Mid-summer on Pakri islands

Shore on Väike-Pakri.
July is the high summer and haymaking month. The lavish after-Midsummer nature is slowly beginning to loose some of its vivid colourfulness – partly too because of us humans who mow the beautiful hayfields for animal forage. Besides seeing, our senses of smell and taste sharpen. Understandable – strawberries, bilberries and other wild delicacies appear on Nature’s “market stands”. So it is on the mainland.
On the small islands life is somewhat different. Only now artist Nature starts its work here. On the stony soil such views are painted as grand art galleries only may dream of: unbelievable to the eye and indescribable in words.
That life on the Pakri islands and on other small islands largely is such even today is ironically thanks to the doings of the Soviet-time military forces, who in practice turned them into secluded reservation areas.

The genuinely interested have the chance to explore the wonders of the Pakri islands with geologist Kalle Suuroja on July 16-19.
