The Beaten Track


This is a typical British Woodland in the South. In the 14, 15 and 16th centuries, hundreds of thousands of acres of woodland were destroyed to build ships and Tudor-style houses. Over time, the woodland has begun to regrow, but with overpopulation in the South, it is difficult to find large areas of woodland like this one. 

Alien Focus


This intriguing image explores the extreme within a flower cluster. These tiny buds and open flowers are incredibly small and the blue powder on the stamen is pollen. I particularly enjoy this photo because of the peculiarities associated with it. It looks extraterrestrial to me, even though you only have to look carefully to see it in our world every day.
