New Design: Barren Tree at Cleland National Wildlife Park, near Adelaide, Australia, Prints and Products [Gifts]

ORDER TODAY

Capture the stark, dramatic beauty of Australian nature with this striking black and white photograph of a bare, majestic tree reaching skyward. The image focuses on the intricate, sprawling network of leafless branches silhouetted powerfully against a smooth, dark gray sky.

The use of monochrome emphasizes the structure, texture, and graphic intensity of the tree’s form, transforming a natural subject into a powerful work of abstract beauty. The image evokes a feeling of quiet solitude, winter stillness, and the enduring strength of the natural world. Perfect for modern, minimalist, or rustic decor, this piece offers a sophisticated, timeless contrast wherever it is displayed.

Also available on throw blankets, pillows, tops, tees, iPhone cases, and much more!

The newspaper that gives back to the Earth – literally via One Earth [Shared]

I have seen other projects like this, but not on this scale. Companies need to ensure they are delivering seeds compatible with the local environment, but what a great way to easily get people growing. – Douglas

What do you do with your newspaper when you’re done reading it? Put it in the recycle bin? Save it for packing paper? Well, one Japanese publishing company wanted you to be able to grow herbs with it! The “Green Newspaper” was invented by the publisher of the famous Japanese daily, The Mainichi Shimbunsha. Published for “Greenery Day” on May 4, 2016, the special edition dedicated to environmental news was printed on 100% biodegradable paper with plant-based ink, and embedded with seeds that, when planted, would grow into flowers to attract butterflies and other pollinators, or herbs to eat. The publisher instructed people to tear the discarded newspaper into small pieces, plant the shreds in soil, and then water the container as they would any plant.
