Took this today as the Sun was just about go down to Sunset level, so by this small tree the branches and the natural light was at a perfect angle to catch the delicate blossom. I took about 270 shots today and will be posting them up over the new few weeks. All nature inspired nearing my most favourite time of year, Spring in May!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
Calgary - Alberta
Canada
Designed by Santiago Calatrava
The Peace Bridge is very different from all of the other bridges that Santiago Calatrava has designed. In a departure from the soaring vertical icons that he’s known for, Calatrava opted for a low single-span bridge, eliminating the need for support and cables and therefore meeting the city’s environmental protection laws pertaining to the Bow River. And in keeping with the surrounding natural beauty and nature-inspired theme, Calatrava painted The Peace Bridge a vibrant shade of red to celebrate Calgary’s changing seasons. “Canadian Red” as Calatrava calls it; a color which contrasts with the city’s white winters and complements the red autumn leaves.
So mixing it up because, well, two landscapes in a row is just a bit too predictable now isn’t it.
So here are some flowers pouring out of a milk jug thing from the kitchen. Lucky dirt & blue tack wash off easily or I may have been in trouble. More trouble 😂
Happy new week out there !

The bridge is a landmark structure connecting the north side of the river , which is richly landscaped with trees and grassed slopes, with the South side which is a modern urban landscape. The bridge structure is embedded as a sculptural element into a naturally landscaped surrounding. The upper openings are filled with glazed leaves bent to the same shape as tehexterior of the helical form offering protection to the users from the rain and winter weather conditions.
Especially for Viejito to complete the Leunitrava galleries. :-))

After yesterday's Nature inspired canopy structures, thought that I'll post this series of actual trees along the KL Colonial / riverside walk near the Jamek Mosque.
Gaudí moved from a first Gothic project to a personal, organic, nature-inspired style: to get rid of Gothic foothills, he devised the use of tree trunk-shaped columns that let the weight of the covers fall directly to the floor, practical as well as aesthetic, as it converts the interior of the temple naves into an organic space that resembles a forest.
In 1987 the cementation of the ships began; In 1997 the side vaults were completed and the central one was started.
"People need to be able to get lost in an idea once in a while that is not their own. Go down a different rabbit hole."

No idea why Capitol Reef is Utah’s least visited national park - it's certainly as impressive as the other four!
The western United States has one of the most diverse and complex geologic histories in the world and Capitol Reef is certainly one of the geologic wonders found in this country.
Positioned along a geological oddity known as the Waterpocket Fold, the park is a jumble of spectacular mountains, cliffs, and outcroppings. Every time you go around a bend in Capitol Reef National Park, there’s a new vista to enjoy.
The Flutes are just incredible - they look man-made... Clearly, nature inspired everything man ever made.
Der Capitol Reef National Park umfasst die gesamte, etwa hundertfünfzig Kilometer lange Gebirgsfalte Waterpocket Fold auf dem 2.000 m hohen wüstenartigen Colorado-Hochplateau im Süden des US-Bundesstaates Utah.
Die Bergkette stellte sich frühen Siedlern in den Weg wie ein Korallenriff den Seeleuten - daher der Name des Nationalparks.
The scene with the waterfowl lingering in a line, surrounded by peaceful, tranquil nature, inspired me to capture this shot.
Die Szene mit den Wasservögeln, die auf einer Linie verweilen, umgeben von friedlicher, ruhiger Natur, inspirierte mich zu dieser Aufnahme.

