I rarely upload photographs taken with my iPhone but this is a rare exception. Later today I went to the same spot with my camera to take a similar photo, I will upload it once I process it.
Rarely seen as much nature splendor as in America
during my tour, you fall from one surprise to another and don't know where to look anymore, it's overwhelming to be able to process it all during a trip.....
With all due respect please do not Arward and Banners for me, it contributes nothing and I prefer a fave or a comment, both is also warmly appreciated.....:-))
The lesser goldfinch or dark-backed goldfinch (Spinus psaltria) is a very small songbird of the Americas. Together with its relatives the American goldfinch and Lawrence's goldfinch, it forms the American goldfinches clade in the genus Spinus sensu stricto.
The American goldfinches can be distinguished by the males having a black (rarely green) forehead, whereas the latter is (like the rest of the face) red or yellow in the European goldfinch and its relatives. North American males are markedly polymorphic and 5 subspecies are often named; at least 2 of them seem to represent a less-progressed stage in evolution however.
This petite species is not only the smallest North American Spinus finch, it may be the smallest true finch in the world.Some sources list more subtropical Spinus species as slightly smaller on average, including the Andean siskin. This species ranges from 9 to 12 cm (3.5 to 4.7 in) in length and can weigh from 8 to 11.5 g (0.28 to 0.41 oz).Among standard measurements, the wing chord is 5.5 to 7 cm (2.2 to 2.8 in), the tail is 3.9 to 4.7 cm (1.5 to 1.9 in), the bill is 0.9 to 1.1 cm (0.35 to 0.43 in) and the tarsus is 1.1 to 1.2 cm (0.43 to 0.47 in).[4] There is a slight NW-SE cline in size, with the largest birds from Mexico and south being up to one-fifth larger than the smallest from the extreme NW of its range; this effect is more pronounced in females. There is also considerable variation in the amount of black on head and back in males, and thus three subspecies have been proposed. But this variation too seem to be simple and clinal changes in allele frequency, and thus the "subspecies" might be better considered morphs or geographical forms.
Males are easily recognized by their bright yellow underparts and big white patches in the tail (outer rectrices) and on the wings (the base of the primaries). They range from having solid black from the back to the upper head including the ear-coverts to having these regions medium green; each of the back, crown and ear regions varies in darkness rather independently though as a rule the ears are not darker than the rest. In most of the range dark psaltria birds (Arkansas goldfinch) predominate. The light birds are termed hesperophilus and are most common in the far western U.S. and northwestern Mexico.

The bee-eater (Merops apiaster), rarely also called "bee-pecker" because it does not belong to the woodpecker family, is a strikingly colorful bird from the bee-eater family of the same name (Meropidae). It is one of the migratory birds that winter in Africa.
The bee-eater, which is around 28 centimeters tall on average, is one of the most colourful, hard-to-confuse birds in Europe. The abdomen and chest are turquoise, the crown, neck and back are rusty brown, as are the wings, and there is a black eye stripe over the yellowish chin. Other characteristics are the long, slightly curved beak and the elongated central tail feathers, also known as tail spikes, which are only found in adult birds. The overall paler colored young birds are additionally greenish tinted on the back and the elytra, from brownish gray to dirty sandy colors.
The bee-eater prefers warm climates. Its distribution area extends from south-west and western Asia, north-west Africa and south and south-east Europe north to south-east Poland. In Germany it was considered extinct at the end of the 1980s, but has been immigrating again since 1990. At the beginning of the 21st century it settled in the area around the Kaiserstuhl in Germany. In 2015, half of the approx. 1000 pairs breeding in Germany lived in southern Saxony-Anhalt near Merseburg. In the same year, a small population appeared in the district of Viersen on the left bank of the Lower Rhine.] The bee-eater can also be found in the northern Kraichgau.

