global warming, asteroid strikes, plant diseases,
nuclear warfare, and even earthquakes.

That is such an amazing photo! And I enjoyed learning about the seed bank. I'm glad they are protecting the seeds. :)
SvaraRaderathat is a beautiful photo - as always. And it's interesting to read about the vault. How sensible.
SvaraRaderaSuch a beautiful photo Randi.
SvaraRaderaI find the seed bank a wonderful project :D

Your photographs are always so well done. Great take on the theme. Happy weekend.
SvaraRaderaA superb shot (as ever!) THe seedbank is a welcome move. I fear that it will be needed
SvaraRaderaHärlig bild!
SvaraRaderaJag måste försöka att komma ihåg att ta ut mina orkidéer i år. Men jag ska inte klaga på blomvilligheten i alla fall. Sen vi flyttade hit har det nästan alltid varit någon/några i blom.
Ha en riktigt skön helg.

A very cool shot and interesting take on the theme :)
SvaraRaderaHappy Weekend!
Vilken underbar bild! Perfekt för temat och fint att påminna om 'banken' i Norge.
SvaraRaderaWow! Fabulous shot! So lovely. And so creative for our theme this week.
SvaraRaderaVery interesting...is this a ribbon of seeds?
SvaraRaderaBrilliant idea, we have to be sure more species don't disappear.
SvaraRaderaHappy weekend to you Randi and thanks for the visit.
This is a lovely picture... great colors and the shadows of the seeds. Thanks so much for stopping by.
SvaraRaderaI"m breathless once again...
SvaraRaderaI also liked this version of the theme. Not one that I had thought of at all, and as a gardener it shocked me that I hadn't when I saw your post. Pretty nice photo too, actually. Thanks for your contribution.
