The picture in the near distance has two spruce Pine trees on the left near the edge of the picture and one thicker and larger, spruce pine tree toward the right of the picture. These trees have no low branches and so none are shown in the picture light is coming from the left side and so the surfaces on the left are better lit and the sides to the right are in deep shadow.The sun shines brightly on young spruce pine trees, growing as a blanket across the remainder of the picture these trees are probably no more than a foot and a half tall and they have wide pine branches. In the distance is a gray rock covered in black flaky fungus. There are some thinner evergreen trees in the distance, and the light seems to indicate that there is a clearing further in front of the viewer.

I blog a bit about working "extra remotely". Does changing up where you work improve your workflow and/or creative thought?

While the damage wasn’t as severe with #Helene as other communities like #SprucePine or #ChimneyRock, it still damaged homes, businesses, infrastructure. which always takes time to repair and rebuilding. Life has almost returned to normal for Rosman, until the next #flood. (cont.)

Think Hurricane Helene doesn't affect you? Spruce Pine, NC was the world's only source of the quartz required to make semiconductors. Spruce Pine got decimated by the storm. There are no alternative sources known. Global semiconductor manufacturing could end within six months.
For further insight into why the Spruce Pine location is so unique, the official Sibelco pages do a pretty good job of encapsulating the story of this particular mine. It is the world’s leading high-purity quartz (HPQ) provider, and the firm claims it produces “the world’s highest quality quartz” at this mine. Geologically speaking, the uniquely pure minerals at Spruce Mine were created about 380 million years ago when Africa collided with North America. This momentous collision, however slow, caused intense friction and heat miles below the Earth’s surface. According to Sibelco, the Spruce Mine minerals were created by a rich mineral-forming liquid that cooled and crystallized over time. A standout feature of these minerals is that they were made in their purest forms due to a lack of water, which caused all the friction.
