A great spotted woodpecker sits in a conifer tree and gazes completely relaxed into the blue sky.

Ten thousand flowers in spring,
the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer,
snow in winter.

If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life. ~ Wu-men ~

The image shows a picturesque winter landscape with a deep blue sky and snow-covered mountains. In the foreground is a wide, snow-covered area. Dense, dark forest covers the lower slopes of the mountains. A small church with a pointed tower can be seen in the distance.

The picture shows a street in Zagora, an oasis town in the Moroccan region of Drâa-Tafilalet. The town is also known as the "gateway to the desert". Two girls are walking along a pavement, reading their school notebooks.

You can see a sailing boat anchored in a bay. The masthead light glitters in the water. Large dark clouds fill the sky and merge with the water. On the left, you can see dark trees on the shore.

On the right side, you can see the crown of a dark, bare tree. A large bird flies past it on the left. It is very foggy and completely grey.

The image shows a macro shot of white star-of-Bethlehem flowers (Ornithogalum) with two black ants on them. The flowers have distinctive white petals with a dark centre. The ants are crawling around on the flowers, with one visible in the upper centre and another on the left. The background is blurred (bokeh) and rendered in greyscale, drawing attention to the insects and flowers.

Christmas is not a happy time for everyone.
Stop domestic violence against women!!

Protect yourselves and your children from violence. There are free hotlines for help (in Germany the number 116 016) which is available around the clock.

Do not look away if it is your neighbours or friends!!

The image shows a black-and-white macro photograph of the seed head of a clematis (Clematis vitalba). The focus is sharply on the centre of the seed head, highlighting the fine, fluffy and tangled structures of the fruit hairs. The delicate, tangled texture contrasts with the thin, darker stems and a single smooth, teardrop-shaped seed hanging downwards. The subject is isolated against a light background, emphasising the delicate transparency and contours of the fibrous structures and giving the image an almost sketch-like quality.
