A Storied Lie

Some things are best earned. What comes too easily is too often taken for granted, as a right. 39.

“The 9000 who never made it home”. Project dedicated to those who died in the D-Day Landings which happened on this day in 1944.

The 9000 Who Never Made It Home was a haunting, large-scale art installation created on the beaches of Normandy in 2013 to mark International Peace Day and honor those who died during the D-Day landings.

British artists Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss, along with a team of over 500 volunteers, used stencils and rakes to etch 9,000 human silhouettes into the sand of Arromanches beach, each figure representing a soldier or civilian who lost their life on June 6, 1944.

The artwork was intentionally temporary. Within hours, the sea swept away the silhouettes, symbolizing the fragility of life and the waves of time that continue to erase even the most powerful memories.

It took 30000 hours ie three years and seven months to make this video of 77 types of flowers... This amazing beauty of nature is worth enjoying.

This is how I feel about Joshua Trees. They and avocado trees produce fruit meant to be eaten and dispersed by giant ground sloths. Without them, the Joshua Trees' range has shrunk by 90%.

(my own photos)

Not only they, but the entire Mojave ecosystem is still struggling to adapt since the loss of ground sloth dung. their chief fertilizer.

Many, many trees and plants in the Americas have widely-spaced, extremely long thorns that do nothing to discourage deer eating their leaves, but would've penetrated the fur of ground sloths and mammoths. Likewise, if you've observed a tree that drops baseball or softball-sized fruit which lies on the ground and rots, like Osage Oranges, which were great for playing catch at my school, chances are they were ground sloth or mammoth chow.

You can read about various orphaned plants and trees missing their megafauna in this poignant post:

The Trees That Miss The Mammoths - American Forests

Trees that once depended on animals like the wooly mammoth for survival have managed to adapt and survive in the modern world.

No, I’ve never heard of the show you’ve been streaming. No, I’ve never heard of that actor. No, I don’t watch sports. What? I’m out of touch? Have you read a book of poetry again and again? Have you pushed your body to its breaking point? Have you wept for joy all by your lonesome? Have you woken up in the morning and looked in the mirror and said to yourself, “today I am prepared to die”? No? And you call me out of touch. Pfft.
