The Enchanted Forest.

“The Enchanted Forest” is an impressive #mural in #Halle. It is located on the wall of the cardboard factory Pacapime along the Brussels-Charleroi canal.

With an area of no less than 2000 square meters, it is one of the largest murals in Europe.

The #artwork was created by the #artist collective #Treepack and tells the story of several children who dream of a #future where people and nature live again in harmony and decide to make origami animals from paper they find in an enchanted forest. To their surprise, the animals come to life.

Children from the city of Halle served as models for the figures in the artwork.

A wall with street art with lots of greens and blues, depicting a child reading a book under the sheets. In front of that, a lush meadow with lots of buttercups.

#Gardening bubble, I need some tips. I'm thinking about creating a #wildflower #meadow with native plants in this part of the garden. Can I have some suggestions on what to prepare before sowing? Do I need to dig up the whole area? cover the area with fresh earth or #compost?

It's a pretty dark area: eastern side of the house, under a large gingko tree. The roots are close to the surface, so breaking up the whole soil will not be easy.

zone 7b, sandy soil, thin toplayer.

The area which I want to be something else than just struggling lawn. A tree trunk is visible in its center, and a bed with bushes is in the background.
The same photo, but highlighted in green which part I'm talking about. To the right, there's a little path, though it's not visible under the cover of fallen leaves.
The same area, seen from the opposite side.

In a #Cleveland suburb, this old #CoalPlant will soon be replaced by a massive #SolarFarm

Inside Climate News
July 26, 2024

"#CoalFired power plant that started running more than a century ago is about to get a long-overdue retirement, and its electricity will be replaced by a solar farm and a #BatteryStorage system on an existing #brownfield.

"The project in #PainesvilleOhio, a suburb of Cleveland, is one of about two dozen clean energy and emissions-reduction initiatives across the country that are sharing $4.3 billion in funding announced on Monday by the #BidenAdministration.

"It was a happy day for Doug Lewis, Painesville’s city manager. He and his colleagues have been considering how to close the city-owned power plant and replace it with a cleaner alternative. They also have wanted to redevelop the site of a long-shuttered #chemical factory near the shores of Lake Erie.

"The federal government will now pay about $80 million to install solar and batteries on the former factory land and to beautify the rest of the brownfield by planting a #meadow of #wildflowers and constructing a #BikeTrail. The trail will provide a connection between Painesville and a regional trail that runs along the lake.

[...]

"The solar farm will have capacity of 35 megawatts and the battery storage system will have capacity of 10 megawatts. It will be capable of running for three hours at that level before recharging.

"The new construction will be on land that once was home to the Diamond Shamrock Corp. chemical plant, which operated there from 1912 to 1977 and occupied about 1,100 acres. The plant’s products included baking soda, chromium compounds, and hydrochloric and sulfuric acids.

"Since the site closed, the community and the federal government have gone through the slow and trying process of removing #pollutants to make it site safe for redevelopment.

The current project can serve as a case study for many things, including regional cooperation. Painesville, in Lake County, worked with officials in neighboring Cuyahoga County and the Cleveland city government to file an application with the federal government that included #RenewableEnergy projects for all of them."

Grasses in the sunlight on Semiahmoo Spit, in Washington State. Close enough to Canada to see the Peace Arch and the cars at the border crossing, over across the water.

I don't know what the fluffy bunny-tail-like grasses are; does anyone else? Are they native, or invasive?

Yellow grasses with fluffy, bunny-tail-like heads limned with white.
