Today was a weird day, full of drama and unhappy thoughts. The reasons are not important, the only thing that matters is I found my peace. As a nature lover, I run to the woods often, to clear my mind, listen to wind sound and asking myself "who are we, why are we?" and other deep stuff that crosses my mind. Hope nobody will think I'm crazy, just a "normal" dude here:)
Was researching an interesting thing about these "Ginkgo biloba" trees and it's just fascinating how they work and how powerful can a tree actually be. In fact, it took some time for it but was more than happy to search out some of the most beautiful photos of it and I will also share some knowledge about history and nature in general. We will also have a laugh or two, of course, all 
The Ginkgo tree or the Maidenhair tree is the only living kind in the division "Ginkgophyta", all others are extinct, unfortunately. Some kinda fossil trees dating way back, even 200+ million years. Originally discovered in China. The older Chinese name for this plant is 銀果, meaning "silver fruit", that sound nice, where is the "gold" one? That supposed to be a joke:)The popular cultivar "Autumn Gold" is a clone of a male plant, but it doesn't give any seeds. All are very tough plants when I say tough, that really means that. Everything you imagine x 1000. Surviving a nuclear war? YES! Really, some science facts say that the Hiroshima explosion generated 400 times the suns heat in those few seconds, these trees are wooden, right?:)
It was mind boggling to understand how could they survive such a "wave" of destruction, obviously, they were harmed but healed back very quick. We are talking about giant trees. Growing over 40meters in height. Who through generations took some "abuse", maybe human or natural. It made them overcome all the stress of the world, and push through it in the worst times. See, if more people would think and work in this fashion, well, the world would a better place.
Some planted trees at temples are over 1,500 years old maybe even more. A special status in Buddhism means it's also widely planted in Korea and parts of Japan. Europe, the US and other parts of the world grow it for a few hundred years now. I also found out it has some healing powers, called also the prehistoric herb.
A must watch material.
The winter, we cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence. Like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away. - Zhuangzi (Chinese - Philosopher)
The nuts inside the seeds are particularly e-steemed:) in Asia and are a traditional Chinese food. Seems cool!
Prepare these nutssss, lolz... If you know the joke about "deezz nuts", well you have to laugh right?:) In just a few minutes find out how can you do it. And have a great
