High Brown Fritillary - Argynnis adippe
This large, powerful butterfly is usually seen flying swiftly over the tops of bracken or low vegetation in woodland clearings. In flight, the males are almost impossible to separate from those of the Dark Green Fritillary, which often share the same habitats. However, both species frequently visit flowers such as thistles and Bramble where it is possible to see their distinctive underside wing markings. The Dark Green lacks the orange ringed 'pearls' on the underside of the hindwing.
The High Brown Fritillary was once widespread in England and Wales but since the 1950s has undergone a dramatic decline. It is now reduced to around 50 sites where conservationists are working to save it from extinction.

Sometimes it feels like
The sun won’t come out tomorrow
Sometimes it feels like
There’s no harder time than right now
But it’ll be alright
‘Cause happiness can be borrowed
From the stranger next to you
If all they share is a smile
Shake, shake off the cold
Shake off the dust, break with the old
Make no mistake, this too shall pass
All of your woes, will turn into laughs
Just keep the faith, stay on the path
Give what you take, don’t dwell on the past
Eyes on the prize, don’t lose sight of your goals
All of the highs, come with the lows
Sometimes it feels like
What’s been broke can’t be mended
Sometimes it feels like
There’s only one way out
But somewhere deep inside
A fire burns unattended
All you need’s a spark from it
To turn this whole thing around
Shake, shake off the cold
Shake off the dust, break with the old
Make no mistake, this too shall pass
All of your woes, will turn into laughs
Just keep the faith, stay on the path
Give what you take, don’t dwell on the past
Eyes on the prize, don’t lose sight of your goals
All of the highs, come with the lows
Sometimes it feels like
You’ve lost every inch of your soul
That it was more than you can take
Or more than you can handle
But instead you just learned how to grow
It’s easier each time
You’ll build upon the struggle
You only know highs from the lows
And with some faith you’ll find
Your way to the brighter side
Shake, shake off the cold
Shake off the dust, break with the old
Make no mistake, this too shall pass
All of your woes, will turn into laughs
Just keep the faith, stay on the path
Give what you take, don’t dwell on the past
Eyes on the prize, don’t lose sight of your goals
All of the highs, come with the lows
All you can do is
Shake, shake off the cold
Shake off the dust, break with the old
Make no mistake, this too shall pass
All of your woes, will turn into laughs
Just keep the faith, stay on the path
Give what you take, don’t dwell on the past
Eyes on the prize, don’t lose sight of your goals
All of the highs, come with the lows

It is a cool feeling to hike in the forests of the Wiehengebirge, small paths and the look down on River Weser. Porta Westfalica, Ostwestfalen, Germany

I closed a door and made a draft to open the windows.
This musical theme inspired me because in the album "End Of An Era" the vocalist Tarja Turunen was asked to leave and it was a big mistake because in my opinion this was the best Nightwish album, but maybe it was the best because it was the end of an era.
