@hannahdaly.bsky.social I can’t figure out how to reply to your post directly - but I can see the comparison… we have a tree line visible from the back garden! Many an evening spent watching the sun dip below that line of trees!

The eXodus is a bit Tolkien’esq - In the face of oppression they took up & left that realm, only to settle a new land, a place of conversation, science, art and song, of vistas and blueskies! But, abandoned, left incensed & bereft - the trolls and their overlords were not long to wait, & followed!

My cover photo is worthy of an explanation! This is the field behind my M&Ds house in Essex, England. It's where I grew up & I used to play here as I kid - then it was all crop land. This is a pic from Aug this year & I'm pretty sure it's a good example of an agri-environmental scheme in action!