“Life on Display” is perfectly scaled replicas of southern Ontario homes and businesses that used to grace the grounds of Cullen Gardens and Miniature Village in Oshawa, Ontario, until it closed down in 2006. The little buildings went into storage in Oshawa, and were eventually purchased by the Niagara Parks Commission, who only started to display some of the pieces publicly earlier this year.
Only a portion of the original village is on display, grouped into five areas. As you enter there are a few grand Victorian style homes on pillars (the platforms of which are festively decked with greenery and Christmas balls), then a wonderful whimsical treehouse area, an area set aside just for a replica of the Parkwood Estate, a now empty annual flower bed with several stately homes, and a little miniature lake that is surrounded by cottages.
The little lake scene was truly charming with a small train runs around the pond.
The annual flower bed features several large homes, elevated on bricks so that you can see them above the plants during spring/summer. It felt a little barren on a cold day in December.
The grand Victorian style homes set up on pillars were amazing for their authentic details, such as the patterns worked into the roof shingles on this home.
The miniature version of Oshawa’s Parkwood Estate was set up in a way that really conveyed how grand of an estate it was with the live exactly-to-scale shrubs and “trees” bordering the side of the home.
The tree house area was the most fanciful; an entire little world of nature-inspired homes!
tonight's prose…
some days
peace is hard to find
some nights
sleep won't come
remember to breathe
and, listen...
for enlightened words
riding on the breeze.
Love is always the answer.
-- me.
following my own path.
conjuring nirvana.
learning to sit with uncertainty.
living in questions, rather than answers.
choosing survival over healing.
embracing impermanence.
training the dragon in my heart.
reflecting on the mind - so excitable,
so uncertain, so difficult to control.
walking in trauma… the journey of my lifetime.
exploring this nondualistic universe.
surrounded by mystery.
inhale love… exhale doubt.
❣️ 💙 📷 🐄 🐾 🐎 💋

a soldier of peace
in the army of love.

My still life painting captures the vibrancy and movement of freshly gathered flowers, painted from life with expressive brushwork and rich textures. The composition bursts with energy, as bold strokes and a dynamic interplay of colors create a sense of depth and spontaneity. The delicate pinks, purples, and blues contrast beautifully against the lush greens, while the soft, abstract background enhances the ethereal quality of the piece. Light and shadow dance across the petals and leaves, giving the painting a natural, almost fleeting atmosphere - like a moment of beauty preserved on canvas.

in parc de sa riera, even the mundane transforms into art. a man and his dog ascend a staircase painted with vibrant flowers, their silhouettes breaking the monotony of the rigid, brutalist lines. the blank sky frames the scene like an empty canvas, letting the geometry and graffiti tell their story. it’s a quiet juxtaposition—nature-inspired murals meeting stark concrete, and the intimacy of a stroll set against a minimalist backdrop.
if you ever wander through palma, don’t just walk past the parc de sa riera. stop, look up, and take it in—you might see moments like this.

Ah, nothing like the warm wind and the sand between your toes, and of course a beautiful sunset to look to.
Back home, here in PA we are still getting a lot of showers, strong winds and not so steady temperatures, but the daffodils and tulips are blooming, the grass is green again, birds are singing their songs in hopes to find a mate to build a nest together...

Nature inspired me to become a photographer. I specially love trees, birds and flowers, but there is so much to see, enjoy and capture during a long hiking trip, a lake, a conservation area, forest or park, the list of places is very long!
Graphic design is another way to express myself. I love reinventing a photo that I have seen, in different ways. I use Photoshop to do these transformations, and I also my own photos to create textures.

Pipaluk Lake says about her vase: “The work is part of the series of sculptural material studies and expresses the forces that unfold in the movement from one state to another.
In “Passage V”, the glass seems to be poured into its own shape and thereby acts as a container and contents at the same time.”

Descriptions of the glass forms include an array of colorful curvilinear vines, straight-edged reeds, luscious bulbs, and a vast array of Chihuly’s whimsical nature-inspired forms, featuring herons, seal pups, marlins, cattails, onions, and reeds.

"Parasol Mushroom Cluster" by Patti Deters. This cluster of six Green-spored Parasol (chlorophyllum molybdites) mushroom reminds me of a family gathered around their youngest. The umbrella-shaped top, whiteness of the stems, and soft light tan scales help with identification. These fungi are common in lawns and are poisonous if eaten. Other names for this species are green-spored Lepiota, false parasol, and vomiter (because of the poison effect). The spores have a green-ish tint which is where it gets it name. If you like this nature-inspired close-up photograph, please see more outdoor, plants, and other flora at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/parasol-mushroom-cluster....
This piece is a journey of texture, color, and layered memories. Woven with fabric, threads and thick sculptural strokes of paint, Into the blue distance explores the delicate balance between chaos and calm.

Auttiköngäs is a beautiful destination throughout all seasons. The Auttikönkä waterfalls are among the most stunning in Finland. The Auttikönkä nature trail, stretching almost 4 km, takes you across the waterfall, through the primeval forest, and towards the rocks. An interesting and diverse nature trail begins at the Pirttikahvila courtyard. Currently, Auttiköngäs is part of the Northern Finnish forest protection program for ancient forests. The main attraction is the 16-meter-high Auttiköngäs waterfalls flowing in a steep, rocky gorge. The name Autti originates from the Sámi word ávzi, meaning gorge or valley. The term köngäs is commonly found in the names of waterfalls in Northern Finland. The water continues its course to the bottom of the gorge in various streams, roaring loudly between the rocks. The nature trail continues through a serene old forest to a hilltop with a view over the Taiga forests. The gorge where Auttiköngäs foam originates was formed millions of years ago by powerful earthquakes that created the fault line through which the river now flows. The nearby Korouoma Gorge is also part of the same fault zone. Since the melting of the continental glaciers ,around 8000–9000 BC, the area has essentially retained its current form. Historically, the Auttijoki River has been a significant trade route. From the late 19th century to the 1970s, the river was used for log floating. Due to the steepness of the waterfall, it was impossible to float logs downstream naturally, so a log chute was built up to the falls. Today, the chute is preserved as a cultural heritage site.
Auttiköngäs is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Finland, surrounded by the tranquility of the taiga forest. The Auttikönkä nature trail takes you over the waterfall, into the primeval forest, and towards the rocks. An interesting and diverse nature trail begins on the premises of the wooden café-restaurant Pirttikahvila. In Finland, traditional wooden houses are often referred to as "wooden cabins" or "wooden chalets." The Finnish word for a wooden house is "puutalo." The entire area, including the puutalo, is managed by the Nature Services - Metsähallitus. In the restaurant, we enjoyed a delicious reindeer soup made by the owner, Eerikki. According to the owner, the forest is his second home. In Pirttikahvila's catering, you can also find nature-inspired products such as sparkling drinks and homemade jam to take home. The popular Auttikönkää nature trail can be traversed on foot even in winter. Please be aware that especially stairs and hills can be very slippery, as there is no winter maintenance on the route.
Auttiköngäs is in alle seizoenen een prachtige bestemming. De Auttikönkä-watervallen behoren tot de mooiste van Finland. Tegenwoordig maakt Auttiköngäs deel uit van het Noord-Finse bosbeschermingsprogramma voor oude bossen. Het natuurpad Auttikönkä, bijna 4 km lang, leidt je langs de waterval, het oerbos en de rotsen. Het interessante en gevarieerde natuurpad begint op het terrein van het houten café-restaurant Pirttikahvila. Het Finse woord voor een houten huis is puutalo. Het hele gebied, inclusief de puutalo, wordt beheerd door Natuurdiensten - Metsähallitus. In het restaurant hebben we genoten van een heerlijke rendiersoep, bereid door eigenaar Eerikki. De belangrijkste attractie zijn de 16 meter hoge Auttiköngäs-watervallen die in een steile, rotsachtige kloof stromen. De naam Autti vindt zijn oorsprong in het Sámi-woord ávzi, wat kloof of vallei betekent. Het woord köngäs komt