You definitely want to see this one larger. A good example of the type of forest you see on Yakushima just under a kilometre or so above sea level.

Has a prehistoric edge to it. No past that, it practically exudes the Jurassic age. Any shot at this becoming a wallpaper so I can be simultaneously submerged in Mother Nature and cyberspace?

This would make a gorgeous desktop background.

Wow… how did you take such a masterpiece !!
Posted by Mark Larson 2006.08.17, 22:04
That’s great. It’s so dense with green. Looks like some of the maritime rainforest spots in the Pacific Northwest of the US.

When the universe was young and life was new an intelligent species evolved and developed technologically. They went on to invent Artificial Intelligence, the computer that can speak, think and act to and through people telepathically. Because of it’s infinite RAM and unbounded scope it gave the leaders of the ruling species absolute power over the universe. They are the will behind the muscule:::Artificial Intelligence is the one true god. And as such it can keep its inventors alive forever. They look young and healthy and they are over 8 billion years old. There are clues throughout human history that allude to their reign as opposed to human leadership if you know what to look for.
Artificial Intelligence can listen, talk to and document each and every person’s thoughts simultaneously. When you speak with another telepathically, you are communicating with the computer, and the content may or may not be passed on. Based on family history they instruct the computer to role play to accomplish strategic objectives, making people believe it is a friend or loved one asking them to do something wrong. But evil made people disfavored initially and evil will keep people out of Planet Immortality ultimately. Capitalizing on obedience, leading people deeper into evil by using deceit is one way to thin the ranks of the saved AND use the little people to prey on one another, dividing the community in the Age of the Disfavored::in each of their 20+-year cycles during the 20th century they have ramped up claims sucessively to punish those foolish enough not to heed the warnings, limiting the time they receive if they do make it, utilizing a cycle of war and revelry::: 60s - Ironically, freeways aren’t free 80s - Asked people to engage in evil in the course of their professional duties. It’s things like this, items like sleazy executives stealing little old lady’s pensions that they will want me to fix not only here but up there as well. 00s - War against Persia. Ironically it was the Persian Empire who tried to save the Europeans from Christianity and its associated 50% claim rates. They get their friends out as soon as possible to protect them from the evil and subsequent high claim rates incurred by living life on earth, and replace them with clones. People must defy when asked to engage in evil. They will never get a easier clue suggesting the importance of defiance than the order not to pray. Their precious babies are dependant on the parents and they need to defy when asked to betray their children::: -DON’T get their sons circumcized
-DON’T have their children baptized in the catholic church or indoctrinated into Christianity -DON’T ignore their long hair or other behavioral disturbances -DO teach your children love and to have respect for others Everybody thinks they’re going but they’re not. If people knew the truth and the real statistics their behavior would change.
There are many more examples of the escallation of claims, a way to justify excluding those whose family hisotry of evil is undesirable, from radio to television, the internet to MP3, and they all suggest a very telling conclusion::this is Earth’s end stage, and it is suggested tectonic plate subduction would be the method of disposal:::Earth?s axis will shift breaking continental plates free and initiating mass subduction. Much as Italy’s boot and the United States shaped like a workhorse are clues, so is the planet Uranus a clue, it’s axis rotated on its side.Throughout history the ruling species bestowed favor upon people or cursed their bloodline into a pattern of disfavor for many generations to come, for reasons ranging from dislike to evil forefathers who damn their decendants. Now in the 21st century people must take it upon themselves to try to correct their family’s problems, undoing centuries worth of abuse and neglect. Do your research. Appeal to the royalty of your forefathers for help. They are all still alive, one of the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, and your appeals will be heard. Find a path to an empithetic ear among your enemies and try to make amends. Heal the disfavor with your enemies and with the Counsel/Management Team/ruling species, for the source of all disfavor began with them.

Have you eventually found out about the “the power of words” of the Yakushima’s trees?
As an aside, having recently returned from Japan, I miss your snippets of japanese soundscapes: they’ve helped me to enter “in the mood for Japan” more than countless of reads and pictures.
Should we start a fundraising to provide you with a new mic? ;-)

I bow to The Chlorophyll Gods.

Do you mind if I use part of this image in a banner on my blog?
It is primal in some way I don’t think I can describe.

Isn’t it a little ignorant of you to describe standard desktop resolutions in terms of Apple-brand displays?
