never too far away from nature Photo

Photographer’s Note

Rivers to paddle, mountains to climb, tracks to hike. Since forests and lakes cover the major part of Sweden’s land aerial, it's a part of the Swedish lifestyle to explore the nature. The right to public access gives you all the freedom to roam the countryside. But also obliged to take care of nature and wildlife, and to show consideration for landowners and for other people enjoying the countryside. Here a photo from Högaberg as from yesterday a campsite belonging to one of five scout associations in Sweden.

Hello Stefan! I like your text and this how it should be but unfortunately it does not always happen and people trample through the woods with no care. It is a matter how we educate our children, isn't it? I saw three families just recently somewhere else on our planet and the park left enough remarks how fragile everything was, nevertheless, after they left the parking area, I saw the first adult standing on the fragile stone, thinking probably that he was a hero and it was only normal of course that everybody joined in. I like your idea very much of including the two oil lamps, they add a romantic touch, childhood memories maybe too. You can actually still buy them, I have a brand new one at home but also some we found in the attic at my grandmother's. This is really nice, I like it a lot. Barbara.