Der Bienenfresser (Merops apiaster), selten auch – fälschlich, da nicht zu den Spechten gehörend – „Bienenspecht“ genannt, ist ein auffallend bunter Vogel aus der gleichnamigen Familie der Bienenfresser (Meropidae). Er gehört zu den in Afrika überwinternden Zugvögeln.
Der im Durchschnitt ca. 28 Zentimeter große Bienenfresser ist einer der buntesten, kaum zu verwechselnden Vögel Europas. Der Bauch- und Brustbereich ist türkis, Scheitel-, Nacken- und Rückenpartien sind rostbraun, die Flügel ebenfalls, über dem gelblichen Kinn befindet sich ein schwarzer Augenstreif. Weitere Merkmale sind der lange, leicht gebogene Schnabel und die nur bei den Altvögeln vorhandenen, verlängerten mittleren Schwanzfedern, auch Schwanzspieße genannt. Die insgesamt blasser gefärbten Jungvögel sind auf dem Rücken und den Flügeldecken zusätzlich grünlich getönt, von bräunlichem Grau bis schmutzigen Sandfarben.
Der Bienenfresser bevorzugt warmes Klima. Sein Verbreitungsgebiet reicht von Südwest- und Vorderasien, Nordwestafrika sowie Süd- und Südosteuropa nordwärts bis Südostpolen. In Deutschland galt er Ende der 1980er Jahre als ausgestorben, seit 1990 wandert er jedoch wieder ein. Er hat sich zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts im Gebiet um den Kaiserstuhl in Deutschland angesiedelt. 2015 lebte die Hälfte der ca. 1000 in Deutschland brütenden Paare im südlichen Sachsen-Anhalt bei Merseburg. Im selben Jahr tauchte eine kleine Population im Kreis Viersen am linken Niederrhein auf.] Auch im nördlichen Kraichgau ist der Bienenfresser anzutreffen.

I rarely smile in a photograph, by someone else or a self portrait; and so some comments have been passed suggesting I look miserable or unhappy. - - - Looking at this shot of a friend I am not sure he should be smiling either.

Rarely seen in this area, I observed three fluffy fledglings.

Rarely do the skies above Los Angeles provide a crystal clear view of the skyline but that was the case this past Sunday morning as eight GE locomotives along with three EMD geeps paused momentarily over the concrete lined LA River with the day’s edition of the MBARLAC while its conductor lined the switch into the LAJ’s A yard.
Thankfully Im Finished getting back to or Checking Out 442 people on this photo!! So slow to do at 1.5minutes each!!!

Hope you like it.

I rarely take photographs of myself so it's kind of funny that I chose a day where I had basically just gotten off a plane from Chicago to Edinburgh without sleeping (The day before,, mind you, I had my first endoscopy and colonoscopy!), and instead of freshening up, I hit the ground running to get vegan haggis for the first time (It's actually REALLY good and I hadn't had solid foods in awhile!) and see modern art. Priorities....flying for me and not sleeping feels basically the same as the second day of a music festival when I have stayed up all night editing photos....which is what I was doing the weekend before my endoscopy and colonoscopy....I expect so much of my body and wonder when it's just going to say, "Peace out, I'm done here!"
Anyway, I walked into this bathroom at The Modern Two after seeing an exhibit called Women in Revolt, documenting the feminist movement in Scotland and England since the 70s (I just loved the sign If Men Could Get Pregnant, Abortion Would Be a Sacrament!) The colors here just immediately brightened up my mood and I instantly felt like I could walk ten more miles with 30+ pounds of my camera equipment, which I then did (more vegan haggis for dinner!)
I'm rambling. What I am trying to say is that I liked this bathroom and vegan haggis and feminism and colors.

Rarely used part of the rail systems in rural Nova Scotia. One line runs directly into a concrete production facility.
I rarely photograph people. However, back in 2018, a scene unfolded before my eyes that was too compelling to ignore. As I sat in my car I watched it for five minutes and I was really mesmerized. A young woman, quite well dressed, approached a homeless man on the wet street. There was no hesitation in her step, no faltering in her approach. She sat down beside him, their worlds momentarily intersecting, and they shared a sandwich. The simplicity of the act, the unspoken understanding, left me wondering. I can't claim to know her reasons, but in that moment, I wanted to believe in the existence of pure kindness.
With so many horses about that morning, the fun challenge was to capture them in a good pose with the Sierra Mountains in the background. I was able to pull it off a few times with individuals, but never did get a group shot that I liked. This bay must have been assigned guard duty because it rarely took its eyes off me.

