Natural History Photographs


For today the main destination was the mountainous area between Thripti and Oreino, but we always prefer to approach our destination via small roads. This gives the opportunity to stop and look around if the habitat looks promising. Here, we stopped because of a fig tree beautifully lit by the sunlight. Accessibility of the terrain was low, so this turned out to be a short stop.
