Natural History Photographs


Theth, Albania
Along Rruga Gjecaj
13 & 18 July 2017


On our way to and away from the valley, we drove along the Rruga Gjecaj, which from the top of the pass onwards is a narrow dirt road. It winds mostly through the forests, with some open places. We stopped a couple of times to explore plants and insects along the road. The landscape shown here is the view from the road to the northern end of the Theth valley.
