”The homeward road was very long, I haven’t met a soul
Now the evenings grow gloomier and colder
Come comfort me a little, for the journey takes its toll
And I’m suddenly so alone"

'The #Autumn Song' 🍂🧡🍂
(Via Moomins FB).

Come comfort me a little, for the journey takes its toll

#SciArtSeptember 1: Islet
Somewhere in the waves of Barents Sea, a rocky islet acts as a perch for seabirds. Puffins, guillemots, razorbills and skuas are still here, though threatened by heating oceans and spreading disease. With them sits a lonely ghost of a great auk that once roamed these seas.
