Fun Fact

McCloud Nature Park’s Prairie Maze is such a lovely fall activity. Hard to believe that just 6 months before this visit, the entire prairie was burned out in a prescribed burn. What do you know about fire ecology?!
A Storm is coming up (Sand Mountains of Holm, May 2019) - - I was just reading a book in the nice May sunshine, enjoying the scenery with the fresh green colors of new leafs when I suddenly realized that dark clouds had been coming up. So, I quickly decided to return to my place (which is not far - 15 minutes by bicycle). But not before shooting a final photo. To the Sand Mountains of Holms: OK, 'mountains' is too big a word for it. These are actually inland Dunes located on a couple of clearings within a a pine forest. The clearings are islands of past geological times: Located West of Hamburg's urban area, these inland dunes were formed roughly 12,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age. By that time it was about 10 degrees colder than today. There was no forest cover but only patchy vegetation in the form of a tundra. In addition, in the areas covered by the ice sheet, the vegetation had to re-establish itself as the glaciers melted. As a result, the winds could blow almost unhindered. Light, fine-grained soil particles, especially of silt and sand were plucked up by air currents, often transported for miles and then deposited at another location. In high winds the dunes had a tendency to "wander". Most of the currently existing inland dunes (of which there are several along the Elbe River) were created at that time. With the end of the glacial period, the mobility of the dunes quickly came to a halt as a result of reforestation. The sand dunes are partially covered by heath and other dry grassland plants. Over the years it appears that the pine trees are expanding into the dune area, which (if my observation is correct) will be an interesting ecological long term development. Wildlife animals like deer, rabbits and birds can be seen occasionally. No snakes, of course. Now, while the sandy situation for the local farmers was and presumably is a problem, in 2005 it was decided to preserve this quite unique ecological set-up and the Nature Reserve status was initiated. #nature #naturephotography #nature #lovelynatureshots #natureonly #naturescene #hamburgcolors #hamburgphotographer #hamburgfotografiert #ig_captures #hhinstagram #igerhamburg (hier: Holmer Sandberge) https://www.instagram.com/guidobillstein/p/BxPNYDgAxqr/?igshid=12lfn6qh2n9zg
