I'm not entirely sure why this caught my eye today, maybe it's the way the tree the framed the path or perhaps it was the lines from the window frames and bricks.

Whatever it was, it stood out enough that I pulled my camera out of my bag and fired a couple shots.

Nothing else really caught my eye today, so looks like this is the winner.

Hope everyone has had a good Monday.

It happened to be a beautiful day in Georgia today, so I went for a nice long walk. I jumped on the walking path that runs by my home with this week's Flickr Friday on my mind. When I reached this part of the path and its #Shade, I stopped. I thought this would be perfect for this week's topic.

Beekbergerwoud

The Netherlands has 20 national parks and hundreds of other nature reserves. Most are owned by Staatsbosbeheer and Natuurmonumenten and include lakes, heathland, woods, dunes and other habitats.

According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, the territory of the Netherlands belongs to the Eco region of Atlantic mixed forests.

In 1871 the last old original natural woods (Beekbergerwoud) were cut down, and most woods today are planted monocultures of trees like Scots Pine and trees that are not native to the Netherlands. These woods were planted on anthropogenic heaths and sand-drifts (overgrazed heaths) (Veluwe).

For a long time the Beekbergerwoud has been known as the last `primaeval` woodland of the Netherlands.

Natuurmonumenten started in 2006 with the restoration of the area and tries to gain back a little of the fairytale wilderness.

Nutrient-poor and crystal clear water wells up at some places and there are still rare plants from the former swamp present. Seeds of native trees and plants are still in the ground and can sprout again.

Beekbergerwoud

10 juni 2013, natuur in wording. Even ten zuiden van Apeldoorn ligt het Beekbergerwoud. Ooit het laatste oerbos van Nederland, ontwikkelt dit vroegere agrarische gebied zich al weer aardig tot een gevarieerd natuurgebied waar je heerlijk kunt wandelen. Zo’n 8.000 jaar bleef het Beekbergerwoud ongeschonden. Totdat in 1871 tot de laatste boom werd geveld. Er kwam een agrarisch gebied met weilanden en akkers. Natuurmonumenten is in 2006 begonnen met herstel van het gebied en probeert daarbij iets van de sprookjesachtige wildernis terug te brengen. Je kunt in het Beekbergerwoud wandelen vanaf de parkeerplaats aan de Woudweg in Klarenbeek. Helder water Een bijzonder natuurgebied om te beleven, want de omstandigheden voor unieke natuur zijn nog altijd aanwezig: Er welt op een aantal plaatsen kraakhelder, voedselarm water uit de bodem op. En zijn nog steeds zeldzame planten uit het voormalige moerasbos aanwezig. Zaden van oorspronkelijke bomen en planten zaten nog in de grond en kunnen weer ontkiemen. Verbinding met IJsseldelta Het herstel houdt in dat het schone welwater beter in het gebied blijft staan. Op een aantal bulten zijn al zoete kers, zomereik, haagbeuk en winterlinde geplant. Meer werkzaamheden zullen volgen, met als doel dat het Beekbergerwoud een aanwinst is voor de Nederlandse natuur. Een onmisbare schakel die de Veluwe als vanouds met de IJsseldelta verbindt. Zodat planten, zoogdieren, vogels, reptielen en amfibieën zich beter over grote afstand kunnen verplaatsen.

Sunrise and thick fog. This print came a lot closer to my vision of the scene than any of the several lith prints I attempted.
