My entries for the "Kauzige Wälder" photo contest by NABU e.V..
Mushroom Forest - This group of mushrooms was growing on the side of a huge, old tree. It looks a bit like a mushroom forest on it's own.
My Tiny Boat - As the tiny snail crawled into the walnut shell, it looked like it was sailing the seas with a tiny boat.
New Life - I found this little pinecone in the forest. It's absolutely fascinating how out of it's dead, decaying body, new life, new mushrooms grew. Things like this make me feel like there is a big circle in nature, where death is just the beginning for a new life.
