THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES

ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK

Vorige week was toch al goed te zien dat de herfst op z,n einde loopt

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last week it was already good to see that autumn is coming to an end

The forest breathes. Listen.

It answers.

I have made this place around you. Stand still.

The forest knows where you are.

You must let it find you.

Last year in November on a hike through the Eifel forest.

Hike at the beginning of October 2022 in light fog in the beech forest.

Taken at the Analamazotra National Park near Andasibe, Madagascar on the side of the forest path on our way to see the lemurs. Sorry do not know the identity of this flower.

Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and favs..it is always appreciated.

Last week in the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park on the summit of the Erbeskopf...a dream of snow and sun.

While most of the snow that had fallen 3 days earlier had already melted in the valleys, it was still almost 30 cm at 800 meters above sea level.

Vergangene Woche im Nationalpark Hunsrück-Hochwald auf dem Gipfel des Erbeskopf...ein Traum von Schnee und Sonne.

Während in den Tälern der 3 Tage vorher gefallene Schnee bereits weitgehend geschmolzen war, hatte es oben auf 800 Höhenmeter noch fast 30 cm.

This old oak is called "Julius-Eiche". It was once considered a natural monument. Its specialty is that it grows next to a clearing and has all its branches stretched out towards the light. Even so, it is still strong and firm. Unfortunately, this forest is currently heavily managed and I hope that it will be able to stay alive for a long time to come.

Diese alte Eiche hat den Namen "Julius-Eiche". Sie galt einst als Naturdenkmal. Ihre Besonderheit ist, dass sie neben einer Lichtung wächst und alle ihre Äste zum Licht hin ausgestreckt hat. Trotzdem steht sie immer noch stark und fest. Leider wird dieser Wald zur Zeit stark bewirtschaftet und ich hoffe, dass sie noch lange am Leben bleiben darf.
