Risnjak Nature Reserve

In the north of Croatia is this wonderful park with ancient Fir and red Beech trees

 

The Firelilie (Lilium bulbiferum) fflowers in the park

Ferns cover much of the floor of the forest

Fir and Red Beech reach straight for the sky

Raindrops make the needles and leaves sparkel

Massiv stems of the Fir and Beech

The roots cling to the ground

A clearing awaits the the Deer and rabbits

A short rest in the cold wind

Up here the trees are smaller and bend to the dominant wind
