The pink hour
| Submitter: | Ágnes Mika |
| Description: | It's early in the morning. The sleepy sun greets the world by lending a tinge of pink to the low-hanging clouds. Bent over a maquette, the guide of Natuurmonumenten tells about the Dwingelderveld: its history of moving ice masses, sand, forests and the age of men; of what it takes to preserve its diverse beauty. A brief walk takes us along the well-tended garden and the sheep flock to the observing tower. We climb up and breath in the quiet of the horizon-less heath. The footpath leads us across fields, along the heath with its characteristic fens and then into the forest. We learn to spot fox trails and stand in silent admiration by an impressively engineered badger sett. In the distance, the Dwingeloo radio telescope appears, beaconing us home. With heads full of freshly acquired knowledge and hearts overflowing with beauty, it's time to tackle the working day with a serene smile. (The two excursions that inspired this Daily Image were organised by the ASTRON-JIVE-NOVA PV (Employees' Association) in September, 2024.) |