We rarely get fog....as a matter of fact ...we are well known for our hours of sunlight and are actually the sunniest city in Canada.
In the winter months, of course, we only see about 3 to 4 hours of sunlight... but, we usually see it ... with brilliant blue skies as well...
Not yesterday. Visibility was only about 1/2 a block for driving....
I trotted out with my camera to try for a few foggy day shots... to my usual golf courses...
After only about 5 minutes here my fingers were good and cold.... no gloves on... I didn't think it would be that bad as it was only -7C....but, it felt colder...
Got back into the car and had to sit for a bit before I could even make them work well enough to drive.
The snow was not really snow ...it has been warm enough for some melting several times and so it has re-frozen and what looks like nice white snow is deadly slippery solid ice. I picked my way around very carefully and got the heck off there....

Reed warbler
Scientific name: Acrocephalus scirpaceus
Listen out for the 'chattering' song of the reed warbler, while wandering the UK's lowland wetlands in summer. A small, brown bird, they are quite hard to see.
A small relative of the Moorhen and Coot and about the same size as a Redshank, the Water rail lives in reedbeds and freshwater wetlands where it feeds on invertebrates and small fish. Secretive and rarely seen, Water rails are more often heard calling; making a sound like a piglet squealing, they are unmistakeable. Around 1,100 pairs nest in in the UK.

Many thanks to everyone who takes the time to comment, award and fave. It's really appreciated.
Rarely ever find mantises anymore and the ones I do find are skittish and never let me get close to them, so it was good to finally get a quality shot of one that decided to corporate
The cement transfer facility of Gdańsk Osowa rarely gets visited by any railfans. Usually it is very quiet, as it sits in a nice wooded area on the suburbs of Gdańsk. The most recent published pictures from this place you'll see might come from around 2021. No wonder - barely anything happens here and it is very hard to see actual shunting work being done on this siding, because the traffic here is very unpredictable.
The siding, in railway nomenclature officially called "Gdańsk Osowa Grupa Ożarów", is located on the railway line Matarnia - Gdańsk Osowa (no. 235), which in itself is very interesting and I want to talk more about it in a future post - there are more pics to show too! The cement transloading facility itself was constructed in 1976. Three years later it was supplied with the SM42-2537, which came here fresh from the factory and runs to this day, with barely any changes (note the two headlights instead of the standard three!). Since 2003 the facility is in the hands of Grupa Ożarów (by then already owned by the Irish CRH company).
Very recently CTL Logistics took up the task of transporting cement to this facility, instead of PKP Cargo which keeps crumbling apart before our eyes. We got some intel that loaded cement wagons would be brought up the heavy incline from Gdynia to Gdańsk Osowa by CTL on the night of 17-18.07, and so we set out to see some shunting work on this very climatic industrial railway. As luck would have it, we didn't see any shunting done for the whole day, but we were met with a big surprise, as it turned out that CTL had brought a third train as we were there, which made for some very unique photo opportunities.
Because we didn't see the desired green SM42, we also decided to visit the place the day after, 19.07.2024. After rushing to the facility from the station Gdańsk Osowa, I finally managed to photograph SM42-2537 as it was working on unloading cement wagons into the cement silo. A short window of sun allowed us to take this nice picture with a dark, cloudy background.

Glam Affair has me SPEECHLESS.
This rarely happens. I can never not find a word. I’m awesome with words. But I have none to tell you how in love with skin I am.
Could this be the skin I move on from Anna with?
Oooohhhhhhh….
Backstory; I always wore my Lel Raven head, always.
I changed shapes, but I used to wrong head for the shape, bc, you know, I just graduated from Silly Goose university.
So my avi looking all cute with the wrong head for the shape but it’s ok. She’s cute.
I always notice Skin Creators use Lel Avalon for their ads.
So now that I’m wearing Avalon, completely by accident, and I’m blogging these gorgeous Glam Affair skins, it’s like the missing piece of the puzzle fell into place.
These skins looked incredible on Raven, they are PERFECTION on my new shape.
TL;DR - I’m a goose and wear Lelutka Avalon now.
ANYWAY!!! Let’s talk about THIS skin.
This Glam Affair skin, Aga.
If it’s not in their mainstore now, it’s guna be, real soon.
And you should definitely go grab a demo and see just how amazing it looks on your avatar, and then buy it, because this is perfect.
As always, three options in your chosen skin tone. Dark brows, light brows and no brows.
And let me tell you, these brows are a big part in what made me fall in love with this skin.
Shown in Sienna B, on Lelutka Avalon.

