by nielskunze on December 6, 2014
I don’t know how you people do it! Circumstances had conspired to keep me away from the Forest and cooped up in the house for five days… and I nearly went bat-shit crazy! Thankfully, all is now back to normal– (…)
The Daily Forest Report December 1, 2014 Equanimity at the Extremes
by nielskunze on December 1, 2014

Photos of the Year
by nielskunze on November 28, 2014
(excerpt Into The Lens by Yes from their 1980 album Drama, sans Jon Anderson) Most of these were taken with my Canon; a few were taken with the GoPro. They were selected either for their artistic merit or the interest (…)

by nielskunze on November 26, 2014
Tumultuous, tumultuous world…! After a snowfall, the Forest grows quiet… especially when thick curtains obscure the views of familiar horizons. Yet the trees seem to know something… something we haven’t quite grasped yet. I envy their stillness… “But growth is (…)

The Daily Forest Report November 22, 2014 When Rivers Pile Up
by nielskunze on November 22, 2014

by nielskunze on November 17, 2014
(excerpt from Moonchild by King Crimson from their 1969 debut album In the Court of the Crimson King) “For many, freedom’s full measure lies in being free from the very desire to ever colour outside of the lines provided.” There’s (…)

by nielskunze on November 15, 2014
(Frozen Over by Captain Beyond from their 1972 self-titled debut album) So cold… and so effing beautiful! The river flows with ice like a slushy machine in need of repairs. Downstream it chokes itself in some parody of auto-erotic experimentation… (…)
