Just north of Skärhamn
I saw one of those birds but at 400 meters distance. A few years ago there was hundreds of them at this time of the year. I wonder what might have happened.
Not as wet as last visit but still very wet. This time I had to clean my boots for real. Probably because it wasn´t that soaking wet as last time - it was more kind of mud. Next time I will bring a plastic bag to put them in. My car do not look nice at all.
Sundsby Säteri
Old pines. I presume there was no sheltering woods around when these trees grow. They had to dodge to get away from the wind and salt. There is a small colony of dead threes. Probably a thousand years.
Moulding oak leaf was the perfect background to this blue colour. Oak leaves contain lots of acid who needs to be compensated by the shells in the soil. Without the shells there wouldn´t have been any blue anemones. They need lots of calcium to manage the acid rains from above.
The soil us full of shells giving it a silvery colour. There was a beach here just a few thousands years ago. Thanks to what the sea brought there anemones can manage. They are very rare due to air pollution now a days.