I rarely like insects in my house, but one peeking over the edge of the petals would have made the shot more interesting. And no, I did not go out and look for one.

Pseudopodoces is somewhat similar in appearance to the unrelated ground jays (Podoces) but much smaller – about the size of a house sparrow (Passer domesticus) – and lacks any conspicuous markings. More strongly however, it resembles a wheatear (Oenanthe) in habitus, but lacks black feathers and has a strong and slightly downcurved bill resembling that of a chough (Pyrrhocorax) in shape (though not in colour). Its soft, lax body plumage is extremely cryptic in its natural habitat. The underside is a greyish-fawn in colour, with a tawny hue. The upper parts are mostly a darker fawn-brown, with the central rectrices and the primary remiges a little darker still; the head is colored like the underside, with a darker cap and light nape patch, somewhat reminiscent of some tits and chickadees, especially those from the genera Parus sensu stricto and Periparus. The bill, legs and feet are black. Males and females look alike.
The voice is described as a plaintive whistling, cheep-cheep-cheep-cheep and it also has a two syllable finch-like call
Self-evidently, this was taken from a plane flying over the very centre of London; I've looked up at them from street level, but have only rarely been on appropriate routes myself, even rarer in suitable weather. There are far too many landmarks to mention, so I'll just pick a few highlights.
The Tate Modern, within the old Bankside Power Station on the Thames' South Bank, is at the extreme lower left, near the twin bridges of Blackfriars Station, its covered platforms extending right across the river, and Blackfriars Bridge, carrying road and pedestrian traffic. The curving facade of Unilever House is at the northern (right) end of the Bridge.
Almost midway between Blackfriars and Waterloo Bridge, the next one upstream (away from the camera), the 'spire' atop a redbrick-and-white striped building is the distinctive Oxo Tower. The trees immediately beyond are at Gabriel's Wharf. Just to the left of Waterloo Bridge is the National Theatre; just beyond is the rest of the South Bank complex of performance venues.
Back on the other side of the Thames, the 'wedding-cake' spire of St Bride's church, off Fleet Street, is nearly in the middle of the photo's bottom edge. The area of trees behind, extending almost to the riverbank, comprises Inner- and Middle Temple Gardens, at the heart of 'legal London' (the trees on the riverbank, extending as far as Parliament, line the Victoria Embankment). To the right of Temple, the Royal Courts of Justice (the primary civil, not criminal courts complex) are on the edge of the cloud and the western boundary of the City of London; everything beyond is the City of Westminster.
The obvious spired church beyond the Courts is St Clement Danes, at the junction of the Strand (Fleet Street became the Strand just east of the Courts) and Aldwych, which curves right then back left to rejoin the Strand at the approach to Waterloo Bridge. At the near end of Aldwych, facing St Clement's, is the Australian High Commission; immediately behind is Bush House, the ex-home of the BBC World Service, then behind that is the High Commission of India; the embassies of other Commonwealth nations are further along the Strand and into St James's.
To the left of Bush House, slightly indistinct behind a wisp of cloud, the spired church of St Mary-le-Strand stands on a traffic island in, yes, the Strand. To the left, between the Strand and the river, are King's College London and Somerset House, the latter including the Courtauld Gallery and Institute. Incidentally, as the name implies, the Strand was once the nearest road to the Thames, before Sir Joseph Bazalgette constrained the river to a narrower, faster-flowing channel by 1870.
Staying on the north side of the Thames: the Strand continues to Charing Cross and Trafalgar Square, roughly in line with the Hungerford Bridges (i.e. the Golden Jubilee (pedestrian) Bridges to either side of the Hungerford (railway) Bridge). I can't identify specific buildings in this section of the Strand, but I see the long roofs of Covent Garden market at the far right of the image and the triangle of riverside park is Victoria Embankment Gardens, with Cleopatra's Needle on the river wall.
I can see the spire of St Martin-in-the-Fields church on the near side of Trafalgar Square, but Nelson's Column is surprisingly difficult to discern, as is Admiralty Arch at the entrance to The Mall, the 'processional route' past St James's Park (note the long lake) to the Victoria Monument and Buckingham Palace, fortuitously visible in a gap in the cloud.
To the left of Charing Cross, er, roundabout is Charing Cross railway station, obviously leading to the railway bridge.
Beyond, the Embankment remains tree-lined past Whitehall Gardens to Westminster Bridge (note the RAF Memorial on the riverbank); one 'block' back from the Thames, Whitehall extends from Charing Cross to Parliament Square, lined by the major departments of government, such as the Ministry of Defence Main Building, behind the RAF Memorial.
To catch up on the South Bank: the huge observation Wheel of the London Eye stands opposite the RAF Memorial, with County Hall to its left, beside Westminster Bridge, and the Shell Centre to the left of Jubilee Gardens. Next to the left is the expansive roof of Waterloo Station, the terminus of railway lines snaking away into the distance.
Beyond Westminster Bridge stands St Thomas' Hospital, then Lambeth Palace Gardens and Lambeth Palace itself, the London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, at the southern end of Lambeth Bridge.
It's unfortunate that cloud slightly obscures the Palace of Westminster (aka Houses of Parliament), but one can still see the iconic Clock Tower (the 'Elizabeth Tower' since 2012) at the nearer end and the Victoria Tower at the other. Immediately to the right of the Clock Tower is St Margaret's Church then the rather larger Westminster Abbey. To the right of the Abbey's west front, and left of the corner of St James's Park, is the distinctive 'square dome' of Methodist Central Hall; further along Victoria Street, leading diagonally away to the right from the Abbey, one can see the tower and green domes of the catholic Westminster Cathedral.
To the immediate left of Parliament is Victoria Tower Gardens, extending as far as Lambeth Bridge; the large building immediately beyond the trees is Thames House, headquarters of MI5, the domestic 'Security Service'. The high-rise Millbank Tower, to the left, hides the Tate Britain gallery.
The next crossing of the Thames is Vauxhall Bridge, with the headquarters of MI6, the 'Secret Intelligence Service' at its south-eastern end.
Luckily, I've covered the next reach of the Thames in detail elsewhere, so will just mention Battersea Power Station and Battersea Park on the south side of the Grosvenor Railway Bridge and Chelsea Bridge, with the housing estates of Pimlico nearer on the north bank and Chelsea to the right.
The remaining visible bridges are, in sequence upstream, the Albert, Battersea, Battersea Rail and, ~8½ km away, Wandsworth Bridge.

