Those Koniks are beautiful and I hope will be part of the islands forever. It looks so peaceful there unlike what is happening in other parts of Europe as well as in the west of the US. Here we are under a flash flood watch and hope it’s not what Germany experienced.

Glad you are able to rest and recuperate in such a lovely area.

Very nice Alexander, writing about nature is never lost on nature.

It's always good to see the Koniks thrive, this photo is a treasure in time, even in their feral circumstances today.

I'm following the devastation the flood is leaving behind.

People are calling this weather caused event a 'Water bomb' or Rain bomb'. We had one similar here in 2013. It happens very fast. The weathercasters saw it coming but had no idea how much the clouds were holding. I had to move to higher grounds while I was camping (It sounded like an oncoming train) out of a natural existing drainage carved for eons. This is where the water wants and needs to flow, still today . . .

I hope we learn to settle on this globe out of the way of these occurring weather dynamics in the future. I think Esri GIS is making a great effort by collecting data maps to point us in the right direction.

Thank you, I saved the Konik herd photo (-:
