The view from a hiking trail in the forest (or woods) of a Nordic Country (Norway) during early autumn (or late summer) time. The image is part of a series of autumn images. The image was captured at low ISO with a fast prime short telephoto 85mm f/1.8 resulting in shallow depth-of-field (DOF).

Perennial Globe Thistle display at a Street Market in Lyon in early summer. The Echinops Ritro produces architecturally-striking blue blossoms with perfectly round flower heads which are perfect for striking flower arrangements - and dried flower displays. It has great eco-green credentials being extremely attractive to bees, butterflies and other insects, before making an excellent cut flower. This striking display is at a Lyon Street Market in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes of France.

$Echinops ritro, the southern globethistle, is a species of flowering plant in the sunflower family, native to southern and eastern Europe (from Spain east to Turkey, Ukraine, and Belarus), and western Asia. The species is sparingly naturalized in scattered locations in the United States.\n Echinops ritro is a compact, bushy herbaceous perennial thistle, growing to 60 cm tall, with broad prickly leaves and bearing globes of steel-blue flowers 2.5 cm - 4.5 cm in diameter, in late summer (source Wikipedia). \n\nThis Picture is made in an Ornamental Garden, during a Vacation to Ireland in July 2022.$
