Hidden In Plain Sight
If you travel from 390 to I390 you may have noticed a swampy area alongside the road as you round the big curve heading south. It’s full of dead trees, indicative of an area that wasn’t originally underwater. I spent some time recently taking photos there and got to wondering if my suspicions are correct. So I went to the USGS site and grabbed maps of the area from 1895 to 1965 to what was in that area before the canal was re-routed in the early 1900s and the expressways built in the early 1980s. I already had maps for 1971 and 1994.
Surprisingly, the 1895 map doesn’t show any water in that area, with only Allen’s Creek in more or less its current route. Same for a 1912 map from when the Barge Canal was still under construction. By the 1935 map, a creek of some sort appears along with a wetland indication. It would appear that the construction of the Barge Canal did interrupt some sort of natural waterway resulting in the dead trees we see today even if it wasn’t on earlier maps.
In case you’ve wondered what the area you lived in looked like in the past, just head over the USGS’s topoView site and download the map(s). There are multiple formats available, I used KMZ format for use with Google Earth.
I managed to catch a lone goose, some turtles sunning themselves and even caught a duck taking off.

Françoise Gervais a lu à plusieurs reprises le message lui annonçant qu’elle faisait partie des 100 photographes sélectionnés par le prestigieux concours international Wildlife Photographer of the Year. « C’était difficile d’y croire », dit en riant la Québécoise qui vit à Victoria, en Colombie-Britannique.ici.radio-canada.ca

A Yellow-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus goiavier) spotted feeding on a nearby tree at the Pandan River, Singapore, on 15 Oct 2019. I've taken shots of these birds in the past but these ones came out quite well, I think.

Und hier kommt ein Urweltmammutbaum. Dieser Baum aus China ist ein 'lebendes Fossil' und wurde erst 1942 in China (wieder)entdeckt. Die Gattung ist fossil seit der Oberkreide (90 Mio. J.) nachgewiesen.

And here comes a Metasequoia glyptostroboides. This tree from China is a 'living fossil' and was only (re)discovered in China in 1942. The genus is fossil since the Upper Cretaceous (90 million years).

Schaut euch diesen Küstenmammutbaum (Redwood) an. Er ist im westlichen Nordamerika zu Hause. Diese Bäume können 1000 bis 1500 Jahre alt werden.
Und wir Menschen denken, wir seien groß(artig).

Look at this coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens). It is at home in western North America. These trees can live from 1000 to 1500 years.
And we humans think we are great.

Ganz besonders schön finde ich diese Tränen-Kiefer. Sie wächst in Höhenlagen bis 2500 m von Afghanistan bis Nepal und ist leider durch Raubbau stark gefährdet.

I particularly like this Pinus wallichiana. It grows at altitudes up to 2500 m from Afghanistan to Nepal and is unfortunately highly endangered by overexploitation.

Dies ist die Japanische Zelkove. Sie ist in Ostasien zu Hause, eine verwandte Art gibt es auch auf Kreta. Das starke Kernholz wird für den japanischen Bogenbau genutzt.

This is a Zelkova serrata. It is at home in East Asia, a related species can also be found on Crete. The strong heartwood is used for Japanese bow making.

Heute nehme ich euch mit in die "Gartenanlage des Geologischen Dienstes #NRW". Gemeinsam entdecken wir #Bäume aus aller Welt (wenn ihr mögt).
Der Garten wurde im Jahr 1969 angelegt.
