Photographer's comment: A snapshot from ten years ago. To be honest, I thought for a long time whether it was worth putting this not quite successful photo or not. I decided to put it all the same because of the species that has already become rare in our country, which is depicted on it. The cabbage patch is no longer there, nor is the clearing itself where it was photographed.... Now there's nothing there at all. In those places, under the pretext of "fighting" the beetle Ips typographus (Linnaeus, 1758) (bark beetle), proponents of the idea of "saving" the forests of the Moscow region subsequently cut down a huge forest area of 13 hectares. and this clearing fell into the clearing zone. I apologize for the lyrics, but this is history.Please, create an account or log in to add comments.
