artificial light at night promotes the growth of blue-green algae in #lakes. This has been shown in a large-scale field experiment. If #LightPollution continues to increase, potentially toxic cyanobacterial blooms could become more common in the future. Read more: igb-berlin.de/en/news/light-po

Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park is a short drive from our home in #Memphis, #Tennessee. It has been a welcoming forest for camping and hiking, and we have witnessed countless moonrises from the shores of Poplar Tree Lake in the park. This second-person ode contemplates these experiences and the wisdom gained from knowing this special place in western Tennessee.

Sacred Wonderland · Moonrise Over a Living Forest: Ode to Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park, TennesseeA second-person ode that contemplates wisdom gained from witnessing moonrises and other experiences in a forested park in western Tennessee.

In another place, I'm doing a thread of islands I've visited, because it fits my username. One photo every day or so. But sometimes an extra photo slips in that I can't use (because one photo per island) so I'll have to share it here.

St Tredwell's Loch, on Papa Westray, one of the smaller islands of Orkney. I don't know why a lake on an island seems so odd, but it does. Maybe because of how close it is to the sea. (You might be able to see the strip of blue sea behind the loch.)

Photo is taken from St Tredwell's Chapel, the ruins of a Medieval chapel built over Iron Age remains, or an overgrown bunch of rocks on a hill. (As you can in the foreground.)

If you're into photos of islands, the thread starts here:
