I hardly ever upload landscape shots to JD, but since this beautiful forest was almost pure tree heaths, I figure it works :) Posted 3 years ago

  I think you already know this, but even without a single species as main focus, landscape photos are very welcome. There's a special button "ID not relevant" in the ID dialog. Posted 3 years ago
