Last Saterday I was in the NP Sallandse Heuvelrug. It is a hilly ridge, created by a glacier in the forelast ice age, some 150.000 years ago. Every part of the area 'breathes' this icy period, in which it must have been cold and windy. Actually, it was cold and windy that day and everything was covered in hoar frost, making me feel being in the ice age...... I found this Common Juniper that had partly collapsed, creating an image that resembled a giant spider from ancient times...
Cheers,
