The Great Outdoors - Hiking and so on…

All of this looks beautiful to me.

We were supposed to go to Barcelona in February, but COVID fekked that up. I am longing to visit Europe. I've only been to England and the Netherlands so far, and my wife to Italy, and each of us love to travel. We are hoping to tour the Adriatic later this year and I am hoping to make it to this elite resort paradise I heard about (Gosport) as well.

Saw some moose out in Breck over the holidays. Colorado is reintroducing wolves, so ungulates that we see all over the place (elk, moose, and deer–I think I have seen more elk than deer) may be culled in the coming years.

I voted in favor of it. The opposition to these initiatives in the Western states is mainly based on ranchers severely exaggerating the threat to their herds.

And a bull:

There is a vitriloic debate regarding wolves in Norway. The farmers want them all dead. Idiots.

[mclaincausey]

They need to quit being little bitches. Wolves are an important apex predator necessary for their ecosystems. Haven't we meddled enough?

[neph93]

^ all of that.

I’d be ok if wolves outnumbered people.  At least wolves are honest about being wolves.

@neph93:

Not quite the same as Norway …

hard for any place to compare to the beauty of norway‘s nature

[endo]

but waking up in a warm bus with -4°C outside and such a view is also quite ok

Spent a foggy day with fresh snow in the „Chiemgau“ area in Bavaria. Wonderful atmosphere!
21OZ & Danners kept me warm and dry

Like the picture with the sign as it looks like you used selective color as everything,other than the sign, in the picture,appears B&W. When I’m shooting landscapes,sunrises etc.,I try to find something interesting to sort of anchor the image. The sign has that effect.

Thanks, @Jett129

Totally agree with you on the anchor, I’ll try to encorporate that more.

Beautiful shot, @endo

I can only second you: Where is spring?

Two weeks ago in the Tramuntana mountains, spring felt so near