vaak voor in de namen van watervallen in Noord-Finland. Het water vervolgt zijn weg naar de bodem van de kloof in verschillende stromen, luid brullend tussen de rotsblokken. Het natuurpad vervolgt zijn route door een vredig oud bos naar een heuveltop met uitzicht over de Taiga-bossen. De kloof waar Auttiköngäs-schuim ontstaat, werd enkele miljoenen jaren geleden gevormd door krachtige aardbevingen die de breuklijn creëerden waarin de rivier nu stroomt. De nabijgelegen Korouoma-kloof maakt ook deel uit van dezelfde breukzone. Sinds het smelten van de continentale gletsjers, rond 8000–9000 v.Chr. heeft het gebied in wezen zijn huidige vorm behouden. De rivier Auttijoki is historisch gezien ook een belangrijke handelsroute geweest. Van het einde van de 19e eeuw tot de jaren zeventig werd de rivier gebruikt voor het drijven van boomstammen. Vanwege de steilheid van de waterval was het onmogelijk om boomstammen stroomafwaarts te laten drijven, dus werd er een boomstamgoot gebouwd tot aan de waterval. Tegenwoordig wordt deze goot bewaard als cultureel erfgoed.
Captured this image while going up on an escalator to ground level at Admiralty MRT Station in Hong Kong, using my mobile phone. There was ample space and volume to house this huge installation. The artificial lighting mixed beautifully with the natural light through opague glass windows.
Artist's Concept:
“Mapping Our Way” is based on imagery derived from the MTR system map. The four transit lines that serve Admiralty Station converge in this monumental suspended sculpture. Sections of the MTR system map were used to create four different sculptural elements, or “maps” that are hung along “tracks”, representing the actual lines coming in and out of Admiralty Station. The “maps” are painted in each of the four-line colours that interchange at Admiralty Station. These elements can also be thought of as individuals, connected to each other by riding the same trains to and from the station.
When viewing the intersections of the four lines, it becomes evident how the paths of individuals cross, adding a touch of humanity to the artwork. The perforated “maps” create a moire pattern effect when viewed moving up or down the escalators below, generating movement within the static sculpture. The elements run along the “tracks” in a forced perspective, meaning they are larger on one end and scaled down to a smaller element on the other. This gives the illusion of the train lines moving closer to, or farther away from the viewer. This sense of movement is analogous to the way people traverse their journeys through life.
The sculpture not only refers to the actual transit lines and the journeys of many people every day, but also reflects the “personal map” that one carries within oneself. We are all individuals, with our own interests and perspectives, yet we are often going to the same places and encountering many others along the way.
Artist: Talley Fisher (USA)
Talley Fisher is an internationally renowned artist from Pennsylvania USA, specializing suspended sculpture for public, corporate and private spaces. Her elegant and positive sculptures abstractly reference nature inspired themes such as stars, leaves, petals or waves, or more industrial or architectural themes. Each of Talley’s sculptures is a simultaneous reflection of her wild admiration for nature and innate appreciation for materials and machines, the literal nuts and bolts, which allow her to bend the rules of physics and push the limits of imagination in every piece she creates.

