I was captured by the vividness of the moss on this stump; it almost seems to be glowing.
Completely unrelated, some of the lands around here were toxic waste dumps in the fifties.
A photo from this date, at some point in the past.
Credit to this gorgeous image goes to my wife; she took this at a conference she was attending in Italy at the time, outside of Genoa. Sometimes I wish I was a stressed out, under appreciated, under funded and student-berated research professor, just so I could be sent to these places.
