Good timing, it started to drizzle when we were nearly home again. Other than that the weather was a gray soup. My camera had a hard time with long exposures in this darkness.
We came across a section that was heavily harvested. 18 and 19 show 3.5 to 4 meter tall piles of logs. Several hundred meters were lined with stack after stack. On the one hand it was cool to stand next to it a big heap but also quite sad at the same time.
Hard to believe, but 13 and 14 is the same tree. We reckon that is a birch because of the white bark, but this cobble stone texture (for the lack of a better term) at the bottom doesn’t really look a birch at all. Neither of us has seen that before.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That looks like really annoying german Matschwetter. 😅
It took me quite a long time to find out what bird that is, but I think I got it now:

Never seen such a tree, either. Then again, I don’t see lots of trees close up anyway. 🥴
