The hidden life....
(The deeper meaning of the dark depths)

We usually only see half of the tree. The other half is hidden. In the realm of darkness. However, it is just as important as the visible (above ground) part. The root system is just as big as a tree crown. And there, in the dark depths between the roots, the fascinating life of thousands of tiny creatures is buzzing. An ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, nematodes, mites, earthworms and other creatures. Millions of mini creatures and even up to 1 kilometer of fungal threads fit easily in a spoonful of soil. So small but so valuable to the trees.

The tree cannot exist without them.
And therefore an ode to the invisible second half of the tree.


Het verborgen leven....
(De diepere betekenis van de donkere diepten )

Wij zien meestal alleen de helft van de boom. De andere helft is verborgen. In het rijk der duisternis. Het is echter net zo belangrijk als het zichtbare ( bovengrondse) deel. Het wortelstelsel is net zo groot als een boomkroon. En daar, in de donkere diepten tussen de wortels, bruist het fascinerende leven van de duizenden nietige wezentjes. Een ecosysteem van bacteriën, schimmels, aaltjes, mijten, regenwormen en andere wezentjes. Met gemak passen in een lepeltje grond miljoenen miniwezentjes en zelfs tot wel 1 kilometer aan schimmeldraden. Zo klein maar zo waardevol voor de bomen.

De boom kan niet zonder hun bestaan.
En daarom een ode aan de niet zichtbare tweede helft van de boom.

The presence of empty spots due to a decline in biodiversity is a cause for concern. Some species could even extinct before they might be discovered. When does come the awareness that only making money is not the ultimate option to save our planet? We are guests here and we should also behave as guests...

“Wolkenarium” (Claudarium) We live in a time when man seems to have forgotten his origins and is blind even to his most basic needs for survival. Our natural resources are being polluted or depleted by irresponsible behavior....and we also think we can control water, wind and clouds...with this cloud machine!

As a newbie to this platform, I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has experience with Pixelfed. socials and Pixelfed.art . Are there any big differences and is one better for presenting art? Me, like many others, have left or are considering leaving IG due to the algorithm, advertising, or other reasons. What are your experiences with switching? Any thoughts on this topic are welcome.
