Possibly this is the firm responsible? Their site has many beautiful photos. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b5a151d78b7614eeaa4c407c29fb361a85fa0b6fb9d59acd740fa8daa0ea5058.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/68c214fcf323ec6f270288950766119a21cba2f5641a4585859f94c0a3197f08.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6b4a76eeaa3224d2ec60a76384fa5fc10eb87e9dd5cc933f4387eba697dfa3a9.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/cfdaf4d98bb029efc924e9005e541f61b36224c05f70ed66da3a8bc33c3520b1.file
In Stockholm a door surround on a Baroque townhouse has been renovated, with the two heraldic lion sculptures being replaced. The house was built in 1620, and the door surround sculpted in the 1640s. The old lions in sandstone has been retired after almost four centuries of ice, sun, wind and exhaust gasses. Hopefully these will last another four hundred years. I have no idea who made the replacements. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/f39e54fe451627d576e61f31695f9b6c335c31bb78b44ab122e2f29247072c83.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/60e5d5d3b7c35d4162f4fb4ea00a1fb8e315f593bbc5bb74da2114269dbd71e3.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/13cf68b837265329e71afc5d7e3265ece7bcdbadef79199909a57a7e525a502d.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b49dba7e8c4f507fc6f04adee4bf3f617efb46baef1c7a0cf414562209f9c79b.file
Things are changing when even the major news channels are dropping the climate change angle. There is hope yet.
The recent flooding in Indonesia was turbocharged by intensive deforestation. In the worst hit area, Batang Toru in north Sumatra there were seven logging companies active (and no-one knows how much illegal logging on top of that), a hydro-dam project and a gold mine. 700 dead. And it will get worse and worse with time because the logging happens on the best terrain least vulnerable to soil loss first, then the mountain sides where the effects are really catastrophic. Once these forests are cut down (give it a few more years maybe) it will take enormous resources and willpower (that Indonesia doesn't have and never will) to reforest the destroyed mountain soils. Irresponsible resource use, unsustainable population expansion and low quality governments will mean unprecedented ecocide. Climate change have nothing to do with this, but it is a convenient scapegoat to not do anything while lining your pockets with various low effect climate scams. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ee1c3ff67dd313a3f5a2055754e6663666743e9735dc6728cc31833a746de54d.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/014d20e2afad006fec0b459f5ff68e51cfee83a4121592508efe4d55ef8770df.file
On the English comedian Kenneth Williams' love for poetry and old houses. From his autobiography "Just Williams". Their evening entertainment was something I would love to have seen. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/015bda6bd73ff70553a30dadf52a106cbd8febb5cd082e5880e692d479bc89dd.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/2fce1b20eb3cea3f42bc08629692bc6f5a297b91e84ddf0d38d2c551037c1501.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/773cd28e473a7420d67ed6925d5622445f1c529d1117c2d09e752ef3e3a09c92.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/d89eec021415e10be875cffeb81d8e85b5a6f03e7092ca5bbd2cd71c1ec008a6.file
One way of doing this would be to send scores of volunteers to Japan to learn traditional hornet hunting skills that they could then take back and train tens of thousands of volunteers. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/39bca1220bc506fc453319f00ff7decd9207fdb81bdbe00e584c80b9eece1f34.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/d015743a0208a54236c1c2f2f5a35f793d509ce804bcd109023d4704734d36c5.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/4010358f883ac1090552c486a1abc8c1cde8af315c0e438675e6fdbb680a076a.file