Very rarely have I seen the white-throated capuchin smile but he seemed very close to it when this image was captured. They are such fun to watch and never a dull moment. You hardly know where to point the camera !!
Wishing you a wonderful and blessed day !!
I rarely see these neotropical migrants they have a preference for large, leafy hardwood trees and almost always stay near the tree tops.

Rarely have foamers witnessed such exhilarating railroading as this Milwaukee patrol caught by Bill Ohde in Manilla, Iowa. This was the point where the Milwaukee main split off with the southern leg going to Council Bluffs and the northern leg going to Sioux City. This train, behind FP7 104A, is heading westbound (depot out of view behind the locomotive) in August 1974.
Such scenes boggle the mind.

A rarely visited set of falls in early autumn. These falls need the right time if day and the right amount of water to work well. I liked the juxtaposition of the warm berries against the cool falls.
Recently back from a trip to Bandhavgarth, India to see the magnificent Bengal Tigers. However, a real bonus was this Asian Leopard - a very rarely seen cat, even rarer out in the open, in daylight with a recently killed deer. Such a beautiful cat, in a magnificent part of India.
“Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them – a mother’s approval, a father’s nod – are covered by moments of their own accomplishments.
It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.” —Mitch Albom

I am going to do something today I rarely do--a large upload of six photos, all of this year’s Red-Shouldered Hawk chicks from the pair I’ve been watching over a decade. Those of you who have followed me will remember the previous years’ encounters, especially the time they attacked me. Posting all six will also take my Birds IV album to 500 photos and a good way to close it out. (I cap my albums at 500 . . . easier to work with.) I’ve not spent a lot of time at the nest this year because of my previous complaints about the homeless and junkies, but I have been down there a lot this week, and Thursday got a few good shots of one of the parents. I wanted to catch everyone up on this year’s observations and brood.
Thinks it's being sneaky watching me . . .
Thanks for Viewing.
Rarely post pictures of myself, but I liked how this one came out. Taken at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers.
I rarely do anything except birds...and my kitties. Elliot was focused on this insect he thought was a Bee Fly but it wouldn't come close. I took a few shots at a distance for him. Then it came close and he got the shot he wanted. I just like the proboscis coming down for the Amsinckia (fiddleneck) flower in this shot.
This is 600mm Macro! :)
I rarely see Eared Grebe's in breeding plumage. And then when I do, the neck is not upright like this one. In fact, I didn't know they had such a long neck. So this was a fun shot for me.

