Let's talk about whales! 🐳

I usually speak mainly about the potential role of human urine and feces as fertilizer for agriculture because humans are the only species to actively mishandle excreta.

But obviously, the excreta of various animals also play important roles in natural cycles ♻️

Many people might know that seabirds compensate some of the nutrient loss to the sea since they hunt fish at sea but excrete on land
But of course, the bigger the animal, the larger the amount of nutrients they can transport.
A recent study looks at whales and the role they play moving nutrients around, as they feed in a region, then migrate and pee in another!
nature.com/articles/s41467-025…

In fact they contribute more to nutrient transport than birds and natural phenomena and could be a dominant factor in some marine biogeochemical cycles, thus regulating local carbon cycle and biodiversity. In the past, before we hunted them down, whale pee might have shaped entire ecosystems...

Migrating baleen whales transport high-latitude nutrients to tropical and subtropical ecosystems - Nature Communications

Baleen whales migrate from high latitude feeding grounds to subtropical reproductive winter grounds, translocating limiting nutrients across ecosystems.

8 Times Seth Painted What Childhood Really Feels Like

In Aalborg, Denmark, a boy curls up with a crayon on the side of a building, and in Le Mans, France, a child unzips a drab facade to reveal a burst of color. From Shanghai’s hidden alleyways to the rooftops of Grenoble, these murals by Seth Globepainter reimagine urban architecture through the lens of childhood. This collection features eight of his most poetic and site-responsive works—each one turning a blank wall into a portal of memory, play, or longing.

---

Jack in the Box — Aalborg, Denmark

A child with closed eyes sits with knees pulled tight to the chest, drawn in large scale onto a gable end of a building. Surrounded by vivid blocks of yellow and blue, crayons scattered at his feet, the scene suggests retreat into imagination.

---

Unzip — Le Mans, France

A mural of a child pulling open an enormous zipper transforms the entire building facade. The gray surface is peeled back to reveal a vibrant gradient of rainbow colors behind, suggesting freedom, wonder, and hidden worlds.

---

Periscope — Shanghai, China

In a clever use of existing piping, a small painted child crouches and peers through a pipe formation like a submarine periscope. The art blends seamlessly into the real structure, turning utilities into imagination.

---

Hopscotch Girl — Paris, France

On a quiet street corner, a young girl in a red checkered dress stands at a hopscotch court, staring at a painted figure mid-jump. The painted girl has lost her shoes and seems to leap beyond the wall, capturing fleeting childhood moments.

---

Cat Walk — Shanghai, China

A mural of a girl with her head resting on folded arms appears framed in a red window. Her long ponytail dangles down the wall, playfully chased by the silhouette of a black cat reaching for a flower at its tip.

---

Eye to Eye — Fontaine, France

Two murals face each other across a street. On one wall, a girl whispers toward the other. On the opposite wall, a boy listens under a crescent moon. The murals reflect connection and imagination, using architectural space like a narrative thread.

---

Hang On — Grenoble, France

A girl clings to a painted tear in the building’s facade, appearing to pull back the gray surface to reveal bright blue sky. Her body swings with momentum as if caught mid-effort to uncover what lies beyond.

---

In My House by Box — Laon, France

A girl kneels inside a house-shaped outline, spray-painting walls onto the blank facade. Around her, simple shapes in red, yellow, and purple mimic a child’s drawing. It’s both playful and defiant—claiming space through art.

---

These murals don’t just decorate buildings—they redefine them. Seth Globepainter’s work invites us to see cities as living canvases where memory, play, and possibility are always within reach.

Ares 3 Landing Site: The Martian Revisited

#Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRISE camera captures weathered craters and windblown deposits in Acidalia Planitia. The blue-tinted image would appear grey or reddish to human eyes. The site matches the fictional Ares 3 landing from "The Martian," with real Pathfinder site 800 km away.

Ein tolles Konzert gestern Abend und heute total groggy. Beim Abbau hat uns dann der - dringend nötige - Regen erwischt. Obwohl nur ein Flötenquartett, gibt es immer viel zu schleppen: die Beleuchtungsanlage, die stabilen Notenständer, im Ganzen 8 Flöten, davon eine recht groß. (Auf dem Foto ist nur ein kleiner Teil schon angekommen am schönen Portal.) Heute mach ich mal ....... wenig. Guten Morgen, Ihr Lieben.
