Nice sandy beach! Is this near downtown Chicago?


Took this image last night, about 20:30 in the evening.


Down by the fjord this afternoon, sunday. Was mostly cloudy from noon to the evening, but warm by our standards, about 25C / 77F when this image was taken. Looking NE.


Was actually a bit hazy today. Could smell the forest fires in Sweden. Nice traditional wooden boat.


Looking SE. This is the eastern outskirts of Trondheim. It's about 90 min drive to the border with Sweden.. Grain looks ready to be harvested. Will probably loose out to city development within the coming 5 years.

There are some pictures from today here. This is the way our pine forest and wild landscapes looks like in mid summer:

It's an Iberian subspecie of "Pynus Sylvestris", the most common type of tree here:


There are some "Quercus Pyrenaica" oaks in some mountain slopes looking west to the Atlantic ocean:


An European roe der looking at me, lol:


That's my dog:


There are two planes and an Eurasian red squirrel in the same picture:




Looking northwest. Grass usually turns brown from early July to mid September because of the summer-dry season:


Looking south, that submit reaches 1900 meters above sea level:


It's a small mountain brook which sometimes turn dry in summer, sometimes not. This one is being cooler and rainier than average, and both winter and early spring were rainier than average as well, so water still flowing down towards Eresma river, then Douro river, and finally Atlantic ocean:

The sun did come out later. In fact, it came out not long after those pictures were taken.

Last year's was overcast. Would be better if it was held in July - August is our cloudiest summer month.