Timotei was originally launched in the 1980s as the first nature-inspired hair care brand. They started with just one shampoo, formulated with natural herbal extracts known for their nourishing properties. The shampoo was so gentle that it could be used every day without damaging the hair, and it gave women beautiful results.
Excerpt from gncc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/First-Nations-Peace-Mo...:
Many are aware that First Nations peoples were present when European settlers arrived, but few recognize the important role that they played in the forging of the nation we now know as Canada. The relationships amongst these groups were often fractious and unfair, but First Nations still made enormous sacrifices alongside the British and their allies, successfully defending our collective borders at huge cost. These battles, often fought in allegiance with First Nations warriors, produced enormous benefits for settlers sympathetic to the Crown.
Though these important partnerships were initially recognized in the form of covenants and treaties, the spirit of these agreements was not always respected in the long term, and the pivotal roles of First Nations in the building of Canada were diminished in our collective conscience. Written narratives and built monuments of the settlers supplanted the oral histories and nature-based symbolism of the native peoples. Economic and political marginalization and misguided attempts at cultural assimilation further diminished our understanding of the enormous contributions that First Nations peoples made to the founding of Canada.
Canadians are starting to realize the vital importance of recognizing, acknowledging, and honouring the contributions of First Nations, and of the critical importance of reconciliation with First Nations communities.
To help accomplish these goals, this project integrates a physical monument encompassing traditional aboriginal motifs and modern architectural symbolism, First Nations oral and visual storytelling traditions, and a state of the art digital interpretive experience within a historically important and beautiful landscape setting.
The small but highly symbolic limestone monument will amplify upon a well-known Canadian story to generate a deeper understanding of the important role First Nations played in the building of Canada.
The monument will stand in DeCew House Heritage Park in Thorold, Ontario, close to the site Canadian heroine Laura Secord first encountered First Nations warriors in DeCew’s Field late in her fateful journey. They escorted her the final kilometer of her courageous trek to DeCew House to warn the British forces of an impending American invasion. Following her warning, British and First Nations forces were able to mount an offensive that resulted in a definitive defeat of the American invaders in the Battle of Beaverdams, arguably changing the course of Canadian history.
But instead of merely re-telling the familiar but very incomplete Eurocentric narrative of Laura Secord’s famous trek, this monument helps reveal the central role of the Haudenosaunee and other allies in the pivotal Battle of Beaverdams. The battle was fought almost entirely by First Nations forces from Kahnawà:ke and the Grand River who took on the numerically dominant and better-armed American opponents in defence of Canadian territory. These intertwined narratives dramatically illustrate how the often uneasy relationship between First Nations peoples and European settlers could be galvanized, under common threat, into a powerful and genuine allegiance to defend their collective national boundaries.
Douglas Cardinal (Siksika [Blackfoot]), is celebrated for his signature architectural style comprised of curvaceous lines, organic forms, and nature-inspired aesthetics. He has generously donated his detailed design concept to this project, and will oversee the development of the monument to completion.
Cardinal’s design is a distinctive and highly symbolic circular monument made of solid limestone. The circle is a powerful symbol of welcoming, inclusion, and protection in many Native cultures. The protective curved walls are abstract symbols of Haudenosaunee longhouses that open to the East and West, with a central hearth. The fire, a translucent sphere, also represents the sun. The glowing orb that symbolizes the fire will emit rays of light in all directions reminiscent of the campfires of the Haudenosaunee and First Nations allies and the energy of the sun.
Embedded within the walls of the monument will be two graphic wampum belt symbols - the Hiawatha Wampum Belt, which expresses the Haudenosaunee Great Law of Peace, and the William Claus Pledge of the Crown Wampum Belt which symbolizes the restoration of peace and relations among Native allies and the British following the War of 1812.
"Little Fox with Butterfly" by Patti Deters. A young Red Fox kit (Vulpes vulpes) was sitting in the grass watching a butterfly with intense concentration. It was late afternoon and there were sun flares in the hazy summer air which created a magical scene, very similar to this one. This image started with a photograph of the baby fox, then I placed the butterfly and applied several misty and painterly textures to create the hazy atmosphere.

