Melting White.

Possibly one of the last white sceneries for this #winter, as the temperatures in #Berlin are expected to rise from -12 to +14 C within a week.

As usual, the coldest winter arrives to Berlin in February. View of lake Kleiner Müggelsee under ice and snow.

A moment of tranquility for the end of the year.
Let's keep finding and appreciating little moments in our daily lives.
Happy holidays!

Beautiful light and crisp air outside, these days.

I've been away from social networks for a while, but #autumn is too beautiful not to share. Here some impressions from my recent walk at Berliner #Müggelsee 🍂

Happy weekend!
Some #colors for this lovely, sunny day today. Can you spot the intruder? 😉

Sturdy Sunbathing.
Italian #Dolomites (pictured: Sella range) are widely famous for their natural #beauty and geology. Here, some of the vertical #cliffs rise more than 1.500 m and are among the highest #limestone walls in the world.

August was the Month of the #Sea! In memories at least. And here are the highlights: from rough azure #beaches and wild bays of #Hawaii, to surreal pink #sunset in Barbados and hopeful sun patch on the surface of the Adriatic Sea in Croatia.

-- Unique flora and fauna characteristic for these habitats are sensitive to disturbances, therefore the area is protected within #Kaltenbronn Nature Reserve in #Schwarzwald.

Dot in a Bog.
#Lake Wildsee, the largest of its kind in Germany, is part of unique, acidic, #wetland – raised #bog, where nutrient-poor peat accumulates instead of soil, due to incomplete decomposition of plant material in oxygen-depleted soil. - /1

Walk in a bog. #Bogs are #wetlands with extreme conditions – acidic and nutrient-poor, home to specialized species such as sphagnum mosses and Scots #pines. In such unique #ecosystem, material brought in on shoes can disturb natural balance, therefore visitors must use boardwalks

Beauty is in Little #Moments.
We don't always need to travel to see #beautiful things. If we pay attention, we’ll notice them everywhere around us, including simple, #ordinary things we see every day. All it really takes is to #TakeAMoment and #look around you.

-- After a 2.5-month summer break (I'd usually spent at 🌊as a child), it wasn't too bad to get back to class, friends and schoolbooks. To this day, selection of pens and notebooks that „inspire me“ and „fit“ to every subject remains my favorite work-prep activity 😊📝📚

Back to the Hive.
Although #summer is not yet technically over, for me it ends with the beginning of #September. In my home country, Serbia, the 1st of September is traditionally when a new school year starts. -/1

#Sunset splash.
It’s always a bit saddening to realize that days are getting shorter & nights are cooling down as August comes to an end, announcing the end of #holidays & return to everyday life. Bye, #seaside! I haven’t even seen you this #summer, but #melancholy is there.

-- Parrotfish bites off & chews parts of corals, ingesting algae & excreting ground calcareous skeleton as fine sand. In many places it is now forbidden to remove sand & shells from beaches, as removal of these materials threatens the future of delicate coastal ecosystems. /2

Fine White Powder.
That fine #sand, that you may enjoy feeling between your toes when on the #beach, takes thousands, even mil of years to form. This involves erosion & weathering of stones & pebbles, but in #coral islands like in the #Caribbean, also parrotfish poop. /1

Beach Ride.
Surprisingly popular activity of local Indonesians, from what I have seen in #Lombok, is to ride a motorcycle up & down the #beach front. Didn’t seem like much fun to me, especially given the high-pitch noise these scooters can produce.
