@GreenFire

I've read about the roofed canals, too.

I believe that humanity needs to think much bigger and use #Agrivoltaics wherever possible. (In fact, we could call the swimming panels and the roofed canals #Aquavoltaics.

As I've researched for my thread, agrivoltaics creates #microclimates, likewise irrigated gardens like the ones built by the #Moors in southern Spain, e.g. #Granada.
Picture this 4 almost any fields, rivers, and reservoirs, as well as some coastal regions...still micro?

"If the project seems small-scale, in one sense it is: the conservationists here are working not to return wolves to the hillsides but rather larvae to the undersides of leaves.

"And yet the journey to this point has been a long and trying one, shedding a light on the over-caution that still fetters ecological #restoration in a world that seems to be changing far more quickly than many human minds."

Inkcap Journal · On Llantrisant Common, a butterfly took on the bureaucrats – and wonConservationists despaired after an application to translocate caterpillars was denied, while another to kill them was approved. Yet, against the odds, the marsh fritillary is back.

Heather :chickadee:

And finally, the finished painting. :) Painted in photoshop CS using one of the default bundled painting brushes. I was so pleased with how this turned out!

I've always been fascinated by Pictish stones and carvings, and the Yorkshire moors mean a lot to me. I don't do landscapes often, but I'm glad I did this one.

Plus I snuck a pony in there. ;) Entitled "The Wayfarer", painted in 2015.

The final painting. A cloaked traveller leads a packhorse along the crest of the hill with stormy clouds behind them. They and the tall standing stones poking from the ground before them are lit by a low sun. The foreground features the side of the hill in shadow, covered in heather and mosses, with stones littered here and there. There's another standing stone in the right foreground with a Pictish "double disc and z-rod" motif carved on the rock.