One of the largest flying animals known to science, and an equally intimidating presence on the ground.
My entry for the prelims of the 2022 Bio-Cup, the theme being Nature. Inspired by the recent Prehistoric Planet docuseries, and not the first azhdarchid in this competition. Great minds think alike.
Thanks to Luterem for the touch-up.

"Yucca Flowers - Golden Sunrise" by Patti Deters. A group of flowering Yucca (genus Yucca) glow in the early morning sunrise that paints the sky orange. The vibrant orange and yellow hues of the sky perfectly complement the delicate white petals of the flower spikes, creating a truly breathtaking scene. The sun has just peaked over the sandstone buttes, mesas, and rock formations at Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, seen in the distance. This area is not officially designated as a National Park since it sits within the Navajo Nation Reservation, but is every bit as majestic. This is a beautiful and peaceful scene that also hints at a fun adventure hike just about to begin!

On the corner of Lawnmarket and Bank Street.
William Brodie (28 September 1741 – 1 October 1788), more commonly known by his prestigious title of Deacon Brodie, was a Scottish cabinet-maker, deacon of the trades guild and Edinburgh city councillor, who maintained a secret life as a burglar, partly for the thrill, and partly to fund his gambling.
By day, Brodie was a respectable businessman, member of the burgh council and deacon (or president) of the Incorporation of Wrights and Masons. Part of his job in building cabinets was to install and repair their locks and other security mechanisms and repair door locks. He also served on a jury. He socialised with the gentry of Edinburgh, meeting poet Robert Burns and the painter Sir Henry Raeburn. He was also a member of The Edinburgh Cape Club.

He socialised with the gentry of Edinburgh, meeting poet Robert Burns and the painter Sir Henry Raeburn. He was also a member of The Edinburgh Cape Club.
At night, however, Brodie became a burglar and thief. He used his daytime job as a way to gain knowledge about the security mechanisms of his clients and to copy their keys using wax impressions. As the foremost wright of the city, Brodie was asked to work in the homes of many of the richest members of Edinburgh society. He used the illicit money to maintain his second life, including five children, two mistresses who did not know of each other, and a gambling habit. He reputedly began his criminal career around 1768 when he copied keys to a bank door and stole £800. In 1786 he recruited a gang of three thieves, Brown, Smith and Ainslie.
The case that lead to Brodie's downfall began later in 1786 when he organised an armed raid on an Excise office in Chessel's Court on the Canongate. Brodie's plan failed and Ainslie was captured. Ainslie agreed to turn King's evidence, to avoid transportation, and informed on the rest of the gang. Brodie escaped to the Netherlands intending to flee to the United States but was arrested in Amsterdam and shipped back to Edinburgh for trial.
The trial started on 27 August 1788. At first there was no hard evidence against Brodie before the tools of his criminal trade were found in his house; copied keys, a disguise and pistols. The jury found Brodie and his henchman George Smith, a grocer, guilty. Smith was an English locksmith responsible for a number of thefts, even stealing the silver mace from the University of Edinburgh.
Brodie and Smith were hanged at the Tolbooth on 1 October 1788, using a gallows Brodie had designed and funded the year before. According to one tale, Brodie wore a steel collar and silver tube to prevent the hanging from being fatal. It was said that he had bribed the hangman to ignore it and arranged for his body to be removed quickly in the hope that he could later be revived. If so, the plan failed. Brodie was buried in an unmarked grave at the Parish Church in Buccleuch. However rumours of his being seen in Paris circulated later and gave the story of his scheme to evade death further publicity.
Popular myth holds that Deacon Brodie built the first gallows in Edinburgh and was also its first victim. Of this William Roughead in Classic Crimes states that after research he was sure that although the Deacon may have had some hand in the design "...it was certainly not of his construction, nor was he the first to benefit by its ingenuity".
The dichotomy between Brodie's respectable façade, and his real nature inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stevenson's father had furniture made by Brodie.
Deacon Brodie is commemorated by a pub of that name on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, on the corner between the Lawnmarket and Bank Street which leads down to The Mound, and a close (or alleyway) off the Royal Mile has been named after him. There is also a pub in Ward Road, Dundee named after him. A pub in New York City carrying his name sits on the south side of the famous west side 46th Street Restaurant Row between 8th Avenue and 9th Avenue, closer to 9th Avenue.
In 1975 publisher Hamish Hamilton published a book by Forbes Bramble about his life: The Strange Case of Deacon Brodie.
In 1997 a TV movie of the same name was made starring Billy Connolly.

