Two nice views in the peat bog

Both these photos were taken in the Armenveen, part of the Haaksbergerveen, a peat bog near Haaksbergen, The Netherlands.

On the edge of the peat bog:

A view over the peat bog:

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 45mm, ISO100, f8, 1/160s}

The white stuff you see in the second photo is common cottongrass (Eriophorum angustifolium) aka bog cotton, often found in peat bogs.

I could sit looking at these scenes for hours, if it weren't for the mosquitos. Those dragonflies really should work harder at catching them.

Thanks for watching!
