The hawthorn (craobh-sgìthich - crataegus monogyna) is an amazing bush/shrub/tree. No other plant growing in the #Highlands produces proportionally as many flowers as the hawthorn. The scent is also amazing.

🗺️ Wrong turn! Nestled deep in the highland forests of Scotland lies an abandoned 1930s Opel Olympia. Trees and undulating ground surround the car. A strange scene, but a beautifully photogenic one.

One of my favourite abandoned cars of all time! Now that is saying something given the hundreds I have photographed over the years 😹

I've fallen asleep, and awoken in November.

Preparations for my #BEN_EAF project as visiting scientist at the #JamesHuttonInstitute are still ongoing, but I could hike in the Scottish #Highlands already!

Looking forward to taking #alpine #SoilFauna samples (cores and pitfall traps) and to compare these with #eDNA samplings. 🕷️🧬

Halbzeit!
Und guter Zeitpunkt für ein erstes Fazit.
1600km von der Schweiz bis Dunbar (unsere Basis hier in
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿).
1350km für unseren Trip in und um die Highlands.
Kein Problem für unseren Stromer. Im Gegenteil. Wenn das Gefälle mal 13-15% war, hatte der erst richtig Spass mit dem Aufladen der Batterie.