Auttiköngäs is a beautiful destination throughout all seasons. The Auttikönkä waterfalls are among the most stunning in Finland. The Auttikönkä nature trail, stretching almost 4 km, takes you across the waterfall, through the primeval forest, and towards the rocks. An interesting and diverse nature trail begins at the Pirttikahvila courtyard. Currently, Auttiköngäs is part of the Northern Finnish forest protection program for ancient forests. The main attraction is the 16-meter-high Auttiköngäs waterfalls flowing in a steep, rocky gorge. The name Autti originates from the Sámi word ávzi, meaning gorge or valley. The term köngäs is commonly found in the names of waterfalls in Northern Finland. The water continues its course to the bottom of the gorge in various streams, roaring loudly between the rocks. The nature trail continues through a serene old forest to a hilltop with a view over the Taiga forests. The gorge where Auttiköngäs foam originates was formed millions of years ago by powerful earthquakes that created the fault line through which the river now flows. The nearby Korouoma Gorge is also part of the same fault zone. Since the melting of the continental glaciers ,around 8000–9000 BC, the area has essentially retained its current form. Historically, the Auttijoki River has been a significant trade route. From the late 19th century to the 1970s, the river was used for log floating. Due to the steepness of the waterfall, it was impossible to float logs downstream naturally, so a log chute was built up to the falls. Today, the chute is preserved as a cultural heritage site.
Auttiköngäs is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Finland, surrounded by the tranquility of the taiga forest. The Auttikönkä nature trail takes you over the waterfall, into the primeval forest, and towards the rocks. An interesting and diverse nature trail begins on the premises of the wooden café-restaurant Pirttikahvila. In Finland, traditional wooden houses are often referred to as "wooden cabins" or "wooden chalets." The Finnish word for a wooden house is "puutalo." The entire area, including the puutalo, is managed by the Nature Services - Metsähallitus. In the restaurant, we enjoyed a delicious reindeer soup made by the owner, Eerikki. According to the owner, the forest is his second home. In Pirttikahvila's catering, you can also find nature-inspired products such as sparkling drinks and homemade jam to take home.The popular Auttikönkää nature trail can be traversed on foot even in winter. Please be aware that especially stairs and hills can be very slippery, as there is no winter maintenance on the route.
Auttiköngäs is in alle seizoenen een prachtige bestemming. De Auttikönkä-watervallen behoren tot de mooiste van Finland. Tegenwoordig maakt Auttiköngäs deel uit van het Noord-Finse bosbeschermingsprogramma voor oude bossen. Het natuurpad Auttikönkä, bijna 4 km lang, leidt je langs de waterval, het oerbos en de rotsen. Het interessante en gevarieerde natuurpad begint op het terrein van het houten café-restaurant Pirttikahvila. Het Finse woord voor een houten huis is puutalo. Het hele gebied, inclusief de puutalo, wordt beheerd door Natuurdiensten - Metsähallitus. In het restaurant hebben we genoten van een heerlijke rendiersoep, bereid door eigenaar Eerikki. De belangrijkste attractie zijn de 16 meter hoge Auttiköngäs-watervallen die in een steile, rotsachtige kloof stromen. De naam Autti vindt zijn oorsprong in het Sámi-woord ávzi, wat kloof of vallei betekent. Het woord köngäs komt vaak voor in de namen van watervallen in Noord-Finland. Het water vervolgt zijn weg naar de bodem van de kloof in verschillende stromen, luid brullend tussen de rotsblokken. Het natuurpad vervolgt zijn route door een vredig oud bos naar een heuveltop met uitzicht over de Taiga-bossen. De kloof waar Auttiköngäs-schuim ontstaat, werd enkele miljoenen jaren geleden gevormd door krachtige aardbevingen die de breuklijn creëerden waarin de rivier nu stroomt. De nabijgelegen Korouoma-kloof maakt ook deel uit van dezelfde breukzone. Sinds het smelten van de continentale gletsjers, rond 8000–9000 v.Chr. heeft het gebied in wezen zijn huidige vorm behouden. De rivier Auttijoki is historisch gezien ook een belangrijke handelsroute geweest. Van het einde van de 19e eeuw tot de jaren zeventig werd de rivier gebruikt voor het drijven van boomstammen. Vanwege de steilheid van de waterval was het onmogelijk om boomstammen stroomafwaarts te laten drijven, dus werd er een boomstamgoot gebouwd tot aan de waterval. Tegenwoordig wordt deze goot bewaard als cultureel erfgoed.
