A post seen from afar

When my ankles started getting wet, I realised it might have been a better idea to stand close to this post and look at the peat bog from a distance:

Tiny post is tiny

Good message :D

This is so strange, I could have made exactly the same picture in the Morvan (Burgundy France). I don't know where you made your picture but it will certainly be somewhere else. Each time I am a little amazed (I will never learn this) that this kind of nature is ' the same ' everywhere.

The photo was taken on the edge of a peat bog called Aamsveen, just to the south-east of Enschede, The Netherlands.

I have been to the Morvan several times, but I missed this one 8-).

Ah, the Netherlands! When my husband and I aren't in our house in the Morvan, we live in Rotterdam. We are Dutch (like you?). We are in Rotterdam right now and plan to go back to the Morvan in January.
I will try to make ' that one ' over there (lol)

I am Dutch, yes. Do post that photo!

It's never until you are in it that you know!

Indeed, and then you're stuck unless you're willing to leave your shoes behind.

Peat bogs, thing of beauty.

But it is so much fun slopping through a bog, never knowing how deep the next step will go.

... hunting for grizzly bears, armed with a Russian made camera, on dusk, in a hailstorm..... ah the memories ;-)

#fakephilosophy....that make me laugh out loud!! Love your photo shoot - the area is lovely.
