Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Smashed records.

2025 will be a tough year for our global environment & well-being. Avoiding the anger-anxiety spiral will be a big challenge for individuals. This is good advice to keep front of mind as we venture forth.

Timeless beauty, captured in Northern Arkansas. Submerged trees at sunrise, painted in pinks, purples, and blues—shot with a 40-year-old Pentax lens during our family’s year-long road trip. #NatureStories #photography #photo #lens #nikon

Nice winter afternoon lighting in the Tüfelsschlucht. Who says canton Solothurn doesn't have cool stuff?

Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities and 100 times more fun.

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Beautiful day for some field work in Kanton Luzern scoping out some SlowWater streamgage locations. Even a dusting of snow on some of the shady sides of the hills. Have to get used to field work in the cold again!
