I have the opposite view, heathland is far more attractive in summer when it's all brown and dusty. I think we had this discussion before, and pine barrens are your closest biome to our heathland.
Are your trees still leafless? The pics from Finland look far more green than your area.
Leaves look very small in spots, but most have leaves. There's a definite difference between valley and outside. One hill in the area (Mt. Tom) appeared to have lots maybe a majority of trees without leaves.
Thanks. I bust my ass in the gym. Also, if I just did a little cardio, I would be cut up even more, but I just don't have the time for both right now. Maybe in the summer when I'm off.
In fact, going to the gym now. Biceps, wrist curls and abs today.
A weather geek and a gym buddy. I had a bad head cold last week and missed the whole week. I'm going tomorrow though. Are you 100% Grrek ancestry?
Nice walk today with the family. Temperature was around 22c.
The place is called Strensall Common. It's a local heathland and wildlife reserve. It really is a lovely place for a walk, and looks lovely when it's green at this time of year. Come July the heathland tends to be brown and dead looking, and IMO not anywhere near as attractive.
Unfortunately as my daughter decided she was tired, we didn't really see much of it at all. Bloody kids!
very pittoresque. how high are the hills in the background?
Thanks, that's my favourite small town of my area (Gelnhausen).The slope goes up to about 350 m above sea level and about 210 m above the valley bottom.
