Autumn visit.. to Olympos

[biothanasis]

Hello,

Yesterday I went back to the mountain again and I would like to share some phots with you!

1. Weird coloured bug!
2.Cyclamen hederifolium. Between 1050- 1100m the place was full of them!!!
3-4. Mushrooms
5. It is not a poop!
6-7. Campanula sp.
8-9. Epipactis sp. (might be E. subclausa)
10-11. The scenery at 2100m, changed in a few minutes! Fog was all over the place!!!!

Looks like an amazing place...just one among thousands I'd love to visit. It must be really cool to see wild cyclamen growing everywhere. Very cool, thanks!

Yes it is! And it happens almost all over Greece this time of the year!!

Oh, I forgot to post this little fellow too! It's curiousity made it come so close to me (less tha a meter...lol). Generally birds on this mountain are very calm, cause they experienced no disturbance from man so far!! (hope it stays this way...)
