Mångata

A Swedish word for the road-like reflection moonlight can create on water.

The sun rises over another day in early September. A little summer heat still lingers in the air, but autumn announces its presence, more and more with each passing day. The swallows dart on sharp wings through the air, chasing the last insects. They sit down in the treetops to chat, but quickly part again. Soon they will leave, soon.

In the light of sunrise, the birches flaunt their yellow highlights, and the rowan berries glow fiery red. The thrushes raid the rowans and chatter eagerly while devouring the berries whole. They are accompanied by the distant trumpet blasts of a flock of cranes taking up their positions in the sky. Soon they will also leave, soon.

Delight

[themorningowl]

What scares you, you want to protect yourself from,

but what you love, you want to protect.

I want to protect landscapes like these and everything they contain.

I am a part of them, and they are a part of me.

What do you want to protect?

Nature conservation fact: Familiarity with nature increases the sense of belonging to it and thus one's willingness to protect it.

Thank you so much @landscapeexposurenetwork!

Among the linden trees

When the linden trees bloom, they can attract such large numbers of bumblebees that the competition becomes too great and some of the bumblebees die of starvation. So if you find dead bumblebees under a flowering linden tree, they have most likely ended their life in this way.

[themorningowl]

Well, look at you.
