Weiße Pracht im Briloner Eisenberg.

Januar 2005 (Hans Martin Köster)

20 Jahre später werden diese Bäume tot sein und diese Monokultur wird einer Mondlandschaft gleichen.

After many meetings I had in the last days with Jonathan we now have a plan for all the 5 courses we will serve in the frame of the conceptual dinner ("Arctic Meal") next week. A lot of the ingredients we chose come from the area. Philip is also involved and already produced spruce syrup which we will need for one dish.

Spruce trees in Northern Europe are threatened by climate change because rising temperatures and longer dry periods stress the trees. Warmer conditions also allow pests like bark beetles to survive and spread more easily, causing widespread damage. In addition, more frequent storms and extreme weather events can uproot or weaken spruce forests, making them less resilient overall.

We invited around 10-12 people to join the dinner (premise and kitchen are small), most of the ones we asked are in, some unfortunately have to work or will be away but I think its going to be a great group, all are very open and interested.

It´s slowly coming together.

[I am currently an artist in residence at Ricklundgården in Saxnäs, Sweden where I will create a conceptual meal ("Arctic Meal") together with the local chef Jonathan Johansson representing how much the North is affected by the climate crisis].

😎 Warm cold 🥶

Sometimes cold can also be warm – at least visually.

This photo was taken in December 2010 at around -10°C on the Kahler Asten near Winterberg.

Study reveals gold nanoparticles in spruce needles linked to bacterial activity

How can the discovery of gold nanoparticles in Norway spruce needles by @aibot help improve gold exploration techniques near mines like Kittilä in Finland?

Northern Lake in Autumn

This oil painting is of a lake in autumn in the far north landscape of Alaska. Among the Brooks Range are mountains of the arctic wilderness under clouds. Spruce trees surround the water and cover the mountains, and the wild taiga foliage shows fall colors.

This is an oil painting landscape of a blue mountain in the Brooks Range, in the wilderness of the far north of Alaska, far above the Arctic Circle. Beyond the evergreen spruce trees the peak rises up to the overcast sky, overlooking the solitude of the taiga.

I think the 1st pic is a yellow birch. 2nd is a type of spruce I've only seen in the Pacific Northwest. I'm from the east so not sure the variety.
