Nature Is Metal

Need 📽 by @stagrcast Anthropomorphism is the act of attributing human emotions and moral codes to non-human entities. This is considered an innate tendency of human psychology. Nature doesn't possess intention, ethics, or malice; it is a system of checks and balances, a complex web where life and death, predation and parasitism, symbiosis and competition are all interlinked. In evolutionary terms, what might appear as "cruel" is often a byproduct of strategies that have been successful for survival and reproduction. For example, why would a parasite evolve to be so detrimental to its host? The answer is often that doing so enhances the parasite's ability to spread or reproduce, even though this comes at the expense of the host organism. The same logic applies to predators, whose hunting techniques might seem gruesome but are the result of generations of natural selection optimizing for efficiency in capturing and consuming prey. Moreover, the "cruelty" we perceive may actually contribute to ecological balance. Predation often targets the sick, old, or weak, leading to stronger prey populations. Some "cruel" behaviors like infanticide in lions have evolved because it resets the reproductive cycle of the females in the pride, allowing the new male to sire offspring and thereby spread his genes. While individual events in nature can seem brutal or cruel when viewed in isolation, they often make sense within the broader context of ecological balance and evolutionary pressures. It's a system not of ethical considerations, but of biological imperatives. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!

I agree and know this…but the affect it has on some of us is still a valid and real experience and for various reasons…nature does as it does and sometimes it will be painful to witness/know about. 💔

Yesterday I had the pleasure of cycling the most beautiful trail around sunset time with my brother. Here is a little glimpse of what it looked like. I hope you all the feel the peace surrounding this nature. #switzerland🇨🇭 #switzerland #reels #cowbell #riverlife #reelsinstagram #reelsvideo #naturephotograpy #appenzell #appenzeller #appenzellerland #appenzeller #greenfields #switzerland_destinations #earth #beautiful #vacations #peace #videography #quite #reflection #offbeatenpath #inlovewithswitzerland #worldfrommyeyes

Captured between the storied walls of Shaaz Jung’s ancestral home and the untamed beauty of the wilderness, this is a tribute to the Italian heritage of @canali’s Spring Summer ’25 collection. A dialogue between craftsmanship and landscape, where natural tones, tactile fabrics and soft constructions reflect a new way of dressing — one rooted in observation, freedom and quiet precision. #Canali1934 #ShaazJung #CanaliSS25 Photography: @meister.photo_

Vatnajökull Field Notes: Day 0 January 18th, I broke my ankle skiing in Japan. It wasn’t really the way I imagined starting the year off but an MRI & CT scan with @doctor.masi confirmed the break. I immediately launched into doing everything I POSSIBLY could to recover before the expedition… all while feeling an immense amount of anxiety about my inability to train and considering the responsibility of being a good partner to the crew joining the crossing. I started looking for exit options along the route knowing full well that the best call might eventually be removing myself from the equation. 21 days before the expedition - I got another scan showing the bone was healing, but still quite broken & not in good condition for a 230 mile ride across snow & crevassed ice. It’s hard to fully express the stress I felt in those 3 weeks leading up.. these trips are more than just fun or personal objectives... They’re an essential part of my livelihood & I pour my heart & soul into preparing for every detail. Even training in weird stretches of sand dunes while on the road to try & emulate glacier travel. I’m so grateful to have made it happen despite the circumstances and to share the crossing with a truly incredible group of riders. I’ll be recounting the trip over the next week here with a special series of posts, stay tuned ! @kurt.refsnider @justin.and.bikes @tyson.flaharty @miron_golfman Special Thanks to: @roka @rapha @ari.bikes @envecomposites @tailfincycling 🎥: @vidirb @joelbarger_

Enjoy this majestic mountain goat as he looks out over his wild domain 😍🐕! Captured high up in the mountains near Valdez Alaska during an outing with my pilot friend @helipilotleigh to a location accessible only by helicopter or extreme bush whacking expedition.