Juniper rarely poses for me. She came to us from a rescue society after having been found pregnant in the Everglades. I suspect she accidentally got away from her owners as opposed to having been abandoned as she acts like an example of feline royalty. Her kittens were quickly claimed and Nancy and I welcomed her to our home. She has adopted both of us as her humans, on her terms of course.
Rarely do these beauties pause for very long with their wings fully open--- but the color is a delight to see when they do.
I rarely ever upload food photos. For something a little different I thought I'd take a photo of my dinner. I had Stealhead with shrimp, mashed potatoes, mix veggies, and multi grain toast.
I'm really sorry I haven't commented and faved all my friend's photos lately. I've been so incredibly busy in my work and business. I'll definitely be back on in the next few days. I hope everyone had a wonderful day tomorrow. :D
this rarely seen bird inhabits forests on the coast of East and Southern Africa.
Malkohas are related to cuckoos but are not brood parasites.
This bird is sometimes called Green Coucal or (Whistling) Yellowbill and it is closely related to the Blue Malkoha of Central and Western Africa.

Gypsum is rarely found in the form of sand because it is water-soluble. Normally, rain would dissolve the gypsum and carry it to the sea. The Tularosa Basin is enclosed, meaning that it has no outlet to the sea and that rain that dissolves gypsum from the surrounding San Andres and Sacramento Mountains is trapped within the basin. Thus water either sinks into the ground or forms shallow pools which subsequently dry out and leave gypsum in a crystalline form, called selenite, on the surface. Groundwater that does flow out of the Tularosa Basin flows south into the Hueco Basin. During the last ice age, a lake known as Lake Otero covered much of the basin. When it dried out, it left a large flat area of selenite crystals which is now the Alkali Flat. Another lake, Lake Lucero, at the southwest corner of the park, is a dry lake bed, at one of the lowest points of the basin, which occasionally fills with water.

I rarely get time to go for their shows but was working till morning on Saturday so got to catch them and by the end of the show i was like.. WHAT TIME IS IT NOW ! and went back to work.. Be sure to catch BAPBOYZ in shows across SL.
I rarely ask people if I can take their photograph. I think it's because I worry the answer will be no and I don't want to bother them. Sometimes, I actually feel a little wrong trying to capture beauty and find answers in the world without permission, too. But, I do like primarily unposed gestures and facial expressions as well.
There's also a weird thing I have noticed where men want me to take their photo (even asking me to half the time) and women do not. Women seem more excited when men want to take their photo, I've noticed, which is a bit strange to me.
Anyhow, still not fully caught up on sleep from my flight back but here was a good human moment with this woman and her cute dog on her first floor balcony in Crete.

I rarely shoot traffic from the high iron of the Drummondville Subdivision but, I'm trying to make exceptions for these soon to be gone 900 & REN sets. With the arrival of new Siemens-built trainsets, the 900's, Renaissance, LRC's and even most of the HEP fleet will be removed from service.
At the head-end of №24 today we find P42DC VIA 915 pulling one of the two remaining sets of Renaissance equipement used on the daily QMO trains.
Die wildeste und natürlichste Küste Dänemarks findet sich am Nationalpark Thy. Keine Buhnen oder sonstige Küstenschutzbauten, selten ein paar Menschen, nur endlose Weite, Dünen und Strand. Genauso hat es hier schon vor tausenden von Jahren ausgesehen.
Den vildeste og mest naturlige kyst Danmark kan findes på National Park Thy. Ingen høfder eller andre Küstenschutzbauiten, sjældent nogle få mennesker, kun endeløse sletter, klitter og strand. Så det lignede her allerede tusinder af år siden
The wildest and most natural coast of Denmark can be found at the National Park Thy. No groynes or other Küstenschutzbauiten, rarely a few people, just endless plains, dunes and beach. So it looked like here already thousands of years ago
