#forest #glade
The image is a vertical shot looking out from under a canopy of dark green leaves that frame the top and sides of the view. The foreground is a mix of green undergrowth and grasses. Beyond this, the central part of the image is filled with a dense, tall field of light to medium green reeds. In the far distance, beyond the field, more trees are visible, and a reddish-brown structure, possibly part of a building or bridge, can be faintly seen through the distant foliag

#mountain #lake
The image shows a tranquil mountainous scene. In the foreground, a small, dark blue pond acts as a mirror, reflecting a bright blue sky dotted with white clouds, and the dark green silhouettes of pine trees that stand on a rise behind it. The water's surface also shows some submerged green vegetation and a single bright green mossy rock breaking the surface near the center. Surrounding the pond and extending up the gentle slope in the midground and background is lush, varied green vegetation, including grasses, shrubs, and scattered rocks. Several mature pine trees are dispersed across the hillside, and distant mountains are faintly visible under a hazy sky at the top right.

Fireweed and heather captured in #Glencorse Reservoir, #Scotland, a few years ago 🏞️
A wide shot of a tranquil dark lake in the foreground, with a profusion of vibrant purple fireweed flowers lining its near shore. The lake reflects the cloudy sky above. Beyond the lake, a majestic, rolling green hill rises steeply, its upper slopes scarred by a faint dirt path. The right side of the hill is adorned with large patches of the same purple flowering plants, indicating a widespread bloom.

The beautiful multi-tiered #Shiraito waterfall in #Kushu, #Japan, captured a few years ago 🏞️
A multi-tiered waterfall cascades down a rocky, moss-covered mountainside into a calm pool at its base. The water appears white and frothy as it tumbles over the dark, irregular rock formations, which are interspersed with patches of green moss and small plants. Lush green foliage, including trees and dense undergrowth, frames the waterfall on both sides and from above.

#Bern, #Switzerland, with the #Aare River and #Gurten hill, captured on a summer day a few years ago 😎
A panoramic shot on a sunny day captures a lush green valley with a town nestled among trees. In the foreground, numerous trees with varied green foliage dominate the view. Beyond them, a dense collection of buildings with reddish-brown roofs forms a town. A river, the Aare, with turquoise water, peaks through. In the background, a large, tree-covered hill, Gurten, rises under a bright blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. The overall impression is one of natural beauty and urban harmony.

Today is #InternationalWomensDay

Progress on #GenderEquality in health care is too slow.
Women have distinct & changing health needs at different stages of their lives. Health care should be easy to access, fair & tailored to meet each woman’s unique needs & circumstances.

Against a blue background, graphic representation shows a diverse group of women holding a megaphone and placard. In the background are two yellow and black striped tapes. The text reads 'Women's health needs change from the time they are born to older age. But they often hit roadblocks to receive the right diagnosis and treatment they need.'
