Relic fish, autumn colors, and more
I was out hiking a bit today.
A small pond on the way up. One can really see that fall is fairly well progressed here, with almost no leaves left on the birches. Almost all the bilberries are gone, but there was plenty of crowberries (Empetrum nigrum) to be found above the tree-line.
This lake (Fiskhålsgraven) is interesting. It dates back to the last glaciation, and there are unique dwarf char (Salvelinus alpinus) in there. The char is only about 10 cm long.
There was also a fairly neat canyon a bit further away. One can really see the work of frost in there...
