observasion from my natur area: grønnsjøveien

• In this project I have chosen to observe a place named Green Sea Road. This is a place located in Luksefjell, which is located in the municipality of Skien, Telemark county. This is a place I've grown up and like me very well, so I thought this could be a nice place to observe what happens from March to May. You will be able to see the development in power point presentation min. I have not focused on a particular location, but taken pictures along the late pathway, from the beginning of the trail to the end of the trail, so you will see some photos, but also some videos, to one thing, my dog is part of many of pictures, she loves the camera.
